73 N. Main St Insul Description
DC315 is a single component, water based intumescent coating
tested to meet Building Code requirements for the fire protection of
for Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF). Tested and evaluated in the
USA by UL and ICC-ES, and in Canada by ULC and CCMC.
DC315 is fully AC456 Compliant and satisfies the International
Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), National
Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and many other National and
International building codes.
DC315 offers more tested systems to meet interior thermal and
ignition barrier requirements AND DC315 has been tested as a
component of exterior wall systems in accordance with the NFPA
285 and meets IBC Section 2603.5 with various architectural
cladding options.
The Choice is clear, DC315 is the most tested and approved fire
protective coating for SPF insulation on the market today!

DC315 Intumescent Coating
*FOR USA ONLY -View our online Testing Matrix for a complete list of all foams DC315 has been tested and
approved with as Thermal or Ignition barriers.
International Building Code Fire Performance Requirements for SPF: The International Building Code (IBC) mandates that
SPF be separated from the interior of the building by a 15-minute thermal barrier, or other approved covering. DC315 passed
certified NFPA 286 testing over all major brands and types of open and closed cell spray applied polyurethane foams. This
finished assembly testing, conducted by IAS certified testing facilities, complies with the requirements of 2012 IBC Section
803.1.2 and Section 2603.10., 2015 IBC Section 2603.9 and Section 803.1.
Alternative Ignition Barrier Assemblies: DC315 meets the requirements for ignition barrier protection in unoccupied spaces
as per AC 377, Appendix X.
Exterior Wall Systems: DC315 has been tested as a component of exterior wall systems in accordance with the NFPA 285 and
meets 2015 IBC Section 2603.5 with various architectural cladding options.
National Building Code of Canada: DC315 prevents flashover for 10 minutes for Combustible Construction or 20 minutes for
Non-Combustible construction when tested to the CAN/ULC S-145 Standard. This testing has been shown to exceed the
protection of CAN/ULC S-124 tested materials and meets the Intent of NBC Section 3.1.5.12 for the protection of foamed
plastics.
European Union: DC315 has been tested over both medium density and low-density spray polyurethane foam and provides an
EN13501- 1 Fire Classification of B-S2-D0.
Australia and New Zealand: DC315 has been tested to the AUS ISO- 9705 standard over spray polyurethane foam and meets
Group 2 Classification. ISO5660 (part 1 and 2) tests confirm Group number classification as 1 which allows for the addition of
the thermal barrier coating to upgrade the fire rating of the underlying spray foam.
END USE APPLICATIONS: DC315 is designed for interior conditioned spaces. It is the responsibility code and inspection
authorities, architects, specifiers, contractors, installers or any end user of IFTI products to Contact IFTI to discuss their
application to ensure it complies with manufacturers recommendations and meets their intended end use. The use of topcoats,
though not required to meet the fire rating, may be included as part of the overall system to address specific conditions required
for the project and address use in specified conditions such as, but not limited to, exterior wall systems, cold storage, parking
garages or high humidity environments.
