King Earns ASTM E 84 Class A or B Fire Rating
King Plastic Corporation announced that many of its most
popular polymer sheet products are now available with an
E 84 Class A or B fire rating.
The standard applies to the King StarBoard® product family,
used in a broad range of products from marine components
to outdoor kitchens to healthcare furnishings; King
ColorCore® and King ColorBoard®, frequently used for signage
and playground equipment; and King PlastiBal®, the
company’s restroom partition sheet.
“Since 1968 we have been relentlessly innovating our
products,” said King Plastic president Jeff King. “While we
have run FR material over the years we were never fully
satisfied with final product. The products were either too
heavy, had poor physical properties or were too expensive
or sometimes all three. But we have now developed a FR
formula that improves drastically on these issues and is
finally something we are proud to offer across many of our
product lines.”
According to ASTM International’s published standards,
“this fire-test-response standard for the comparative surface
burning behavior of building materials is applicable
to exposed surfaces such as walls and ceilings. The test is
conducted with the specimen in the ceiling position with
the surface to be evaluated exposed face down to the ignition
source.
