Features & Benefits

• FOAMULAR® insulation is an extruded polystyrene rigid foam insulation.
• A wide variety of standard sizes, thicknesses and compressive strengths meet the  requirements of nearly every application. High-strength FOAMULAR insulation products meet the challenge of under-slab and foundation applications. Compressive strengths range from an economical 15psi—the world’s lowest density extruded polystyrene insulation—to 100psi.
• Suited for diverse applications such as cavity walls, steel or wood-framed wall sheathing, furred walls, foundation walls, precast and tilt-up concrete walls, under concrete slabs and in decks. Ideal for roofing applications including single-ply, tapered, BUR and protected membrane systems.
• Thermal performance is better than other commonly used insulating products with a long-term, aged thermal resistance (R-value) of 5.0 per 1" of thickness at 75°F mean temperature.
• FOAMULAR insulation is easy to handle and install. Extruded polystyrene insulation is lightweight, durable and impact resistant which helps to reduce job site damage. Foam insulation can be scored and fabricated easily with common hand tools.
• Hydrophobic properties minimize wicking and contribute to superior dimensional stability under moist conditions. Resists ground water, condensation, water leakage and freeze/thaw cycling, but is also resistant to the effects of fungus, mildew, corrosion and common soil acids. Moisture resistance helps to maintain thermal performance over the life of the product.
•Panels are available with square edge, shiplaps or tongue and groove edge to further reduce air infiltration.

Standards and Code Compliance

• Thermal Resistance: 5.0 at 75ºF, 5.4 at 40ºF mean temperature at 1" thickness (hr x ft² x ºF/Btu)
• Recognized by code authorities under Research Reports BOCA 96-24; ICBO 3628; SBCCI PST & ESI 9727
• Meets HUD/FHA Use of Materials Bulletin  No. UM71a, ASTM C 578 and AASHTO M230
• Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., See Classification Certification U-197

Architectural Notes

• Caution: Combustible. Although it does contain a flame-retardant additive to inhibit ignition from small fire sources, if exposed to fire of sufficient heat and intensity, FOAMULAR insulation will ignite. Do not expose the product to open flame during shipping, storage, installation or use. In most applications, a code compliant thermal barrier must be used to separate FOAMULAR insulation from the building interior. Thermapink roof insulation is approved for installation directly over steel roof deck without a thermal barrier. Note: Because roofing systems vary regarding thermal  barrier requirements, check with your local Owens Corning Sales Representative and local code requirements.
• FOAMULAR insulation is not recommended where sustained temperatures exceed 165ºF. Do not use it in contact with surfaces such as pipes or chimneys that have temperatures over 150ºF.
• Many solvent-laden mastics, and some plastic or oil-based adhesives are not compatible with polystyrene-based insulations.
• Take provisions to protect the insulation from excessive exposure to direct sunlight by covering it as soon as possible.
• Evaluate all constructions to assess the necessity for providing vapor retarders to avoid condensation and subsequent structural damage. (See the current ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.)
