Notes:

* Shading Co-efficient: The ratio of solar heat gain through Carbolite sheet to the solar heat gain of clear glass in a specific set of conditions.

** Solar Heat Gain: The amount of heat in W/m2 transmitted through the Carbolite sheets. Results are determined by the incidence of solar radiation.

*** U-Factor: The rate of heat transferred through the Carbolite sheet in W/m2  °C. The overall heat transfer co-efficient.

Fire Ratings: AS1530.3 1999

Carbolite sheets have been tested in accordance with Australian Standard 1530.3/1999. The test standard is for the early fire hazard properties of materials and covers four categories.

1. Ignitability
Test Index 0-10
2. Spread of Flame
Test Index 0-10
3. Heat Involved
Test Index 0-10
Smoke Developed
Test Index 0-10
Carbolite RESULTS 0 0 0 2
