Dow PB4 Styrofoam Scoreboard 4’x50′: Insulation Board

Dow PB4 Styrofoam Scoreboard 4’x50′: Insulation Board

Dow PB4 Styrofoam Scoreboard insulation is an extruded polystyrene insulation board that is scored longitudinally on 6″ and 24″ centers, making it easy to size to commonly used widths. Dow PB4 Styrofoam Scoreboard has excellent insulating characteristics, high resistance to water and water vapor, superior compressive strength and long-term durability. Questions? Contact Us.

PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
Dow PB4 Styrofoam Scoreboard insulation exhibits the properties and characteristics indicated in Table 1 when tested as represented. For chemical resistance properties of STYROFOAM Scoreboard insulation, see Table 2. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight for several
weeks will cause the surface of STYROFOAM Scoreboard insulation to become yellow and dusty. A light-colored, opaque protective covering should be used if excessive solar exposure is expected. The surface degradation will have no measurable effect on the insulating value of the plastic foam unless the deterioration is allowed to continue until actual foam thickness is lost. Since the dust would impair the performance of adhesives and finishes, the dusty surface should be brushed off before these products are applied.
