MAIN TABLE Footnotes:

1. All properties are measured at 70°F – 75°+ unless otherwise indicated.
2. These are nominal values obtained from representative product samples, and are subject to normal manufacturing variances.
3. Average value through the foam cross section of tested sample.
4. Frequent and severe thermal cycling can produce dimensional changes significantly greater than those listed here. Special design considerations must be made in systems subject to severe cycling.
5. This numerical flame spread data is not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or any other material under actual fire conditions. FITNESS FOR USE MUST BE DETERMINED BY BUYER AND ENGINEER; DYPLAST PRODUCTS DOES NOT WARRANT FITNESS FOR USE.
