EcoCocon Achieves REI 45 Fire Resistance Classification
We’re thrilled to share an important milestone for EcoCocon panels! In recent fire safety tests, our panels achieved a REI 45 classification. This was accomplished with just an airtight membrane on the external face and no additional layers, proving the inherent fire resistance of our bio-based materials.
The tests were conducted on 250mm thick panels, which withstood 50 minutes of open flame, meeting the REI 45 standard. However, our standard panels, which are 300mm-400mm thick, are expected to achieve even higher fire resistance under similar conditions.
For projects requiring even greater protection, the entire EcoCocon wall system has been classified as REI 120, offering 120 minutes of fire resistance. These results reaffirm our commitment to creating safe, sustainable, and high-performing construction solutions.
Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of natural building materials!
