ASTM D7425/D7425M-11

Standard Specification for Spray Polyurethane Foam Used for Roofing Applications

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the types and physical properties of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) for use in SPF roofing applications.  
1.2 This specification does not provide guidance for application.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
