process technology.
Note: (1) resistances are calculated, including Inside/Outside air lms, based upon procedures and design values
for all components at 75° F mean temperature from current ASHRE Handbook of Fundamentals.

Type Classications ASTM C578 Type X Type lV Type Vl
1. Properties shown are representative values for 1" thick material, unless otherwise specied. Testing modied as
needed for products less than 1/2" thickness.
2. Modied as required to meet ASTM C578
3. R means the resistance to heat ow; the higher the value, the greater the insulation power. This insulation
must be installed properly to get the marked R-value. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If
a manufacturer’s fact sheet is not provided with the material shipment, request this and review it carefully.
R-values vary depending on many factors including the mean temperature at which the test is conducted,
and the age of the sample at the time of testing. The R-value for FOAMULAR
®
XPS is provided from testing
at two mean temperatures, 40º F and 75 º F, and 180 day real-time aged (as mandated by ASTM C578). The
R-value at 180 day real-time age and 75º F mean temperature is commonly used to compare products and is
the value printed on the product.
4. Values at yield or 10% deection, whichever occurs rst. Testing modied as needed for products less than
1/2" thickness.
5. Value at yield or 5%, whichever occurs rst
6. Data ranges from 0.00 to value shown due to the level of precision of the test method
7. Water vapor permeance decreases as thickness increases
8. These laboratory tests are not intended to describe the hazards presented by this material under actual
re conditions

10. ASTM E84 is thickness-dependent, therefore a range of values is given
