at listed
price per linear foot. Longer lengths available by quotation.
- Double
sided logs are split and rewrapped at no
additional charge to eliminate possible
gapping in transit.
- Thicknesses
greater than those shown are available
by laminating.
- Special
fire retardant formulations
registered with Underwriters
Laboratories
(UL 94 & UL 723). Specifications are available upon request.

Die-Cutting
Applications:
.188" Thick
and under: We recommend specifying (at no extra cost) that extra silicone release (XR)
be applied to the foam side of casting paper. When ready to fabricate, unwrap outer lap of casting paper to expose foam around
full circumference of roll. XR ensures easy removal of casting paper from foam.
Over
.188" thick: We recommend transfer wrapping log. This process entails removal of casting paper and application of release paper
to the adhesive side. If kiss cutting, we recommend transfer wrapping logs. This process entails removal of the casting paper and application of release
board to the adhesive side.
