About 150 water-based liquid coatings sprayable by conventional airless paint-spraying equipment were applied to two-inch-thick sprayed mineral wool test matrices mounted overhead. After curing, specimens of the encapsulated test matrix were tested for fire resistance, flame spreading index, smoke, and toxic-gas release. Cohesive and adhesive strengths were measured as well as impact resistance. Thirteen materials met all of the criteria established for satisfactory performance and twenty-one others met most of the criteria.
