(1) R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
(2) Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10 percent deformation or at yield, whichever occurs first. Since

factors should be used to prevent long-term creep and fatigue deformation.
(3) Based on 1" thickness.
(4) This numerical flame spread rating is not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or any other material under
actual fire conditions.
