- Abstract
- This bulletin describes the principal building construction areas in which cellular plastics are currently being used. Specific fire hazards associated with each class of application are identified. A discussion of the appropriate fire test procedures for evaluating these hazards and suggested test limits associated with the safe use of plastic foams are presented. Recommendations are included for selecting the most suitable cellular plastic and best application procedures and environment to ensure maximum fire safety.
