Foam-Control™ Cavity Wall Insulation

Next Generation Insulation Powered by Graphite

Foam-Control MAX™ is a next generation insulation product line with a maximum R-value powered by graphite. Foam‑Control MAX is a premium grade insulation manufactured to provide architects, specifiers, distributors, and contractors all the features and benefits inherent in a high quality insulation.

Foam-Control MAX Applications

Foam-Control MAX Cavity Wall Benefits

  • High R-value that never changes and is stable over time
  • High compressive strength of 10, 15, or 25 psi
  • Closed cell insulation with superior moisture resistance
  • High drying potential to rapidly release absorbed moisture
  • Meets NFPA 285 code requirements

Powered by Graphite.

Foam-Control MAX 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 or R-value.

Foam-Control MAX is available in a wide range of standard R-values and thicknesses to meet your needs.
 
R-5, R-7.5, R-10, R-15, R-20
 
Product thicknesses for standard boards are provided in the Foam-Control MAX Thickness & R-value. Project requirements vary, so Foam-Control MAX can be ordered in any R-value thicknesses to meet your needs.

Proven to meet, or exceed, building codes.

Foam-Control MAX is manufactured under an industry leading quality control program monitored by UL and further recognized in UL Evaluation Report UL ER11812-05.

Foam-Control MAX meets ASTM C578, “Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation”.

NFPA 285 Assemblies

A key building code requirement is providing NFPA 285 compliant wall assemblies. Numerous assemblies which include Foam-Control MAX as an insulation component have successfully passed the rigorous NFPA 285.
