What is Type VI insulation?
What is Type VI insulation?
GreenGuard Type VI 40 psi Insulation Board is designed for use in high load applications requiring compressive strength up to 40 psi. It meets ASTM C 578 Type VI requirements.
What is Type 3 insulation?
Type 3 and Type 4 polystyrene insulation are generally extruded polystyrene. The closed-cell structure provides long-term water resistance properties and excellent mechanical properties to this foam. The cells retain a gas that provides a high thermal resistance value of R5. 0/in.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 insulation?
Type-I products typically offer about R-3.9 per 25 mm or R-7.8 at 50 mm (2 in.). However, Type-II EPS, rated at 0.6 kg (1.5 lb) nominal density, has an R-value between R-4.15 and R-4.2 per 25 mm. A 50-mm thick sheet would be R-8.3 to R-8.4.
What is Type 2 insulation?
TYPE II · 20 PSI. Page 1. Description. InsulFoam II Below Grade is an engineered insulation consisting of a superior closed-cell, lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene (EPS).
What is the R-value of 4 inch STYROFOAM?
STYROFOAM extruded polystyrene insulation is rated at an R-value of 5.0 per inch at 75°F.
What is the R-value of 4 inch rigid insulation?

Can you paint R Tech?
Q: What types of paints are compatible with the insulation? Quality latex paints and primers should be used for best results. Avoid products that contain solvents such as xylene, acetone, etc. Q: Can R-TECH be an air barrier or Weather Resistant Barrier (WRB)?
What is the R value of EPS?
3.6 per inch
EPS insulation features an average r-value of 3.6 per inch. In addition to providing energy efficiency, EPS without film facers has a perm rating of up to 5.0.
