Performance

TTURA has undergone an extensive and independent programme of standards testing at the laboratories of Scientific Group Services Ltd and the Warrington Fire Research Insitute.

Testing has provided data which confirms the suitability of TTURA for a wide range of architectural and building applications.

TTURA met or well exceeded the required levels of performance in each of the standards tests shown below. The material is also resistant to cigarette burns, oils, petrol, diesel, alcohol, urine and dilute acids and alkalis.

  • Fire propagation
    BS 476 (part 6)

  • Surface spread of flame
    BS 476 (part 7)

  • Ignitability test when subject to a direct flame
    prEN ISO 11925 (part 2)

  • Determination of the burning behaviour - Radiant panel floor test
    prEN ISO 9239 (part 1)
