ThermalStar® LCi-SS™ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Patent pending ThermalStar LCi-SS™ (Laminated Continuous Insulation- Structural Sheathing) is an insulated structural sheathing product with a distinctive orange color. Unlike other nailbase products, the OSB of LCi-SS faces inward, with the insulation on the exterior side. Standard features include: x EPS core with a 7/16” exposure I PS2-10 OSB inside x Alternate products available to meet energy code requirements, R3, R5 or R7.5 x LCi-SS nailing system allows for code prescriptive structural design with no structural compromises x The EPS component has integrated subterranean termite protection and moisture resistance for above grade. See reverse for further details. x Significant reduction in air infiltration and thermal bridging x No requirement to tape nail holes x Qualifies as an air barrier material— E2178 compliant x Qualifies as a water resistant barrier— AC71 compliant x 4’x8’ and 4’x9’ sheets standard, 4’x10’ sheets available upon request x Easy application of most veneer stone, vinyl, wood and fiber cement siding Table 1 TYPICAL USES US Physical Properties Property & ASTM Test Method ThermalStar® LCi-SS™ has been designed specifically to provide continuous exterior insulated structural sheathing in single family, multi-family and light commercial construction. The integrated sheet of 7/16” span rated OSB and nailing system allows uncompromised code prescriptive structural design. Since LCiSS includes the integrated sheet of OSB, it eliminates the need to consult with a structural engineer, unlike competing products. Lastly, it reduces costs and installation time by providing insulation, structural support and a water resistant barrier all in one product.

The edges of the panels are supplied square cut. LCi-SS is made with 7/16” nominal panel thickness OSB Exposure I 24/16 PS2-10 Sheathing, therefore, code prescriptive shear values apply to this product. Validated by TER report 1311-02. MOLD RESISTANCE The ThermalStar LCi-SS foam core has been tested against 4 week exposure to various mold and fungi via ASTM G21, D3273, and C1338 with no growth of spores on the product. The LCi-SS foam core provides no nutritive value for mold. However, construction practices greatly impact mold growth, and fungi have been known to even grow on glass. FREEZE/ THAW EXPOSURE The ThermalStar LCi-SS foam core has been tested via ASTM C1512 Moisture & Temperature Cycling for Insulation with no loss of physical or thermal performance. This test places the product between a cold chamber and a high humidity chamber with temperature cycling, measuring the effect on the insulation as natural moisture drive occurs. SAFETY MSDS for this product available at www.atlaseps.com. Dust generated from cutting ThermalStar LCi-SS should be avoided using a dust mask as with other building materials. LCi-SS is combustible and the product should be protected from ignition sources such as open flames or welder’s torch. Applications not specifically listed in UL ER16529.1 require permanent separation of LCi-SS from the interior of the building by a thermal barrier such as drywall or concrete for fire safety.
