¹ One part A thoroughly mixed with one part B and cured at 25°C (77`F) for 24 hours.
² Time to non-pour conditions. Also time to begin foam rise.
³ Power mixed for 30 seconds and cured in nonconfined condition.
⁴ Breathability method.
⁵ Cured foam sample thickness - -1.0 inch.
⁶ Tests, claims, representatives and descriptions regarding flammability are based on small-scale laboratory tests. Such tests are not reliable for determining, evaluation, predicting or describing the flammability or burning characteristics of the product under actual fire conditions, whether the product is used alone or in combination with other products.
