In this latest interview Steve was hopeful to have a UL fire rating on EcoBlu OSB by EOY
That would be huge IMO
I believe that ECOB coated lumber would exceed the typical EXPOSURE 1 rating you see on modern-day chip board by far

Their isn't an off the shelf fire rated OSB on the market that I can find.
Previous testing has proven the fire retardant effectiveness of the coating
I believe hartino makes fire blankets and can fire proof any cloth out of the blue juice….

A UL fire rating would guarantee share price traction - IMO

some quick OSB Facts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

Domestic OSB manufacturers produced 26 million square feet of OSB in year (2006).
When OSB burns it produces methane. Ammonia, Formaldehyde, Methanol and from what quick intell I can find it appears easier to ignite that a typical piece of lumber and burns hotter and produces near twice as much noxious smoke.
