The composition of the finished materials is of a proprietary nature. Data on the composition is on file at the Laboratories for use in the Follow-Up Service Program. various physical and chemical tests were conducted on the components and finished products. The results developed from these tests were employed in establishing specifications for use in the factory Follow-Up Service Program. SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS: SAMPLES The samples consisted of a vinyl wall covering identified as “type II-J" which was applied to inorganic reinforced cement board with Koroseal "A-848-B" adhesive at an application rate of 150 £t?/gal. Each test sample consisted of three 8 by 2 ft wide sections of the wall covering adhered to inorganic reinforced cement board, butted end-to-end to form the required 24 ft long surface. For each test a piece of 1 ft long by 22 in. wide by 1/16 in, thick uncoated steel plate was placed at the fire end of the tunnel furnace “upstream” from the gas burners to complete the 25 ft chamber length. The test samples were allowed to condition at a temperature of 73 + 4°F and a relative humidity of 50 + 5 percent prior to testing. METHOD The tests were conducted in accordance with the Standard of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, UL 723 and the Standard Method of Test For Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials and Assemblies, CAN/ULC-S102M.
