Testing by Underwriters Laboratories INC. Our Chemical Ceramic not only doesn't burn, its also a thermal barrier that protects combustable materials such as insulation, wood, and steel from ignition, melting, and/or heat distortion. Used in this capacity coating thickness will vary depending on the amount of time needed. |

May 24,2001 Chemical Ceramics Corp. Mr. Vance Stayner 619 Stayner Rd. Sugar Grove. IL 60554 Our Reference: R20640/01NK21169 Dear Mr Stayner: This is a Report summarizing the results of a Special Services investigation for testing of your thermal barrier. GENERAL: The sole purpose of this investigation was to develop thermal barrier data on the above product. No conclusions were to be made from the data obtained. The information obtained by this investigation is to be submitted only to the Evaluation Services affiliated with each of the three model code organizations (ICBO, SBCCI and BOCA). SAMPLES; The test substrate consisted ofcalcuim silicate boards fastened to a nominal 2 by 4 in. wood stud system using drywall screws. The sample consisted of 7/16 in. thick orientated strand board with 10 mil fiberglass mat and Chemical Ceramic #00016 coating at an application rate of 155 g/ft2 on each side. A field joint was incorporated into the sample and was located 12 inches from the east edge. The joint was filled with Chemical Ceramic coating #02116 and covered on both sides with 6 in. wide 10 mil fiberglass mat and the #00016 coating at an application rate of 155 g/ft2. The nominal 3 ft. by 3 ft. sample was attached to the calcium silicate board with drywall screws on the perimeter. The samples utilized in this investigation were neither prepared nor selected by a Laboratories' representative such that no verification of composition can be provided. THERMAL BARRIER EVALUATION; METHOD The test was conducted in accordance with Uniform Building Code Standard 26-2 "Test Method for the Evaluation of Thermal Barriers" utilizing the small-scale horizontal furnace. May 24, 2001 Page 2 ChemC.doc TEST PROCEDURE Thermocouple locations were as shown in ILL. 1. The furnace temperature followed the standard time-temperature curve. The furnace temperatures are charted in ILL. 2.
RESULTS A plot of the average temperature of all the thermocouples is shown in ILL. 3. The maximum average temperature was 219.9 °F. The maximum for any one thermocouple was 233.9 °F and was recorded for thermocouple #4. A complete temperature profile is shown in Appendix A.

Information conveyed by this Report applies only to the specimens actually involved in this test. UL has not established a factory Follow-Up Service Program to determine the conformance of subsequently produced material nor has any provision been established to apply any registered mark ofUL to such material. The Classification Marking of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. on the products is the only method provided by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to identify products that have been produced under its Classification and Follow-Up Service Program. The issuance of this Report in no way implies Listing, Classification or Recognition by UL and does not authorize the use ofUL Listing, Classification or Recognition Marks or other reference to UL on or in connection with the product or system. Since the anticipated work has been completed, we have instructed our Accounting Department to terminate the investigation and invoice you for the charges incurred to date.
