Fire Safety

 

All Tech Industries' Cellulose System has been proven to increase a wall's fire resistance 22-57% and exceeds the tough fire safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In laboratory fire resistance tests of wall assemblies and full-sale building demonstrations, structures with All Tech Industries' Cellulose System out performed fiberglass and uninsulated structures by 22-57%. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Underwriters Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy have all documented the permanency of fire retardants in cellulose insulation.

 

The boric acid flame retardant is infused in the natural fibers of the cellulose. During a fire, the retardant melts and holds the heat until the cellulose fibers char. The cellulose then becomes a layer of carbon protection, because the charred fibers won't burn. The density of cellulose prevents the passage of flames and hot gasses, so fire does not spread as readily into All Tech Industries' -installed walls or ceilings, and All Tech Industries' Cellulose Solution restricts the amount of oxygen available to support combustion.

 

All Tech Industries' Cellulose System has a Class 1 rating (FSC 25) for flame spread, and a smoke development rating of less than 50 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Because of our fire retardant treatment, All Tech Industries' Cellulose System has been proven more effective in actual fire situations in maintaining the structural members of a home.

 

All Tech Industries' Cellulose System has been tested by Underwriter's Laboratory according to ASTM standard C739 to be non-corrosive to steel, copper and aluminum, as well as resistant to fungi / mold. All Tech Industries' guarantees its products for the life of the structure. If installed according to manufacturer’s instructions, the insulation will be free from defect and will not deteriorate under normal and proper use.

 

We firmly believe that no other insulation provider can match our commitment to our product. We guarantee that the All Tech Industries' Cellulose System, properly installed, will retain its thermal resistance, fire retardant and non-corrosive characteristics; provide sound control; and continue to meet current national building code standards for the life of the structure.

 

Summary:

  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System has a Class 1 fire rating as determined by ASTM E84 testing.
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System is treated with fire retardants that exceed test requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standard 16 CFR parts 1209 and 1404. All Tech Industries Cellulose System is non-flammable when tested for smoldering combustion.
  • The borates added to All Tech Industries Cellulose System to provide flame resistance are six times less toxic to humans than common table salt.
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System meets all test requirements of ASTM-C739 (US), CAN/ULC-S703 in Canada, federal specification HHI-515E and all FHA, VA, HUD and building code requirements.
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System is permitted as a fire block under Sec. 708.2.1 of the Uniform Building Code (ICC ER-2833).
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) testing and is Classified for the following properties:  Density, Moisture Vapor Sorption, Thermal Resistance, Corrosiveness, Surface Burning Characteristics.
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System passes these additional tests:  Odor Emission, Separation of Chemicals, Flame Spread Permanency, Fungi Resistance, Smolder Resistance.
  • All Tech Industries Cellulose System resists fire longer than other types of insulation. In a test conducted at the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute, the structure with All Tech Industries Cellulose System stood more than 55% longer than the other insulated structure with fiberglass.
