Not all rubber foam products are created equal. In critical applications, the difference between Class 0 and Class 1 materials could mean enhanced safety, optimized costs, or even regulatory approval. Backed by FM, UL, CE, and CCS certifications, our solutions empower you to make the right choice.

Class 0 – The Gold Standard for Extreme Safety

Designed for environments where failure isn’t an option, Class 0 materials excel in:

- Ultra-low smoke emission during combustion

- Near-zero toxic gas release

- Superior flame spread resistance

Applications: Subways, offshore platforms, nuclear facilities, and high-density public spaces.

Class 1 – Reliable Performance for Everyday Demands

A balanced choice for projects requiring certified quality without excessive specs:

- Compliant flammability ratings

- Cost efficiency for large-scale installations

- Versatility across general industrial settings

Applications: Commercial HVAC systems, automotive components, and non-critical infrastructure.

Why Certifications Matter

Our quadruple certifications (FM/UL/CE/CCS) ensure:

- Smooth cross-border procurement

- Reduced liability risks

- Alignment with ISO and IMO standards

Whether you prioritize extreme safety (Class 0) or value-driven compliance (Class 1), our team provides tailored guidance to meet your technical and budgetary needs.
