Flame Guard does not foam. It suffocates the substrate from the flame — therefore, if there is no oxygen for the flame, there is no fire. It should be used on interior surfaces wherever you wish to “slow” the potential spread of flame.

Testing data employed for measuring the flame spread rate was: ASTM D 3806-79 that corresponds with ASTM E-84. It assumes Class "A"” specification when used as directed.
