Fire Precaution: SDP double skinned sheets are produced from molding compounds which are combustible thermoplastics. Precautions used to protect combustibles from flames and high heat sources should also be observed with these materials. SDP sheets usually burn rapidly to completion if not extinguished. The products of combustion, if sufficient air is present, are carbon dioxide and water. However, in many fires, sufficient air will not be available and toxic carbon monoxide will be formed, as it will form other common combustible material. We urge good judgment in the end use of these versatile materials and recommend that building codes be followed carefully to assure they have been used properly. Access panels may be required for evacuation and venting of rooms glazed with SDP sheets. SDP sheets burn more rapidly than their solid counterparts. Noncombustible end caps must be used to prevent flame from contacting the open ends of SDP sheets.
