Summary:

A closed-cell foamboard insulation containing chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) has been monitored in the laboratory and in the field for about three years. Experimental data for this developmental extruded polystyrene insulation has been obtained in two laboratories using three apparatuses. A correlation of apparent thermal conductivity with time gives the thermal resistivity of the two-inch-thick unfaced foamboards to within 3% with 95% confidence. A thermal resistivity of 30.2 m¿̐ưK/W (4.36 ft2¿̐ưh¿̐ư¿̐ưF/Btu¿̐ưin) was calculated from the correlation for time equal 180 days after manufacture. Based on three years of data, the predicted thermal resistivity is 27.6 m¿̐ưK/W (3.98 ft2¿̐ưh¿̐ư¿̐ưF/Btu¿̐ưin) as time since manufacture becomes large. Field measurements confirm the decrease with time of the thermal resistivity that was observed in the laboratory.
