The use of spray-in-place polyurethane foam for roofing application in the United States is increasing at a rapid rate. Little unbiased information is available to guide the user in the specification, selection, application, and performance of this innovative roofing system. This report describes the current state-of-the-art of rigid polyurethane technology as applied to roofing systems. The performance parameters as observed during the field survey are discussed in terms of protective coatings, fire safety, durability and problem areas. Guidelines to assist the supplier and user alike in the use and selection of polyurethane foam roofing systems are given. Finally, a performance specification for spray-in-place polyurethane foam roofing system is suggested.

“…Some flame retardant compositions based upon these mixtures are: polyolefin yarns (108); organopolysiloxane sealants (109); thermoplastic poly (hydroxylethers) (110); fireproof panels made from starch which can be used for doors, floors, ceilings, and partitions (111); polyamides (112); and in fireproof fiberboards (113). Rigid polyurethane foams (114)(115)(116) and hardboard compositions (117), when treated only with PCB's do not show any significant increase in flame retardant activity.…”

Flame Retardation of Polyurethane Foams in Practice

Before joining UnionCarbide in 1966, he held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Purdue University and worked at Du Pont for five years. He has had experience in the areas of fire-resistant polyurethanes, polyurethane foams, synthetic leather, phenolic resins and foams, acrylic coatings, and high-temperature polymers.Little information has been published describing the flame retardation of polyurethane foams in practice, and most such data are contained in the patent literature. The lack of such information is not surprising, especially, for example, when compared to flame-retarding textiles or polyesters, since the commercial production of urethane polymers has become of importance only within about the past 10 years.
