InSoFast is a closed-cell expanded high density polystyrene panel with three integrated polypropylene attachment studs.  The tongue-and-groove edge design provides secure connection between panels.  The panel is 48" x 24" x 2" thick.

Moisture Drainage:  The back side of the InSoFast panel is ribbed to provide moisture drainage channels but is not classified as a water proofing material.

Wiring Chases:  Chases are located 1-1/2" below the surface of the panel and spaced 16" o.c. vertically and 24" o.c. horizontally (National Electric Code - NEC Article 330-4d and 300-41a).

Attachment Studs:  Attachment Studs provide solid attachment for drywall.  They have no nutrient value to animals, insects, or micro-organisms.  There is no nutrient value for bacterial growth, including mold.  Polypropylene attachment stud (ASTM D 1929, ASTM D 635, ASTM D 2843, ASTM D 638).

EPS (Expanded Polystyrene):  InSoFast is shape molded at 1.25 pcf with Type VIII - Flame Retardant Expanded Polystyrene.  EPS is a moisture resistant closed-cell foam which contains no ozone depleting CFCs or HCFCs and is 100% recyclable.  No toxins or formaldehydes are produced.  EPS is inert and experiences no physical or chemical breakdown over time.  There is no nutrient value to animals, insects, bacteria, or mold.

Usage:  InSoFast is a non-structural panel installed on masonry block or poured concrete surfaces.  The masonry block and concrete surfaces must be structurally sound.  The InSoFast panel is bonded to the masonry block or concrete surface with construction adhesive as per manufacturer's recommendations.

Construction Note:  In most installations, InSoFast panels must be covered with a 15 minute thermal barrier (typically 1/2" drywall) or otherwise installed in accordance with applicable building code requirements.
