In another portion of the presentation attendees will be shown the different types of facers used in polyisocyanurate production, and the literal strengths and weaknesses of each in roofing designs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Differentiate the different application methods for low rise foam adhesives
- Have a basic understanding of the chemical principals of these foams
- Know the benefits and risks of using low rise foams
- Understand the most common polyisocyanurate facers in production and their design advantages
