MYTH: All intumescent coatings provide the same level of protection.

FACT: Fire protection products are tested for specific assemblies, substrates and performance requirements.

A coating that has been evaluated for one application may not be suitable for another - that's why reviewing evaluation reports, fire test data and manufacturer application requirements is an important part of selecting the right passive fire protection system.

Fire protection is built on tested performance—not assumptions.

FAQ: What's the difference between a thermal barrier and an ignition barrier?

It's a common question, and the two terms are often used interchangeably—but they aren't the same thing.

A thermal barrier is designed to slow the transfer of heat during a fire, helping protect the material behind it for a longer period.

An ignition barrier provides a lower level of protection and is only permitted in certain applications defined by the building code, such as some attics and crawl spaces.

Knowing the difference helps ensure you're specifying the right system for the right application, which can save time, avoid inspection issues and keep your project moving.

A fire rating is more than just a number on your material specification sheet.

Fire ratings are the product of thorough material testing under standardized fire conditions. The performance of your building project depends on every component working together as it was tested—including the materials, installation methods and thicknesses specified in the approved system.

Understanding fire-rated assemblies helps project teams make informed decisions that contribute to safer, code-compliant buildings.

A successful inspection starts long before the inspector arrives.

Keeping evaluation reports, wet film thickness records, application documentation and safety data sheets organized helps demonstrate that the installed system follows the approved assembly.

Good documentation supports smoother inspections and more confidence in the project from start to finish.

If you've worked with one intumescent coating, it can be tempting to think they're all pretty much the same.

They're not.

Different products are tested for different applications, substrates and performance requirements. That's why selecting the right coating is about more than simply choosing an intumescent product—it's about choosing one that's been evaluated for the specific application you're working on.

DC315 has earned the confidence of contractors because of its extensive testing, straightforward application and proven performance.

Those details matter when you're trying to keep a project moving.

A lot of the most important fire protection in a building is never seen - It's behind walls, above ceilings and built into the structure itself.

Passive fire protection, such as intumescent coatings, works quietly every day by helping contain fire and smoke, protecting structural elements and giving occupants more time to evacuate if the unexpected happens.

It's easy to overlook because it doesn't make noise or activate during normal operation. But when it's needed, it plays one of the most important roles in the entire building: Protecting the people who live and work there every day.

Spray polyurethane foam offers impressive insulation and air sealing, but protecting that foam is just as important.

That's where DC315 comes in.

DC315 is designed for approved applications over spray polyurethane foam, helping contractors meet ignition barrier and thermal barrier requirements where applicable. It's been extensively tested and trusted on projects across North America.

When you're specifying materials, choosing a product with a proven track record can help make inspections and installations go much more smoothly.

When people think about fire protection, they usually think about sprinklers, alarms or fire extinguishers.

Those are all examples of active fire protection because they respond after a fire starts.

Passive fire protection is different. It's built into the structure itself. Fire-rated walls, intumescent coatings and firestop systems are all designed to help slow the spread of fire and smoke without anyone needing to activate them.

The reality is, neither system replaces the other. Active and passive fire protection work together to help protect people, property and the integrity of the building.

Understanding the difference is the first step toward building safer spaces.

Include a code compliance package with every bid.

Providing documents like the evaluation report, application guide, SDS, work records and other supporting materials demonstrates professionalism and a strong understanding of code requirements before the job even begins.

A complete code submission package helps build confidence with architects, building owners and code officials, while reducing delays, avoiding unnecessary call-backs and supporting a smoother path to project completion and payment.
