DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - May 8, 2012) - ACH Foam Technologies launched a new EPS architectural grade insulation that matches XPS products in compressive strength and R-value, yet costs significantly less. The new product, Foam-Control® Plus+™, has the added advantage of a stronger warranty and superior moisture resistance. It is also available in thicknesses well beyond the ranges offered by XPS products.
"We're excited to offer a premium grade insulation," said ACH Foam's Frank Kiesecker, VP Marketing. "It's designed to give architects, specifiers, and contractors all of the benefits of a high quality insulation: strength, energy efficiency, and superior moisture resistance -- bundled together to equal a budget-friendly product that will help keep project costs on track.
"It's about time the insulation market has an option besides XPS -- and one that we can compare, 'apples to apples,'" added Kiesecker. ACH Foam Technologies offers Foam-Control Plus+ 150, 250, 400, & 600 products with supplemental ASTM C578 physical property information that reflects its high compressive strength and R-values.
Foam-Control Plus+ carries a warranty for 100% of R-value for a full 20 years -- as compared with XPS, which warrants 90% of its R-value. Regardless of thickness, density or application, the warranty for Foam-Control Plus+ is the same. "To top it off," adds Kiesecker, "ACH Foam's EPS product shows better moisture resistance in a real-life setting."
ACH's Foam-Control Plus+ is nationally available. With 8 plants scattered about the U.S., ACH Foam provides Foam-Control Plus+ in 2ft x 8ft and 4ft x 8ft sheets in standardized units so there's no problem with warehousing. The product delivers the best quality at exceptional value.
Used in a wide range of applications, Foam-Control Plus+ is the material of choice for perimeter insulation, under-slab insulation, cavity wall insulation, sheathing, pre-cast concrete applications, green roofs, plaza decks, and waterproofing applications -- which especially benefit from its exceptional strength, energy efficiency, and moisture resistant properties.
