- Do not install on foundation exteriors, in-ground, or in any other environment involving exposure to water, moisture, or water vapor in large quantities.
- Prolonged exposure to 100°C or more will degrade thermal resistance and other properties, despite dimensional stability (within 2%) at up to 200°C.
- Use only NEOMA™ Foam DH or UF for concrete-placement installation.
- Store in dry, shady area free from exposure to water and direct sunlight.
- Store bound together and covered with protective sheet to prevent dispersion by wind.
- Avoid contact with sharp objects, edges, and corners, to prevent physical damage.
- Avoid exposure to load and impact on any portion not supported by substrate, to prevent cracking.
- Avoid installation during windy weather, to prevent rippling and cracking.
- When cutting, use vacuum-equipped cutter and approved workclothes, dust mask, and goggles.
- For large-volume cutting in confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and minimize dust formation.
- Though dust from NEOMA™ Foam is not identified as a health hazard, promptly flush from eyes with running water without rubbing and gargle with water to remove from mouth and throat.
- Avoid exposure to flame during transport, storage, and installation, to prevent carbonization. (Limiting oxygen number: 28% or more).
- Ammonia gas may be generated in burning, with a detectable smell in a quantity too small to cause injury or present a health hazard.
- Ultraviolet exposure causes no loss in performance but may cause discoloration. Complete outer finishing work promptly after installation.
- Commission disposal by authorized disposal agent as ordinary plastic, by placement in stable landfill or by incineration, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
- Compression or crushing will result in the release of hydrocarbon gas from the foam cells, and should therefore be performed in a non-confined area with adequate ventilation.
- Contains no substance of food or nutritional value to termite larva, insects, or animals, but may be damaged by their presence.
Notes on all of the foregoing precautions:
- They apply only to ordinary use and applications.
- Suitability and safety for any special application or use must be determined in advance by the user.
- They are based on currently available information and are subject to change without notice in the event of new findings or knowledge.
