The insulation is intended for use in wall cavities, floor/ceiling assemblies, or attics and crawl spaces when installed in accordance with Section 4.4. Under the IRC and 2018 and 2015 IBC, the insulation may be used as air-impermeable insulation when installed in accordance with Section 3.5. The insulation also may be used in exterior walls of Type I, II, III or IV construction when used as described in Section 4.5. 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. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General: Demilec Heatlok® HFO product is a rigid, medium-density, spray-applied cellular polyurethane foam plastic insulation installed as a component of wall assemblies, ceilings, floors, crawlspaces and cavities of roofs. The foam plastic insulation is a two-component, closed-cell, one-to-one by volume spray foam system with a nominal density of 2.0 pcf (32 kg/m3). The insulation is produced in the field by combining a polymeric isocyanate (A component) with a polymeric resin blend (B component). The insulation components have a shelf life of six months when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 50ºF (10ºC) and 80F (26ºC). 3.2 Surface-burning Characteristics: Demilec Heatlok® HFO product, 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 E84 (UL 723). There are no thickness limitations when insulation is covered by a code-prescribed 15-minute thermal barrier. 3.3 Thermal Resistance (R-values): Demilec Heatlok® HFO product has thermal resistance (R-value), at a mean temperature of 75ºF (24ºC), as shown in Table 1. 3.4 Vapor Permeance: Demilec Heatlok® HFO has a vapor permeance of 1.0 perm or greater and less than 10 perms when applied at a minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm) thickness and may be used where a Class III vapor retarder is required by the applicable code. 3.5 Air Permeability: Demilec Heatlok® HFO foam plastic insulation, at a minimum 1-inch (25.4 mm) thickness, is considered air-impermeable insulation in accordance with 2018, 2015 and 2012 IRC Section R806.5 (2009 IRC Section R806.4) and 2018 IBC Section 1202.3 [2015 IBC Section 1203.3] based on testing in accordance with ASTM E283.

The coating is supplied in 5-gallon (19 L) pails and 55-gallon (208 L) drums and has a shelf life of (1) year when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 45ºF (7ºC) and 95ºF (35ºC). 3.7 DC 315 Intumescent Coating: DC 315 intumescent coating (see ESR-3702), manufactured by International Fireproof Technology, Inc., is a water-based coating supplied in 5-gallon (19L) pails and 55-gallon (208L) drums and has a shelf life of one (1) year when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (24°C). 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4.1 Design: Demilec Heatlok® HFO product must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions 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 equipment identified in the manufacturer’s published installation instructions. The Demilec Heatlok® HFO product must be applied when the ambient and substrate temperature is between 50ºF (10ºC) and 100ºF (38ºC). The insulation must not be used in areas that have a maximum service temperature greater than 180ºF (82ºC). The foam plastic insulation must not be used in electrical outlet or junction boxes or in continuous contact with rain or water. The substrate must be free of moisture, frost or ice, loose scales, rust, oil and grease, or contaminates that will interfere with adhesion of the spray foam insulation. The Demilec Heatlok® HFO product may be applied in passes having a maximum thickness of 61/2 inches (165 mm) per pass. When multiple passes are required, subsequent passes can be sprayed once the core temperature drops below 100ºF (37.7ºC). 4.3 Thermal Barrier: 4.3.1 Application with a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier: Demilec Heatlok® HFO 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 thermal barrier complying with and installed in accordance with the applicable code except where the installation complies with the requirements set forth in Section 4.3.2. When installation is within an attic or crawl space as described in Section 4.4, a thermal barrier is not required between the foam plastic and the attic or crawl space, but is required between the insulation and the interior of the building. There is no thickness limit when installed behind a code- prescribed thermal barrier except as noted in Section 4.4.2.1. 4.3.2 Application without a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier: Heatlok® HFO spray foam insulation may be installed without the prescriptive 15-minute thermal barrier or ignition barrier described in Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.4.1, respectively when installation is in accordance with the following: 4.3.2.1 The insulation must be covered on all surfaces with a fire protective coating at the minimum thickness set forth in Table 2. 4.3.2.2 The maximum installed thickness of the insulation must not exceed the thickness set forth in Table 2. 4.3.3 The coating must be applied over the insulation in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s instructions and respective ICC-ES evaluation report for the coating and this report. 4.4 Ignition Barrier – Attics and Crawl Spaces: 4.4.1 Application with a Prescriptive Ignition Barrier: When Demilec Heatlok® HFO 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 and IRC Sections R316.5.3 and R316.5.4, as applicable, except when the installation is in accordance with Section 4.4.2.
