FLOORMATE 700-A

FLOORMATE™ 700-A is intended for the insulation of floors and parking decks which are subject to very high loadings.

The letter 'A' denotes Dow's environmentally advanced quality of blue extruded polystyrene insulation foams, which are blown with carbon dioxide. 'A' products have no impact on the ozone layer.

Further information on designing with FLOORMATE insulation can be found at Insulating with STYROFOAM: Insulating Floors.
