ACH Foam Technologies announced Foam-Control MAX graphite polystyrene (GPS), a superior rigid foam insulation that is well-suited to any vertical construction application where a high-performance building envelop is desired. Foam-Control MAX is a premium-grade architectural insulation developed to achieve an R5 (R-Value) at 1 1/16th inches thick without the decrease in R-value performance associated with XPS over the life of the product.
“Foam-Control MAX presents an innovative synthesis of materials to achieve the next-generation of high-performance rigid foam insulation,” says Tom Huempfner, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ACH Foam Technologies. Foam-Control MAX GPS is comprised of many small pockets of air within a polymer matrix containing graphite. The graphite reflects radiant heat energy like a mirror, increasing the material’s resistance to heat flow.
