At Koops Insulation, we understand the critical importance of fire safety in building design and construction. Our fireproofing services are specifically designed to enhance the safety and protection of your property, especially when traditional drywall installation is not planned and spray foam insulation remains exposed. With our expert application of fireproofing products like DC315, we help ensure that your building meets all necessary safety standards and regulations.

When to Use Fireproofing
Fireproofing is essential in scenarios where exposed spray foam insulation needs additional fire protection. If drywall is not part of the construction plan and the spray foam insulation will remain visible, it is crucial to apply a fireproofing solution to safeguard your property. Our fireproofing services are tailored to enhance the fire resistance of exposed spray foam, providing a higher level of protection against potential fire hazards.

By choosing our fireproofing services, you ensure that your building meets the stringent safety requirements outlined by the National Building Codes of Canada. This proactive approach not only enhances the safety of the occupants but also helps in protecting the property from fire damage.

What is DC315?
DC315 is a leading-edge, single-component, water-based intumescent coating specifically designed for the fire protection of Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF). As an effective fireproofing solution, DC315 offers superior performance and reliability.

Key Benefits of DC315:
Intumescent Coating: When exposed to heat, DC315 expands and forms a protective char layer that insulates the underlying spray foam insulation from high temperatures, significantly delaying the spread of fire.

Regulatory Compliance: DC315 meets and exceeds the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada. It prevents flashover for up to 10 minutes in Combustible Construction and up to 20 minutes in Non-Combustible Construction, as tested to the CAN/ULC S-145 Standard. This performance exceeds that of CAN/ULC S-124 tested materials and aligns with the intent of NBC Section 3.1.5.12 for the protection of foamed plastics.

Water-Based and Environmentally Friendly: Being water-based, DC315 is environmentally friendly and easy to apply, ensuring a safe and efficient installation process.
