Just Biofiber has successfully completed the CAN/ULC S135 testing.
The hemp lime insulation material identified in this report, when tested at an approximate thickness 55 mm, meets the Total Heat Release requirement outlined in article 3.1.5.1 of the National Building Code. The material affords a Total Heat Release of 1.0 MJ/m2 and a Total Smoke Extinction Area average of 0.2 m2, when tested according to CAN/ULC-S135 at an imposed heat flux of 50 kW/m2.

Just BioFiber Structural Solutions is conducting testing for use as a firewall. The standard used for fire-resistant ratings is CAN/ULC-S101, Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials. This standard is critical for fire-resistance rating acceptance, as it is required by the National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The test consists of constructing a wall assembly 3 meters by 4 meters (91 blocks) then subjecting the entire wall surface to a furnace temperature of 1600 F / 900 C for 1 hour then 1900 F / 1000 C for up to 4 hours. Then the wall is subjected to a fire hose stream of water. We anticipate the results May 22, 2015
