Material Safety Data Sheet for complete safetyinformation prior to use.Thermapink 18/25/40; and Dow Dechmate,Plazamate and Recovermate; FM approved. Productshould not be used in contact with chimneys, heatervents, steam pipes, or other surfaces wheretemperatures exceed 150 F. Product should beinstalled under a membrane applied to a substratehaving an adequate fire rating as required by buildingcodes, over metal or combustible deck. Separatorsheet should be used where insulation may come incontact with PVC membrane if required by membranemanufacturer. Any material containing organicsolvents should not be used in direct contact withpolystyrene insulation unless previously evaluated.Protect from extended exposure of sunlight. Theproduct will ignite if exposed to fire of sufficient heatand intensity, although it does contain a flameretardant additive to inhibit ignition from small firesources.Polyisocyanurate HP, HP-H, HP-N, HP-W: ULClassified, FM Approved: Carlisle SynTec'sPolyisocyanurate products are non-structural, non-loadbearing materials. They are not designed for directtraffic usage unless adequately protected. All roofinsulation should be kept dry and protected from theelements. No more insulation should be installed thancan be covered in the same day. Isocyanurate foamwill burn if exposed to a flame of sufficient heat andintensity. Contact Carlisle SynTec for advice on theuse of these products if there is any doubt concerningthe proper product for the job, the proper installationprocedure or the proper code approvals.HP Recovery Board: UL classified, FM approved.HP Recovery Board is a wood fiberboard underlaymentfor use with Carlisle roofing systems. All roof insulationshould be kept dry and protected from the elements.No more insulation should be installed than can becovered in the same day. Wood fiberboard will burn ifexposed to a flame of sufficient heat and intensity.CARPENTER INSULATION COMPANYStyrodeck flat and tapered expanded polystyrene:Styrodeck is preferred for building roofs having normaltemperature conditions but should not be used incontact with chimneys, heater vents, steam pipes, orother surfaces where temperatures exceed 150 F. It isnot recommended for unballasted applications wheresustained roof temperatures exceed 165 F andintermittent temperatures exceed 180 F.

Styrofoam-Brand Roofing Recovery Board, Styrofoam brandRecovermate, and Styrofoam Deckmate andDeckmate Plus insulations are intended for usebeneath loose-laid and ballasted or mechanicallyfastened sheet membranes in roof construction.Styrofoam brand insulations have poor resistance toaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons,olefins, napthas, ketones, gasoline, fuel oil, and oilbasedpaint. Maximum service temperature: 165 F,except for Styrofoam brand Recovermate, which has amaximum service temperature of 200 F. Lightstability: When stored outdoors for extended periods,Styrofoam brand insulations should be shielded fromthe sunlight with an opaque, light-colored covering.Notice: Styrofoam brand insulation are combustibleand should be stored, handled, and used properly.They should be installed with code-acceptable thermalbarriers or used in approved alternative constructions.For more information, contact Dow (800-441-4DOW).362
