Foster® 65-05 F.R. C.I. Mastic is a high solids, fire-resistant, and weather barrier mastic used for protecting thermal insulation in outdoor service. It is an ideal surface coating for low-temperature insulating applications, replacing conventional asphalt cutback mastic due to its superior fire and weather resistance.
