EcoCocon Achieves REI 45 Fire Resistance Classification

EcoCocon panels have achieved REI 45 fire resistance, proving the natural fire safety of bio-based materials with minimal additional layers. Tested at 250mm thickness, the panels withstood 50 minutes of open flame, and our standard 300-400mm panels are expected to perform even better. For higher protection, the full EcoCocon wall system has been classified REI 120, offering 120 minutes of fire resistance. This milestone underscores our commitment to safe, sustainable, and high-performing construction solutions.
