UtMUnsoa CAFCO Testa

Moat of our laboratory testa resulting la ResesroOallstina stre on BLAZE-SHXXX2 avclk ss defleetico characteristic corroiloa raijttnoi, etc. You requested that ws
provide test rasults for HEAT-SHIES). Since at have oo snob test reports, at cade arraaganeots with tba International Teating Laboratories to conduct a aorlas of tail
^lcb aa fait would bo applicable* Slaoo sort of tho coat of tbo tart Is la art-op aaj art la testing, it was posslblo to tost different products at awy little ortra
eort Therefore, tarts atra conducted oo CAFCO BLA2X-, HEAT* tad SOCSD-SHICD, sod Li*petT*25.
Plaasa find the original tart raperts ablob 700 say assign C-nuaber* and have tba repartr duplicated for distribution. Tba report aa tba ccupetitivw Linpet Is not lneludad because tfcara wee an arror la raportlac tbalr density, and tbarafora tba raport Is being revised.
All produota vara appllad using naraal application aathods and danaltlar *lch ara as reccaaended. They vara CAFCO SLAZE-SHIX - 11.2 Ike./cubic foot, BEAT-3HXSIZ> - 9.85, SOTO-SHIEID - 17.9, and Llspet apprexinately 9 Ibs./cubid foot.
Ia tha Kolstnra Absorption Test, spaclatnr war* aalstained in a huaidity cfaanbar at 95* relative huaidity and UF. for 96 boors. Tbls Is an artreoely sarara tart rad Is as specified la Coaaarelal Standards CS131-46. Tba marlmao gala aar for ftCOJC-SHIEID
ablcb aar 3*02% by weight. This fairly .insignificant when considering rood ncraally baa a noiature content of around ft - 10*. This tart result has nothing to do with cotw densation, where under tba propar coeditloos, tba aright can aora than doebla dua to pick up of water.
Tba Cerrorioa Haslstanca Tartr aara also conducted according to Ceooarolal Standards CS131-46 and art a duplication of tba tart aa raportad in Raraareh Bulletin CR418, except that only cold rollad staal aar nsad* These tpeeiaene aara also aalntalnad at 9Si relative bualdlty at 120^T. for 96 boars rad tba staal protaetad with fibers can not show greater corrosion than tba uigjroteeted staal. As Indlcatad In tbalr raport, tba uz^rotected staal board heavy spots of corrosion throughout, whila tba ataal protaetad with CAFCO sbeaad no noticeable corrosive affaet, and tbay tbarafera conclude It actually protacta tba ratal froa aarlous eerroatra aetlon. Tbls coccurs with tba rasults fria tba Araoolatad Tasting Laboratories Corrosion Tarts conducted In 1959*
A nuabar of daflaetloa tarts wsre raportad In oar Raraareh Bulletin CR372* Tbls saas typs of tart was not run basausa it would ba excessive in costs, and although It say bs wary practical It Is not conducted on as eelantlfle s basis as tba laboratory would Ilka, and tbarafora only si^le deflection tests wars rta. CAFCO 1* tbiok was appllad 4* wlda z 22* long to steal plates A* z 24* z 10 ga. and ware deflected by applying a eoooestrated load In the center until failure occurred. These results are aztreaely good alnoe even tba poorest HEAT-SHIEZ2) required 2.5* of deflection par 22* of spaa or 1/11*4 of tba span. It say ba a little difficult to apply these results to what sight happen at a satal building. Howawar, it does point out that CAFCO, if properly applied.
