5 A light-colored, opaqueprotective covering should beused if excessive solar exposureis expected. The surface degra-dation will have no measurableeffect on the insulating value of the plastic foam unless thedeterioration is allowed to continue until actual foamthickness is lost. Since the dustwould impair the performanceof adhesives and finishes, thedusty surface should be brushedoff before these products DATASTYROFOAM Scoreboard insu-lation is chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) free. It is manufacturedwith HCFC blowing agents,which have ozone depletionpotentials 94 percent less thanstandard CFC blowing agents.

7 Since STYROFOAM extruded polystyrene insulations are visco-elastic materials, adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long-term creep and fatigue deformation. For static loads, 3:1 is suggested. For dynamic loads, 5:1 is suggested.(2) Based on 1" thickness.(3) This numerical flame spread rating is not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or any other material under actualfire conditions.
