The lack of a big database of well-researched materials (and reactions) is an open problem in the FDS community. To understand where we are at in this process, have a look at this thread (FDS discussion group):

The FDS discussion group has also put together a list of resources for users that want to try to model materials given the current situation. That list is at the following URL:
