Dromolic Fire Tests

fn a recent dramatic demonstration of Universal-Rundle Corp.'s fire retardant process, Double FRP, two cups of low lead gasoline were poured into the U/R tub, ignited, burned, self-extinguished and died out completely in less than two minutes.

Three tests were conducted on U/R's FRP model #6900, the New MeteorTM. (see photo).

The first two attempts aimed a 1600o torch at two outside sections of the tub, one with a gypsum board exterior layer and theotherwith fiberglass plus resins. The torch was held on one spot for two 30-second and one five-minute stretch. The surfaces did not ignite.

In the third test, two cups of gasoline were poured into the U/R tub and ignited. The gasoline burned for about two minutes, and the tub, though scorched, did not burn. The flame with low-density smoke, self-extinguished and died.

Building and safety codes in many states have been changed to permit the installation of U /R FRP fiberglass as a result of such demonstrations.
