September 30, 2005—International Barrier Technology Inc., a manufacturer of proprietary fire resistant building materials, has received the International Code Congress Evaluation Services Report (ICC-ESR) for its Pyrotite-based Blazeguard products, the company says.
The evaluation services report enables Barrier to market its products throughout the US and other parts of the world where the newly adopted International Building Code (IBC) is being used to dictate building specifications.
Prior to the release of the ICC-ESR for Blazeguard, Barrier was restricted in its ability to market the product in the Western US where the Uniform Building Code had been the required standard, the company said.
The new report replaces the former BOCA and SBCCI reports that were used to sanction Blazeguard’s use in the former Standard and National Building Code geographies. Barrier anticipates increased sales at a time when capacity is being tripled in the plant with the start-up of a new, highly automated production line.
ICC-ES is a nonprofit, public-benefit corporation that does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials.
International Barrier Technology, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary fire resistant building materials. Its patented, non-combustible, non-toxic Pyrotite formulation releases water when exposed to the heat of fire. For more information, visit the Web site.
