• FBL-100 has been tested as per NZBC C/AS2 -C/AS6 Appendix C, for interior use only, as part of a providing a 'Fire Resistance Rating' (FRR) of up to 60/60/60 on either:
  • Timber (or better) framed walls exposed to fire from either or both sides (two-way FRR), or exposed to fire from the coated side (one way FRR)
  • Timber framed (or better) floor/ceiling systems exposed to fire from below in residential, commercial or industrial buildings on 13mm Standard Plasterboard
• FBL-100 has been tested as per NZBC C/VM2 Appendix A and can be used to prevent spread of fire on interior wall or ceiling substrates. It achieves Group 2-S on Type 1 (most reactive) as per C/VM2 A1.6, Table A2
• FBL-100 can be applied over existing pre-painted surfaces
• FBL-100 can be applied on new or existing substrates, subject to fixing pattern (refer to TCNZ for further instruction)
• FBL-100 can be applied to structural timber works and can also be used to protect internal load bearing wood from fire, therefore reducing cross-sectional area requirements, or omitting the use of encapsulating board
• For the purpose of defining the 'Level of finish' for pre-application of FBL-100
  • The surface that is to be coated must be finished to minimum Level 4, (AS/NZS 2589)
• For the purpose of defining the 'Level of Finish' for post-application of FBL-100
  • Once FBL-100 has been applied, it achieves an indicative Level 4 for walls and ceilings, although the finish level will be as per the sample provided by the 'TCNZ Certified Applicator'
• FBL-100 has been tested to be used on building materials and building practices used in projects designed and built on and after 1995
• For the purpose of defining the classification of 'Interior Environments' that FBL-100 may be used in, is as per AS/NZS 2311.1 — Section 2, Table 2.1:
  • FBL-100 may be used in Category C1 (Very Low) and C2 (Low) environments

• Timber (or better) framed walls exposed to fire from either or both sides (two-way FRR), or exposed to fire from the coated side (one way FRR)
• Timber framed (or better) floor/ceiling systems exposed to fire from below in residential, commercial or industrial buildings on 13mm Standard Plasterboard
