R values calculated using parallel heat flow

R values taken from National Concrete Masonry Association

 
 *  R means resistance to heat flow; the higher the R value, the

      greater the insulating power.

 Limitations:  This material is not intended for use with temperatures

                          exceeding 190° for prolonged periods of time.  The

                          foam will not support a compressive load and should

                          not be used for floatation, overhead applications or

                          underground as a vapor barrier.
