rigidity, abuse resistance, weather resistance, cleanliness, appearance, oil
or solvent spills or fumes, and flame-spread resistance are factors.
Material Description Aluminum sheets with 11/4 in corrugations and a protective backing on the
interior surface. A more rigid material than Code 716. Finish: smooth or
cross-crimped as specified on order.
Moisture Resistance or Water Impermeable
Vapor Permeability
Resistance to Handling Breakage Good
