8 Recommended that all length 2. Modified as required to meet ASTM C 578. 3. R means the resistance to heat flow; the higher the value, the greater the Insulation power. This Insulation must be cutting take place on the installed properly to get the marked R-value. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If a manufacturer's bottom of the Board . 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. Because rigid foam plastic Insulation products are not all aged in accordance with the same 6.

9 At wall corners where two standards, it is useful to publish comparison R-value data. The R-value for foamular XPS Insulation is provided from testing at two mean temperatures, 40 F and 75 F, and from two aging (conditioning) techniques, 180 day real- INSUL-DRAIN boards time aged (as mandated by ASTM C 578) and a method of accelerated aging sometimes called Long Term Thermal intersect, one Board should Resistance (LTTR) per CAN/ULC S770-03. The R-value at 180 day real-time age and 75 F mean temperature is commonly used to compare products and is the value printed on the product. be trimmed flush with the wall 4.
