*CFC (chlorofluorocarbon):
This substance diffuses into the stratosphere to be dissociated by UV radiation, releasing chlorine from the composition and starting to destroy the ozone layer.
Today, evidence shows that the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole in the southern spring is related to CFC photochemistry.
**LAMBDA:
This thermal conductivity coefficient determines the amount or flow of heat traveling through a sample surface unit.

Installation steps
1
Spread roll
Spread Prodex roll to the
top of the roof.
2
Fix roll to ridge board
Fix roll to structure once
on the top of the roof.
3
Align
Align insulation in parallel
to trusses once fixed on
the top of the roof.
4
Stretch roll
Stretch roll once ready for
proper overlapping with
next Prodex sheet.
NOTE
Our Prodex thermal insulation
can be installed on or under
the supports of any roof.
5
Fix roll to structure
Fix roll to structure on
first roof support. Using
plates (at least ½ inch wide)
and truss head screws is
recommended.
6
Overlap rolls sideways
Bond every sheet
sideways to prevent hot
air infiltration.
7
Place roof
Place a row of roof panels
for every two rows of
Prodex insulation to prevent
material exposure to air
currents that may remove
insulation.
