Subject: Monolithic Type Vinyl Surfaced Waliboard
By; 0. E. Burch:dm
AM of you are aware of the great deal of promotion by National Gypsum Company on their seamless vinyl surfaced gypsum waliboard, which they have named "Monolithic Wall".
National Gypsum Company claims a flame spread rating of 20. At the present time, we have no vinyl product with a flame spread rating of 20. Eternawall has a flame spread rating of 30.
Be careful when you are competing against a National Gypsum Company's specification since they manufacture their monolithic vinyl with a flame spread of.20 and also have a regular vinyl product with a flame spread of 35. Many jobs are being sold by National on the basis of having a 20 flame spread rating, but the material supplied is the regular vinyl with the beveled edge which has the higher flame spread.
However, we don't want to become involved in a situation where the specifications require a 20 flame spread rating, since our material will not meet this requirement.
Qur laboratory is presently scheduling tests in an attempt to achieve a lower flame spread rating.
