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

Type Classifications ASTM C578 Type X Type lV Type Vl
1. Properties shown are representative values for 1" thick material, unless otherwise specified. Testing
modified as needed for products less than 1/2" thickness.
2. Modified as required to meet ASTM C578
3. R means the resistance to heat flow; 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% deflection, whichever occurs first. Testing modified as needed for products
less than
1/2" thickness.
5. Value at yield or 5%, whichever occurs first
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
fire conditions

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