Foam-Control MAX™ Concrete Applications
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 Concrete Application 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
- Excellent adhesion to concrete
- Retains R-value and strength after freeze-thaw cycling
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.
