PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
INSTA-STIK Professional Roof
Insulation Adhesive is a single
component polyurethane adhesive
dispensed from a portable disposable
prepressurized container requiring no
external power source (See figure 1).
BASIC USE
lNSTA-STIK is used to attach
compatible roof insulation boards to roof
decks and substrates in new roof and
roof replacement applications, including
insulation board to insulation board,
insulation board to Class I graveled and
non-graveled (bald) built-up roofs for
re-cover applications, and insulation or
gypsum board to 22 gauge and thicker
steel decks and wood decks.
INSTA-STIK is also used to attach
compatible roof insulation in loose-laid
and ballasted roof systems.
INSULATION ADHESIVE
ADVANTAGES
Maintains adhesion during
freeze/ thaw cycles.
Prevents shifting of insulation boards
in high wind conditions in loose-laid
and ballasted applications.
Maximizes wind uplift resistance.
No fastener/steel deck corrosion or
fastener backout.
No thermal conductivity.
No structural deck damage caused
by mechanical fasteners No
compressed or melted insulation.
No obnoxious odor or noise pollution.
No building height restrictions.
No puncturing of vapor retarders.
No asphalt penetration into building
interior (steel deck).

manufacturer's FM Global (FMG) listing
for minimum insulation thickness
requirements.
The FMG listings are for specific
combinations of insulation materials and
substrates. Please contact Duro-Last
Engineering Services or FMG to
determine if the combination of roofing
materials for a specific roofing project
meets the desired approval.
