Fire Retardant I-joists

Flame SafeFire Rated I-Joists

Joists, more commonly known as I-joists, are long parallel beams that can be made from solid dimensional lumber or engineered wood. Wood I-joists were first developed in 1969. Wood I-joists get their name from their cross section that looks like the capital letter I. They are made up of a top and bottom flange separated by a vertical web. The flanges can be made from lumber or engineered wood. The flanges are grooved on one side and the web is usually OSB or in some cases plywood. The webs and flanges are assembled with a water-resistant glue. The I-joist is used for floor and roof joists, wall studs and roof rafters in both residential and commercial construction. The advantage of the I-joist is they will not bow, crown, twist, cup check or split in contrast to a dimensional piece of lumber.

Flame Safe Fire Rated I-Joists Part 2

ASTM D3806

This test method provides the relative flame spread of experimental coatings using small test specimens. By calibrating the 2-foot tunnel with Test Method E84-rated fire retardant coating, results obtained by this test method should be indicative of those obtained with the large specimen in the Test Method E84 tunnel. This test method determines the protection a coating affords its substrate and the comparative burning characteristics of coatings by evaluating the flame spread over the surface when ignited under controlled conditions in a small tunnel. In addition to the experimental flame spread rate, the weight of panel consumed, time of afterflaming and after-glow, char dimesions, index, and height of intumescence may be measured in this test.

ASTM D3806 test method is a 4 minute test, however test specimen shown continued for 16 minutes. Intumecence expansion from 4 mils to 1500 mils (.004" to 1.5")

The Flame Safe Fire Poly™100 high intumescent fire retardant coating swells as a result of heat exposure, converting combustible gases and tars to non-combustible carbon char causing the surface to bubble-up and thereby creating a barrier between the fire and the treated material. The carbon char is a poor conductor of heat, thus protecting the substrate.

Flame Safe fire retardant I-joists with OSB (oriented strand board) web and rim board is particularly suitable for load bearing applications and is Class A fire rated. This is especially important for commercial, industrial or residential applications to assist compliance with the new 2012 I.R.C. section R501.3 exception 4 fire rated assembly code requirements (ASTM E119 Fire Test of Building Materials). Hourly ratings are assigned to only complete assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including walls, floors, ceilings and roofs. It is important to note that hourly ratings have no reference to any single component of a complete assembly.

Flame spread ratings are based on the ASTM E84, ANSI/UL723, NFPA 255: Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (the ASTM E84, UL723 and NFPA 255 are the same), the test measures the rate which the flame spreads over the substrate being tested (test specimen) and the degree of smoke developed. Classification rating are [ASTM E84 CLASS A, UL723, TYPE I] f.s. 0-25 [ASTM E84, CLASS B, UL723 TYPEII] F. S.26 -75 and [ASTM E84, CLASS C, UL723 TYPEIII] F.S. 76-200. The flame spread rating is determined in the first 10 minutes of the test. The ASTM 2768-11 TEST FOR EXTENDED DURATION SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING MATERIALS, This standard uses the apparatus and procedure of test method ASTM E84 with the total test period extended to 30 minutes.

Test conducted at Intertek for Flame Safe fire retardant I-Joists w/ OSB web

ASTM E2768-11 for Extended duration surface burning characteristics of building materials (30 minute).

This method uses the same equipment apparatus, calibration of flame spread index and smoke develop index as test method ASTM E84

Fire Rated I-Joists; Fire Rated OSB sheathing (oriented strand board)

Test I-Joists flame spead 0, smoke developed 80

Test OSB flame spead 0, smoke developed 40

The advantage of Flame Safe I-joists is it's zero flame spread rating.

Careful storage and handling is required to maintain the integrety of the I-joist, thus the I-joists should be protected from rain and accidental soaking. Store flat in an enclosed, dry building.

Oriented strand board (OSB) has a greater load-bearing capacity than milled wood panels. OSB is particularly suited as sheathing on walls, floors, sub-flooring, roof decking and is a versatile, less expensive alternative to plywood. Flame Safe fire retardant OSB sheathing is manufactured from layers of thin wooden strips, arranged in cross-oriented layers, compressed and bonded together with synthetic resin adhesives and wax, and Flame Safe fire retardant coated. The OSB wooden strips are usually from the Poplar and Aspen trees, but can also be from the fast growing and smaller trees. OSB panels have similar properties to plywood, but OSB has no internal gaps or voids, is uniform and less expensive.
