ASTM C1136-06
Standard Specification for Flexible, Low Permeance Vapor Retarders for Thermal Insulation
1.1 This specification covers vapor retarders for thermal insulation, specifically, flexible materials with permeance of 0.10 perm or lower and surface burning characteristics of 25 flame spread/50 smoke or lower. These materials are intended for use at surface temperatures of 20 to 150°F (29 to 66°C). It does not cover mastics or barrier coatings applied in liquid form, nor materials intended for use as weather barriers.
1.2 This specification provides physical requirements for vapor retarders. Practice C 755 provides assistance in solving problems related to moisture vapor transmission through thermal insulation materials.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
