The instructions for a panel I need to glue say use a solvent free

I used one to stick a load of polystyrene to my shed roof as insulation
made sure I got the solvent-free version as I suspect the normal kind
would have melted the polystyrene.
As for how you tell, the solvent-free ones have a special giveaway code
written on the tube - it says "solvent free".
This, for example
