Direct Answer: The DEK‑TRON FRP1360 Fire Retardancy of Paints Tester determines the resistance of paints and coatings to flame exposure using the ASTM D1360 cabinet test method.

What is the FRP1360 Fire Retardancy of Paints Tester?

The DEK‑TRON FRP1360, also known as the Fire Test for Paints or Fire Retardancy of Paints Cabinet Tester, is designed to measure the flammability and fire retardant properties of paint and coating samples in a controlled environment.

How does it work?

The test is conducted in a glass and metal cabinet built to the dimensional requirements specified in ASTM D1360. A paint or coating specimen is exposed to a test flame inside the cabinet to observe ignition, flame spread, and self-extinguishing characteristics. The unit is delivered fully assembled and ready for use.
