Product Description

The Tyfo® AFP (Advanced Fire Protection) system is applied in combination with the Tyfo® Fiberwrap® System or the Tyfo® Epoxy System. This system has a 4 Hour UL fire rating. It is a two-part system. The first is Tyfo® VG Basecoat, applied 0.255 lb./sp ft. (approximately 1/32" ) thick by trowel, roller, or spray. The second is Tyfo® EI-RCoat, a thin coating applied by brush, roller, or spray in coats 3 to 0.04 lb./sq. ft. per coat.

Product Performance Testing

The System provides insulation against fire and increase a 4-hour wall, and beam rating as per ASTM E-119 testing at Warnock Hersey in Pittsburgh, California. Underwriter's Laboratories Inc. provides UL certification labels to the products and follow-up service.

The System results in Class 1 flame and smoke rating as per ASTM E-84 testing at Underwriters Laboratories in Santa Clara, California.

Test report ASTM E-119, dated March 31, 1995 by Warnock Hersey entitled, "Reports on the Fire Endurance and Hose Stream Tests of Three 48" high by 56" wide Non-symmetrical Walls."
