Product Data Sheet
FOAMULAR® INSULPINK®
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Rigid Foam Insulation
Energy-Saving, Moisture-Resistant XPS Insulation
Recessed Furring-Ready Insulation
ASTM C578 Type X, 15 psi minimum
Description
INSULPINK® extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation is extremely light-weight for easy handling and provides a high R-value of 7.5, exceptional resistance to moisture, and pre-cut slotted edges ready to accommodate 1x3 wood furring for easy installation.
INSULPINK® insulation is produced by OwensCorning’s patented Hydrovac® process technology under conditions of strict quality control. Used to insulate the interior of basem*nt or other concrete or block walls, INSULPINK® insulation accommodates a nailing strip which is used to attach the foam boards to the wall and provide framing to attach the fi nish surface such as drywall.
Key Features
• Helps reduce job site labor costs while you install premium insulation
• Available in a thickness of 1½ " with slotted edges to accommodate furring
• Excellent long-term stable insulating performance with an R-value of R-7.51
• Exceptional moisture resistance, long-term durability
• Limited lifetime warranty2—maintains 90% of R-value and covers all ASTM C578 properties
• The only XPS foam to be GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certifi edSM
• The only XPS foam with certifi ed recycled content—certifi ed by Scientifi c Certifi cation Systems (SCS) to contain a minimum 20% recycled content
• Will not corrode, rot or support mold growth
• Zero ozone depletion potential with 70% less global warming potential than our previous formula
• Reusable
• Lightweight, durable rigid foam panels are easy to handle and install
• Easy to saw, cut or score
Technical Information
This product is combustible and when used on interior surfaces, it cannot be left exposed. A protective barrier or thermal barrier is required as specifi ed in the appropriate building code. For additional information, consult MSDS or contact OwensCorning World Headquarters at 1-800-GET-PINK®.
All construction should be evaluated for the necessity to provide vapor retarders. See current ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.
FOAMULAR® INSULPINK® insulation is a non-structural material.
FOAMULAR® insulation can be exposed to the exterior during normal construction cycles. During that time some fading of color may begin due to UV exposure, and, if exposed for extended periods of time, some degradation or “dusting” of the polystyrene surface may begin. It is best if the product is covered within 60 days to minimize degradation. Once covered, the deterioration stops, and damage is limited to the thin top surface layers of cells. Cells below are generally unharmed and still useful insulation.

1. Properties shown are representative values for 1" thick material, unless otherwise specifi ed.2. Modifi ed as required to meet ASTM C578.3. R means the resistance to heat fl ow; the higher the value, the greater the insulation power. This insulation must be
installed properly to get the marked R-value. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If a manufacturer’s fact sheet is not provided with the material shipment, request this and review it carefully. R-values vary depending on many factors including the mean temperature at which the test is conducted, and the age of the sample at the time of testing. Because rigid foam plastic insulation products are not all aged in accordance with the same standards, it is useful to publish comparison R-value data. The R-value for FOAMULAR® XPS insulation is provided from testing at two mean temperatures, 40ºF and 75ºF, and from two aging (conditioning) techniques, 180 day real-time aged (as mandated by ASTM C578) and a method of accelerated aging sometimes called “Long Term Thermal Resistance” (LTTR) per CAN/ULC S770-03. The R-value at 180 day real-time age and 75ºF mean temperature is commonly used to compare products and is the value printed on the product.

Data ranges from 0.00 to value shown due to the level of precision of the test method.7. Water vapor permeance decreases as thickness increases.8.
