GreenScreen® List Translator Scores
- List Translator Likely Benchmark 1 / Benchmark 1An LT-1 chemical score is based on lists that identify it as a Chemical of High Concern.
- List Translator Possible Benchmark 1An LT-P1 chemical score translates to Possible BM1 and reflects the presence of the chemical on Screening A or B lists and some uncertainty about the classification for key endpoints. Further research is needed on the flagged endpoint to determine if the chemical is indeed a GreenScreen Benchmark 1.
- List Translator Benchmark UnknownAn LT-U chemical score indicates that there is insufficient information to apply the GreenScreen Benchmark Scoring algorithm to the chemical. That can be a good sign. Typically, only hazardous chemicals are found on hazard lists. However, lack of presence on hazard lists can also mean that the chemical has not been well tested. A full GreenScreen assessment will need to be performed to determine if a chemical is a Benchmark 2, 3 or 4.
- Benchmark 2Prefer-safer chemical.
- Benchmark 3Prefer-safer chemical.
- Benchmark 4Prefer-safer chemical.
- No GS data availableNo data available on List Translator lists.

Evaluation Programs
Declare
Declare labels are issued to products disclosing ingredient inventory, sourcing and end of life options. Declare labels are based on the Manufacturers Guide to Declare, administered by the International Living Future Institute.
How it works
Material ingredients are inventoried and screened against the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List which represents the ‘worst in class’ materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem.
The Health Product Declaration®
The HPD Open Standard provides a consistent, and transparent format to accurately disclose the material contents and associated hazard classifications for a building product.
How it works
Material ingredients are screened and categorized according to the hazards that international governmental bodies and toxicology experts have associated with them, based on two listings:
- Authoritative lists maintained or recognized by government bodies
- Screening lists, which include chemicals that government bodies determined need further scrutiny, as well as chemical lists not recognized by any government body.
What's in this product and why
Declare level
The Declare™ program holds manufacturers accountable for their ingredients used in their products and allows the specifiers, architects and others the ability to better understand the products' environmental and sustainable qualities through transparency. Isolatek International takes pride in the fact that all of our Applied Fireproofing products are labeled as Declare Red List Free.
What's in the product and why
The ingredients used to manufacture Isolatek International's CAFCO FENDOLITE M-II products, provide the most effective fire resistance properties of any competing Applied Fireproofing product.
The in-place products have superior thermal efficiencies, resulting in lower thicknesses to meet specified design criteria providing efficiencies in material and labor.
Our products' primary components is Portland cement binder, which is obtained and processed from common natural materials, such as limestone and clay. The trade off with the cement-based products compared to the naturally occurring gypsum counterparts is their functional ability to better withstand the exterior elements or other abuses during the construction and life cycle of the structures in which they are installed. The primary component binder type has widespread availability which is sourced locally near our various production facilities.
What's been done in the design and manufacture in consideration of the potential human health and environmental impacts in the use stage
CAFCO FENDOLITE Series products are packaged in recyclable kraft paper bags and shipped on wood pallets that can be reused or recycled.
CAFCO FENDOLITE Series products are designed to provide required fire resistance ratings on structural steel members and designed to last the lifetime of a building when applied in accordance with the specified design criteria, Isolatek's written Application Instructions, properly maintained after application and not damaged or altered in any way after installation.
Where it goes at the end of its life
Isolatek International's Applied Fireproofing products are designed to provide the required fire resistance ratings on the structural steel members to last the lifetime of the building when applied in accordance with the specified design criteria, our written Application Instructions and are not damaged or altered in any way after their installation.
Although Isolatek's Applied Fireproofing products are designed to last the lifetime of the building, the end life of the product is generally the result of a rehabilitation, which may require removal and replacement of the Applied Fireproofing materials. The removal depends upon the degree of the rehabilitation. Otherwise, the end life of the material is based on the end life of the structure in its entirety. The material is then processed along with the remainder of the structure, primarily as landfill material.
How we're making it healthier
- Isolatek International is committed to legal compliance and ethical business practices in all of our operations.
- Isolatek's Vendors must act in accordance with the applicable statutory and international standards regarding environmental protection.
- Isolatek's Vendors must minimize environmental pollution and make continuous improvements in environmental protection.
- Isolatek's Vendors must set up or use a reasonable environmental management system.
- In Isolatek's purchase arrangements, Vendors must observe all applicable laws of their country and international standards, including but not limited to laws and standards relating to the environment, as well as health and safety.
