Products compliant with NF P92-507 standard

Products included in coating cycles compliant with NF P92-507 French standard. This standard defines the classification of fire resistant coatings according to their reaction to fire. Classification follows a scale from M0 (fireproof) to M4 (easily flammable). Class M1 identifies the top level that can be achieved by a coating.

Products compliant with NF ASTM E84 standard

Products forming painting cycles compliant with NF P92-507 American standard. This standard defines the classification of fire resistant coatings according to their flame propagation speed based on a specific parameter (flame spread index). Classification includes a scale from A (slow propagation speed) to C (high propagation speed). Class A identifies the top level that can be achieved by a coating.
