This session will highlight how to specify advanced PVC products that enhance fire resistance in both residential and commercial settings.
Join us to learn about the principles of ignition resistance and non-combustibility along with the significance of flame spread ratings in material selection. Plus, examine how wildland-urban interface compliance influences design decisions in fire-prone areas and review the ASTM E84 test to assess the performance of PVC-engineered polymers.
You'll leave with practical strategies for integrating these fire-resistant materials to improve building resilience and minimize the potential for structural damage.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the different types of fire resistance, with an emphasis on how advanced PVC products may help mitigate fire hazards in built environments.
- Learn how to interpret flame spread ratings and identify materials with a Class A, B, or C flame spread index, including the role of advanced PVC in reducing fire risks and protecting occupants.
