These products are designed to offer life-saving fire protection, energy conservation, and noise control, while also being environmentally friendly with high recycled content.

Specifications: FireSpan 40 and 90 are noncombustible, moisture-resistant, and mold-resistant. They provide thermal insulation, fire protection, acoustical, and vapor control in various fire containment assemblies with ratings of 1, 2, and 3 hours. The products meet several ASTM standards, including ASTM C 665, ASTM C 612, ASTM E 136, ASTM E 96, and ASTM C 1104.
