What is a Class A Flame Retardant?

Why is it important?

Not everyone has experienced a fire in their lives. Anyone who knows the value of a good fire protection plan. If you live in a wildfire-prone area, or if you live in the immediate vicinity of other homes or units, it is advisable to protect your home from the spread of fire.

Every year, fires cause thousands of deaths, tens of thousands of injuries and billions of dollars in damage. The use of strict building codes is one way to reduce these losses. Local building codes usually require the use of flame-retardant materials. These materials are classified according to their effect on flame spread.

Knowing how building materials ignite is an important first step in achieving effective protection. Choosing a higher fire resistant material may be a barrier to protecting your home from fire.

Fire classification

Different classifications have different degrees of flammability and smoke. Understanding the fire resistance assessment of materials can provide you with the knowledge you need to make effective choices.

What is a Class A Flame Retardant?

Now that we've talked about fire resistance, we can apply what we've learned to flame retardants. Flame retardants have a flame spread rating of 0 to 25, just as Class A materials have a flame spread rating of 0 to 25. The same applies to all five fire protection classes.

If the grade of paint or other coating is higher than the grade of the material being coated, it increases the flame propagation grade of the material.
