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.
