To reply to this and the half dozen private messages. Eco has been the specific catalyst for the ban, or whatever you want to call it. There is no posting to search on this...everything is not on the Internet for the novice to stumble into. This is based on the problems now facing projects in Denver that had planned on using intumescent coatings on LVL, which is a somewhat common practice. Now they are being told that all coatings are not being accepted as a fire retardant solution, because Eco has completely muddied the water with a coating that is completely non-code compliant and floating on a number of suspended and dubious credentials (see previous posts). Everything in the building code community is not put out there in terms for the layman and web-searcher to find. Contact the building inspector side of the Denver FD and tell them about your plans to use Eco for fire retardant and enjoy the warm welcome you receive.
Or better yet, build a building where a fire retardant is required, since you are so confident, and then try to pass your framing inspection.
As the truth about the bogus credentials continues to propagate, you will here more of this. A NJ sanity check on the AHJ side is forthcoming. A third party termite test in Hawaii is about to begin. Just remember, you heard it here first! You are on the cutting edge!
