The polyurethane foam is produced by combining Icynene Base Seal MDI isocyanate (the A component) and Icynene MD-C-200 resin (the B component). The products have a shelf life of six months when stored in factory -sealed containers at temperatures between 60OF and 850F (16°C and 290C). The MD-C-200 is supplied in one formulation for all climates. The attributes of the insulation have been verified as conforming to the provisions of ICC 700-2008 Section 703.2.1.1.1(c) as an air impermeable insulation. Note that decisions on compliance for those areas rest with the user of this report. The user is advised of the project -specific provisions that may be contingent upon meeting specific conditions, and the verification of those conditions is outside the scope of this report. These codes or standards often provide supplemental information as guidance. 3.2 Surface Burning Characteristics: The Icynene MD-C-200 insulation, at a maximum thickness of 4 inches (102 mm) and a nominal density of 2.4 pounds per cubic foot (38.4 kg/m3), has a flame -spread index of 25 or less and a smoke -developed index of 450 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 (UL 723). 3.3 Thermal Resistance: Icynene MD-C-200 insulation has a thermal resistance, R value, at a mean temperature of 75°F (24°C) as shown in Table 1. 3.4 Air Permeability: Icynene MD-C-200 insulation, at a minimum 1.4-inch (25.4 mm) thickness, is considered air -impermeable ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specffrcally addressed nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use.
