Cover it.
By code, spray foam has to be covered by an approved thermal barrier. Drywall, plywood, OSB — or a CCMC-approved spray.
Fire barriers for spray foam.
Canadian code requires foam to be covered with an approved thermal barrier. There is no fireproof foam.

No fireproof foam.
In Canada there is no such thing as fireproof foam. The foam is the insulation. The barrier is a second product.

DC315.
Intumescent coating. CCMC evaluation as an equal-to-gypsum alternative fire protection for SPF in Canada.

Cementitious.
Monokote Z-3306 and ADFire 7-TB — spray-applied CCMC-approved cementitious barriers made for foam.
The sprays.
We apply the barrier the project actually needs. Specs first.

DC315
An intumescent coating. Working with the Canadian Construction Materials Centre and the National Research Council, DC315 has a CCMC evaluation report validating it as an equal to gypsum board for fire protection of SPF in Canada.

Monokote Z-3306
A spray-applied CCMC-approved cementitious thermal barrier formulated for application over spray foam insulation — used when the spec calls for it instead of board.

ADFire 7-TB
The other cementitious option we run. Same job: an approved thermal barrier over foam when drywall, plywood or OSB is not the right cover.
