Protectapeel GlassDefend has achieved Class 1, while RainDefend has achieved Class 2 when tested to this standard.<\/p>\n<p>This testing provides specifiers, contractors and project teams with documented information about the surface flame-spread performance of the coating.<\/p>\n<p>Fire classifications apply to the product under the specific conditions in which it was tested and do not mean that the underlying substrate or complete building system becomes fire-rated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9
