Yes Greg I would first get the MSDS.Also find out what codes are in your client's jurisdiction. If it is the IFC there is a flammable and combustible chapter which will reference maximum quantities based on control areas. That can be found in the Hazardous material chapter. I hope this helps.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jimco Fire Protection Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 8:48 AM To: Sprinkler Forum Subject: Polyol Storage We have a client who wants to protect their wood frame pole barn. The building is a storage facility for liquid Polyol (used with isocyanate to create polyurethane). The Polyol is stored in 55 gallon metal drums and is also stored in 275 gallon plastic totes that are in 4' square metal wire baskets. The plastic totes are made from polyethylene approximately 1/8" thick. From what I've been told, the Polyol itself is non-combustible and doesn't pose much of a hazard. Based on this, I was thinking it should be a class 2 commodity (non-combustible liquids in plastic containers larger than 5 gallons with a wall thickness less than 1/4"). Does anyone else have more information on this product, or a different idea of what the commodity class should be? Greg Dittenber Jimco Fire Protection, Inc.
