    Marine Fire Rating Compliances
    The following information only applies when MIROTHANE PU 5545 Clear Sealer and MIROTHANE PU 5555 Clear Topcoat are mixed with MIROTHANE PU 5747 Hardener.

    Fire testing procedures and ratings for interior marine surface finishes are set by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 as amended. The SOLAS convention was established in 1914 in response to the earlier "Titanic" disaster, and is adminstered by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime organisation (a United Nations Agency).

    The SOLAS convention (Chapter 11-12) makes the provisions of the International Code for Application of Fire Test Procedures (FTP Code) mandatory.

    The MIROTHANE clear coating system above has been tested by VTEC Laboratories Inc. of New York (Test report no. VTEC #100-1807 2 dated 8/2003) and complies with the requirements of:

    IMO MSC 41(64) FTP Code

    Part 2 (smoke generation and toxicity test)

    Part 5 (test for surface flammability)

    IMO A 653 (16) Flame Spread

    Note: These results are for the coating system only and do not apply to the substrate.

    Fire Rating Compliance
    (AS/NZS 1530.3:1999 Clause 4.4.3 "Simultaneous determination of Ignitability, Flame Propagation, Heat release and Smoke release".

    The following information only applies when MIROTHANE PU 5545 Clear Sealer and MIROTHANE PU 5555 Clear Topcoat are mixed with MIROTHANE PU 5747 Hardener.

    The system above has been tested by an accredited third party testing authority over a Group 4 substrate as specified by Clause 4.4.3 of the Australian Standard. Simultaneous determination of Ignitability, Flame Propagation, Heat release and Smoke release.

    Results
    Ignitability Index (0-20)
    The higher the figure, the quicker the sample ignites i.e. the more flammable.
    14

    Spread of Flame Index (0-10)
    The higher the figure, the faster the flame spreads.

    0

    Heat Evolved Index (0-10)
    The higher the figure, the more heat developed.

    0

    Smoke Developed Index (0-10)
    The higher the figure, the denser the smoke produced.
