The insulation is for use in wall cavities, floor/ceiling assemblies, or attics and crawl spaces when installed in accordance with Section 4.4. Under the IRC, the insulation may be used as air-impermeable insulation when installed in accordance with Section 3.4. When installed in accordance with Section 4.5, the insulation may be used as an alternative to the water-resistive barriers required in IBC Section 1404.2 and IRC Section R703.2. The insulation may be used in nonload-bearing, fire-resistance- rated walls when construction is in accordance with Section 4.6. The insulation also may be used in exterior walls of Type I, II, III or IV construction when used as described in Section 4.7. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General: HEATLOK SOY® 200 spray-applied foam insulation is rigid, medium-density, polyurethane foam plastic that is installed as a component of floor/ceiling and wall assemblies. The insulation is a two-component, spray- applied foam plastic with a nominal in-place density of 2.0 pcf (32 kg/m3). The insulation is produced in the field by combining a polymeric isocyanate (A100 component) with a polymeric resin (B200 component). The insulation liquid components are supplied in 55-gallon (208 L) drums and/or 250-gallon (946 L) totes and have a shelf life of one year when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 59°F (15°C) and 77°F (25°C). 3.2 Surface-burning Characteristics: The insulation, at a maximum thickness of 4 inches (102 mm) and a nominal density of 2.0 pcf (32 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 E 84. Thicknesses of up to 91/4 inches (235 mm) for wall cavities and 111/4 inches (286 mm) for ceiling cavities are recognized, based on testing in accordance with NFPA 286, when the insulation is covered with a minimum 1/2-inch-thick (12.7 mm) gypsum board or an equivalent thermal barrier complying with, and installed in accordance with, the applicable code. 3.3 Thermal Resistance, R-values: The insulation has thermal resistance (R-value) at a mean temperature of 75ºF (24ºC) as shown in Table 1. 3.4 Vapor Retarder: The insulation has a vapor permeance of less than 1 perm [5.7x10-11 kg/(Pa-s-m2)], in accordance with ASTM E 96, when applied at a minimum thickness of 1.2 inches (30.5 mm), and qualifies as Class II vapor retarder under the IRC. 3.5 Air Permeability: The insulation, at a minimum thickness of 11/2 inches (38 mm), is considered air-impermeable insulation in accordance with Section R806.4 of the IRC, based on testing in accordance with ASTM E 283 and ASTM E 2178. ESR-3210 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 4 3.6 Intumescent Primer and Coating: 3.6.1 BlazeLok™ TB 200 Primer: BlazeLok™ TB 200 primer is a one-component, water-based liquid coating manufactured by TPR2 Corporation. The gray-colored coating has a flame-spread index of 25 or less and a smoke-developed index of 450 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84. The coating is supplied in 5-gallon (19L) pails and/or 55-gallon (208 L) drums and has a shelf life of one year when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C). The coating is applied in one coat with a manufacturer-recommended spray gun to a substrate with a temperature of at least 50°F (10°C). The primer requires 1.5 hours of drying time before application of the coating. 3.6.2 BlazeLok™ TB 200 Intumescent Coating: Blazelok™ TB 200 intumescent coating, manufactured by TPR2 Corporation, is a one-component, water-based liquid coating that is white in color. Blazelok™ TB 200 is supplied in 5-gallon (19 L) pails and/or 55-gallon (208 L) drums and has a shelf life of one year when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C). The coating is applied in one coat with a manufacturer recommended spray gun to a substrate with a temperature of at least 50°F (10°C). 4.0 INSTALLATION 4.1 General: HEATLOK SOY® 200 spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions, the applicable code and this report. A copy of the manufacturer’s published installation instructions must be available at all times on the jobsite during installation. 4.2 Application: The insulation is spray-applied on the jobsite using a volumetric positive displacement pump as identified in the Demilec application manual. The insulation must be applied when the ambient temperature is greater than 23°F (-5°C). The insulation must not be used in areas that have a maximum in-service temperature greater than 180°F (82°C). The foam plastic must not be used in electrical outlet or junction boxes or in contact with water, rain or soil. The foam plastic must not be sprayed onto a substrate that is wet, or covered with frost or ice, loose scales, rust, oil, or grease. The insulation must be protected from the weather during and after application. Where insulation is used as an air-impermeable insulation, such as in unvented attic assemblies under IRC Section R806.4, the insulation must be installed at a minimum thickness of 1.5 inches (38 mm). The insulation must be applied in passes not exceeding 2 inches (51 mm) per pass and must be allowed to fully expand and cure for a minimum of 20 minutes prior to the application of the next additional pass. 4.3 Thermal Barrier: 4.3.1 Application with a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier: HEATLOK SOY® 200 insulation must be separated from the interior of the building by an approved thermal barrier of 1/2-inch-thick (12.7 mm) gypsum wallboard or an equivalent 15-minute thermal barrier complying with, and installed in accordance with, IBC Section 2603.4 or IRC Section R316.4, as applicable, except where insulation is in an attic or crawl space as described in Section 4.4. Thicknesses of up to 91/4 inches (235 mm) for wall cavities and 111/4 inches (286 mm) for floor/ceiling cavities are recognized, based on room corner fire testing in accordance with NFPA 286. 4.3.2 Application without a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier: The prescriptive 15-minute thermal barrier or ignition barrier may be omitted when installation is in accordance with this section (Section 4.3.2). The insulation, primer and intumescent coating may be spray- applied to the interior facing of walls, the underside of the roof sheathing or roof rafter, and in crawl spaces, and may be left exposed as an interior finish without a prescribed 15-minute thermal barrier or ignition barrier. The thickness of the foam plastic applied to the underside of roof sheathing must not exceed 111/4 inches (286 mm). The thickness of the spray foam insulation applied to vertical wall surfaces must not exceed 91/4 inches (235 mm). The foam plastic must be covered on all surfaces with BlazeLok™ TB 200 primer applied over the foam plastic at a minimum wet film thickness of 7 mils (4 mils dry or 170 square feet per gallon). BlazeLok™ TB 200 intumescent coating must be applied over the primer at a minimum wet film thickness of 14 mils (8 mils dry or 120 square feet per gallon). The primer and the coating must be applied over the insulation in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s instructions and this report. Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, loose debris and other substances that could interfere with adhesion of the coating. 4.4 Attics and Crawl Spaces: 4.4.1 Application with a Prescriptive Ignition Barrier: When the spray-applied insulation is installed within attics or crawl spaces where entry is made only for service of utilities, an ignition barrier must be installed in accordance with IBC Section 2603.4.1.6 or IRC Section R316.5.3 or R316.5.4, as applicable. The ignition barrier must be consistent with the requirements for the type of construction required by the applicable code, and must be installed in a manner so the foam plastic insulation is not exposed. The insulation as described in this section may be installed in unvented attics in accordance with IRC Section R806.4. 4.4.2 Application without a Prescriptive Ignition Barrier: 4.4.2.1 General: HEATLOK SOY® 200 spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation may be installed in attics and crawl spaces as described in this section without the ignition barriers required by IBC Section 2603.4.1.6 and IRC Sections R316.5.3 and R316.5.4, subject to the following conditions: a. Entry to the attic or crawl space is only to service utilities, and no storage is permitted. b. There are no interconnected attic or crawl space areas. c.
