Re: Styrofoam (wasCork for Mops

[George Slusarczuk <yurko at warwick_net>]

Hello Bill,

I don't know for certain, but I would imagine that building insulation
foam has some fire retardant added. 

What do the different colors indicate? R-value? Fire resistance? Any
architects on the list, who know for certain??

Styrofoam ment for food applications I would deem safe.

Best,

George
