Type I is a closed flexiblefoam. Type II is an open cell flexible foam.NOTE 1The primary difference bet
18、ween Type I and Type II materialsare: Type I materials exhibit lower water absorption properties and TypeII materials have greater acoustical properties as noted in Tables 1 and 2.5. Materials5.1 These products shall be made of a homogeneous blendof natural or synthetic polymeric materials. Modifica
19、tions withvarious thermoplastic or thermosetting resins, plasticizers,modifiers, antioxidants, curatives, blowing agents and otheradditives are allowed. These products do not melt whenexposed to heat and are considered to be thermoset materials.5.2 Flexible, polymeric cellular thermal insulations sh
20、all beof uniform core density. These insulation materials are avail-able with a smooth skin surface or coating on one or both sides,and they are to be considered homogeneous for the purposes ofdetermining thermal performance.6.
