membranes are non toxic, odorless, rot-resistant, non allergenic and antibacterial. The membranes qualify you for LEED® points in environmentally friendly buildings projects (ASTM G21-96 test).
CCMC CERTIFICATION (CCMC # 13092-R)
Since 2002, most of Acousti-Tech membranes are certified by the Canadian Construction Materials
Center (CCMC). Membranes must be re-evaluated every three years to keep its certification. CCMC is an independant organization part of the National Research Council’s Institute that evaluates construction materials.
CCMC evaluates construction products with respect to their suitability for intended use and conformity to applicable codes and recognized standards: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), NBC (National Building Code).
Those products must meet severe requirements regarding:
- Health (toxicity)
- Safety
- Compliance with the National Building Code of Canada
- National Fire Code of Canada
Product or project specifiers consult the CCMC evaluation report for accurate and truthful expertise to determine the acceptability of a product: CCMC certification confirms the accuracy of Finitec Canada literature.
