- California TB 117 test; formulations used to produce density foam, surfactant type, and FR package variable; California Technical Bulletin 117 (Draft 2/2002); California Technical Bulletin 117 (March 2000); comparsion of old and new CAL TB 117 open flame resistance test - summary of some key parameters; MVSS 302; British Standard 5852; porosity and density range of the six formulations. Every formulation with four surfactants and five FR-levels; minimum FR-level to pass the open flame test (no smoldering); burning results with different surfactants
