ASTM E84

ASTM E84 is a standard test method for surface burning characteristics of building materials.

FlameOFF® Fire Barrier Paint is E84 certified and for all plenum space combustible materials. Combustible materials are those that readily ignite and burn. Many common construction materials are combustible, including wood and wood-plastic composite and plastic products.

The E84 flame spread rating of a material is determined by subjecting material placed in a horizontal tunnel to a gas flame. A combustible material will be rated as Class A, Class B, or Class C based on its performance in this test.

ClassFlame SpreadSmoke Index
A0 – 250 - 450
B26 – 750 – 450
C76 – 2000 – 450

ASTM E2768

ASTM E2768 is the extended version of the E84 test. Aims to measure surface burning characteristics of building materials when exposed to flame for 30 minutes. This test operates similar to E84 but for a longer duration of time.

The E2768 flame spread rating is determined by the same guidelines used for the E84 standard, reference the table in the above section for more information.

ASTM E119

ASTM E119 are standard test methods for fire tests of building construction and materials.
