The flame spread and smoke generation characteristics of TempRite CPVC materials have been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (ULI), Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), and Factory Mutual (FM) employing a number of recognized test methods. ULI evaluated TempRite CPVC for flammability in accordance with UL 94, which is used for determining the flammability of plastic materials used in the components and parts of finished products. This test measures a material's resistance to burning, dripping, glow emission and burn through. CPVC has achieved the highest rating available within the scope of this test of V0, 5VB and 5VA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg McGahan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 1:31 PM Subject: RE: Rating of the sprinkler escutcheon When I called Lubrizol they indicated that the cpvc should be considered non-combustible UNLESS I totally misunderstood them (very possible this week).
