Fireseal is a Class 0 fire retardant acoustic foam: an impregnated polyurethane foam with a density above 90 kg/m³, rated EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0 and UL94 94-V-0. Manufactured in the UK to ISO 9001. It is used where a foam has to both absorb sound and resist the spread of flame: air conditioning and duct systems, generator rooms, engine bay compartments, oil rigs, MOD vehicles, prison mattresses, marine and automotive applications, and recording studios. Is Class 0 the right rating for what you are doing? This is the question worth getting right, because Class 0 and Crib 5 are routinely confused and they are not interchangeable. Standard What it tests When you need it Class 0 Surface spread of flame and fire propagation on a building surface, under UK Building Regulations. Assessed via BS 476 Parts 6 and 7. Wall and ceiling linings, ductwork, HVAC, plant and generator rooms, acoustic treatment within a building. Crib 5 Ignition resistance of furniture, under BS 5852 Ignition Source 5 (a small wooden crib). Contract and commercial seating — sofas, chairs, mattresses, upholstered furniture. In short: lining a room, sealing a duct or treating a plant room — Class 0 is what you want, and this is the product. Re-covering a sofa or chair — Class 0 is not the relevant standard, and you want a Crib 5 upholstery foam from our main range instead.
