EFS/EFIS was mentioned in a thread awhile ago. it is plastic foam covered with stucco, used to create the exterior walls around the shell.
Vegas had another fire involving EFIS before this. Have to scratch the stucco to get the EFIS exposed. usually there is not an ignition source available, but the stuff is easy enough to ignite. if there was wind to help the fire (sometimes winds blow downwards along a building on the lee side) that would be all it takes. Is not an extremely fast burning fire when the stucco remains intact, because substantial oxygen can not get to the fuel. that is where the wind helps. it is not my building material of choice. Maybe it is a LEEDS substantiated, sustainable product, if you can melt it down and reuse it. But it still is plastic, probably with the transition metals required by most plastic synthesis for a degree of plasticity and ability to form/extrude. scot deal excelsior fire _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
