The insulation is for use in wall cavities, floor/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 under IRC Section R806.4, when installed in accordance with Section 3.5. The insulation may be used in exterior walls of Types I, II, III, and IV construction when used as described in Section 4.5. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General: JM Corbond MCS™ insulation is two-component, spray- applied, rigid, medium-density, polyurethane foam plastic having a nominal in-place density of 2.1 pcf. The insulation is produced in the field by combining a polymeric isocyanate (A component) with a polymeric resin (B component). The liquid components are supplied in 55-gallon (208 L) drums and 250-gallon (946 L) totes. The polymeric isocyanurate (A component) has a shelf life of twelve months when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 60°F (15.5°C) and 75°F (24°C). The polymeric resin (B component) has a shelf life of six months when stored in factory-sealed containers at temperatures between 60°F (15.5°C) and 75°F (24°C). 3.2 Surface-burning Characteristics: The insulation, at a maximum thickness of 4.3 inches (109 mm) and a nominal density of 2.0 pcf, have a flame- spread index of 25 or less and a smoke-developed index of 450 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Thicknesses of up to 91/4 inches (235 mm) for wall cavities and 111/4 inches (286 mm) for ceiling cavities are recognized, based on testing in accordance with NFPA 286, when the insulation is covered with a minimum 1/2-inch-thick (12.7 mm) gypsum board or an equivalent thermal barrier complying with, and installed in accordance with, the applicable code. 3.3 Thermal Resistance, R-values: The insulation has thermal resistance (R-values) at a mean temperature of 75°F (24°C) as shown in Table 1. 3.4 Vapor Permeance: The insulation has a vapor permeance of less than 1 perm [5.7x10-12 kg/(Pa-s-m2)] when tested in accordance with the ASTM E96 desiccant method (Procedure A), when applied at a minimum thickness of 11/2 inches (38 mm). The insulation qualifies as a Class II vapor retarder under the IRC. 3.5 Air Permeability: The insulation, at a minimum thickness of 11/2 inches (38 mm), is considered air-impermeable insulation in ESR-3159 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 5 accordance with Section R806.4 of the IRC, based on testing in accordance with ASTM E283. 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. 3.6 JM IB Intumescent Coating: JM IB intumescent coating, manufactured by Johns Manville Corporation, is a one-component, water-based, liquid intumescent coating supplied in 5-gallon (19 L) pails.

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 a volumetric positive displacement pump as identified in the Johns Manville application manual. The insulation must be applied when the substrate temperatures are between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C). The foam plastic must not be used in electrical outlets or junction boxes, or in contact with water, rain or soil. The foam plastic must not be sprayed onto a substrate that is wet, or covered with frost or ice, loose scales, rust, oil, or grease. The insulation must be protected from the weather during and after application. Where the insulation is used as an air- impermeable insulation, such as in unvented attic assemblies under 2012 IRC Section R806.5 or 2009 IRC Section R806.4, the insulation must be installed at a minimum thickness of 11/2 inches (38 mm).

The coating must be applied over the insulation in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s instructions and this report. Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, loose debris and other substances that could interfere with adhesion of the coating. The coating is applied in one coat with low-pressure airless spray equipment. 4.3.3 Application without a Prescriptive Thermal Barrier with TPR2 Fireshell® JM-TC Intumescent Coating: The prescribed 15-minute thermal barrier may be omitted when installation is in accordance with this section. The JM Corbond MCS™ spray-applied insulation and TPR2 Fireshell® JM-TC system (ESR-3997) may be spray- applied to the interior facing of walls, the underside of roof sheathing or roof rafters, and in crawl spaces, and may be left exposed as an interior finish without a prescribed 15- minute thermal barrier. The foam plastic insulation thickness must not exceed 6 inches (152 mm) in walls and 91/2 inches (241 mm) in ceilings, and the insulation must be covered with 12 dry mils (0.3 mm) [20 wet mils (0.5 mm)] of TPR2 Fireshell® JM-TC intumescent coating applied in a single coat at a minimum rate of 1 gallon (3.78L) per 82 square feet (7.6 m2). The substrate must be dry, clean and free of dirt and loose debris or other substances that could interfere with the adhesion of the coating.
