Can Tripolymer improve the fire ratings of a wall system and ceilings?
Yes! For over 34 years, C.P. Chemical Company has engaged some of the most reputable independent laboratories in the country to test our Tripolymer product. Using the ASTM E-119 procedure, fire tests were performed on many different standard and custom wall designs. Two identical walls were constructed – one empty, the other filled with Tripolymer foam. In every test, the Tripolymer filled wall showed an increase of fire ratings from 50 to 150 percent! Tripolymer does not melt or vaporize like other foam insulation materials when subjected to the ASTM E-119 testing. Because of its unparalleled fire resistance, Tripolymer has been approved by many state and local building and fire departments as the only foam-in-place insulation product to be used to increase fire ratings on existing non-compliant wall systems.
