Materials with good reaction to fire properties achieving classes A1, A2 or B would not be expected to flashover. Rockwool stone wool is classified as A1, the safest of the seven Euroclasses. Non-combustible in nature, Rockwool can withstand temperatures in excess of 1000°C without melting, will only produce insignificant quantities of smoke and no burning droplets.
