The insulation is for use in wall cavities, floor assemblies, 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 3.5, and as a vapor retarder when installed in accordance with Section 3.4. Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) spray foam may be used in fire -resistance -rated construction when installed in accordance with Section 4.5, and in Types I through IV construction when installed in accordance with Section 4.7. The insulation may be used as an alternative to the water -resistive barrier required in IBC Section 1404.2 and IRC Section R703.2 when installed as described in Section 4.6. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) Insulation: Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) foam plastic insulation is a two -component, closed -cell, water blown, spray -applied foam plastic insulation with a nominal density of 2.2 pcf. The two components of the insulation are Icynene Base Seal MDI isocyanate (A -component) and Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) resin (B-component) which, when stored in unopened factory -sealed containers at a temperature between 60°F and 85°F (4.4°C and 37.8°C), have a shelf life of six months. The attributes of the insulation have been verified as conforming to the provisions of ICC 700-2008 Section 703.2.1.1.1(c) as an air impermeable insulation. Note that decisions on compliance for those areas rest with the user of this report. The user is advised of the project -specific provisions that may be contingent upon meeting specific conditions, and the verification of those conditions is outside the scope of this report. These codes or standards often provide supplemental information as guidance. 3.2 Surface Burning Characteristics: The Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) insulation, at a maximum thickness of 4 inches (102 mm) and a nominal density of 2.2 pounds per cubic foot (35.2 kg/M2), has a flame -spread index of 25 or less and a smoke -developed ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are Plot to be construed as representing aesthetics or any olher attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the report or recornnrendation for its use.

The coating is supplied in 5-gallon (19 L) pails and 55-gallon (208 L) drums, and has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in factory -sealed containers at temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (24°C). 4.0 INSTALLATION 4.1 General: Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's published installation instructions and this report. The manufacturer's installation instructions and this report must be strictly adhered to, and a copy of the instructions and this evaluation report must be available on the jobsite at all times during installation. 4.2 Application: The insulation must be applied using spray equipment specified by Icynene Inc. The product must not be used in areas which have a maximum service temperature greater than 180°F (82°C), nor in electrical outlet or junction boxes or in contact with rain or water. The product must be protected from the weather during and after application. Where Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) is used as an air - impermeable barrier, such as in unventilated attic spaces regulated by IRC Section R806, the insulation must be installed at a minimum thickness of 1.4 inches (35 mm). The insulation may be installed in multiple passes at maximum of 2 inches (51 mm) per pass to the maximum thickness. Where multiple passes are required, the cure time between passes is in accordance with the manufacturer's published installation instructions. 4.3 Thermal Barrier: 4.3.1 Application with a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier: Icynene ProSeal Eco (MD-R-210) must be separated from the interior of the building by an approved thermal, barrier, such as '/--inch (12.7 mm) gypsum wallboard installed using mechanical fasteners in accordance with the applicable code, 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.

Attic ventilation is provided when required by IBC Section 1203.2 or IRC Section R806, except air -impermeable insulation is permitted in unvented attics in accordance with 2015 IBC Section 1203.3 or 2015 and 2012 IRC Section R806.5 (2009 IRC Section R806.4). 6. Combustion air is provided in accordance with IMC (International Mechanical Code ) Secflon 701. 4.4.2.2 Use with DC315 Intumescent Coating: In attics, the insulation may be spray -applied to the underside of ESR-3493 I Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 3 of 5 roof sheathing or roof rafters, and/or vertical surfaces, and in crawl spaces the insulation may be spray -applied to the underside of floors and/or vertical surfaces as described in this section. The thickness of the foam plastic applied to the underside of roof sheathing and/or rafters in attics, and the underside of floors as described in this section, must not exceed 14 inches (356 mm), and the thickness applied to vertical surfaces must not exceed 8 inches (203 mm). The insulation must be covered on all surfaces with DC 315 coating at a minimum wet film thickness of 6 wet mils (0.15 mm) [4 dry mils (0.10 mm)JJ, at a {'ate of 1 gallon (3.8 L) per 268 square feet (6.8 m ).
