Foam-Control EPS building products are engineered to give

you the greatest possible control for your project applica-

tion: from design and timelines, to materials and costs,

and—ultimately—control over your results. The advantages

to using Foam-Control EPS products include:

• State-of-the-art insulation and energy effi ciency

• Variety of density, thickness, size

• UL QA monitored, tested, certifi ed, listed

• Unlimited fabrication possibilities

Foam-Control EPS is a lightweight yet strong material that

gives architects, designers and builders the freedom and

confi dence to turn their visions into reality.

This looks like a job for expanded polystyrene.

In the construction industry, Foam-Control EPS is among

the most versatile, energy effi cient, and cost effective

insulators available, delivering extremely high, stable

R-values. Depend on Foam-Control EPS to do the job—

practically any job—from the ground up: perimeter founda-

tion and underslab insulation, wall sheathing, EIFS insula-

tion, roof insulation, concrete insulation/void fi ller,

ICF insulation, Geofoam and just about any construction

application you can imagine.

Stands up to the elements, yet it’s good for the environment.

Cost effective thermal design is among the highest priori-

ties in construction. Foam-Control EPS insulation products

are available in a range of densities necessary to provide

energy effi ciency, structural integrity, and cost effective-

ness. They’re proven to lower energy costs, saving both

money and precious resources.

Foam-Control EPS, when used as a component in an

engineered building system, helps to resist some of the

toughest conditions nature can deliver, like rain, snow,

wind, dust, heat and cold.

Foam-Control EPS with Perform Guard.

One of the most destructive forces anywhere is termites.

Foam-Control EPS products can be manufactured with

Perform Guard, a proven and safe additive. that effectively

resists termites.*

Proven to meet, or exceed, building codes.

Foam-Control EPS is manufactured to Quality Control

Program standards monitored by Underwriters Laborato-

ries, Inc. and recognized by national building codes. Foam-

Control EPS manufacturers offer product warranties that

ensure termite resistance, physical properties, and thermal

performance. Foam-Control EPS can

stand up to all industry tests—and has.

No other EPS can say that.

It’s more than a foam. It’s a family.

When you choose Foam-Control EPS, you’re not sending

your order off to some mysterious factory. You’re collabo-

rating with a team of experts who work with you every step

of the way. We’re here to answer your questions, solve your

problems, and do everything we can to make sure your

project proceeds smoothly—and ends successfully.

Foam-Control EPS products are manufactured by AFM

Corporation’s network of licensed manufacturers throughout

North America and the world. AFM licensed facilities

adhere to strict, consistent standards to ensure uniformly

high-quality EPS products.

This network allows us to offer architects, designers and

builders the best of both worlds: the resources of the

country’s largest provider of EPS insulation products and

systems, and the superior attention and customer service

of a local supplier.

CONTROL, NOT COMPROMISE.®

Design Options.

Cost effective design is among the highest priori-

ties for industrial, packaging, and construction appli-

cations. Foam-Control EPS products are available in a

range of Types necessary to provide control of struc-

tural integrity, thermal resistance (R-value), and cost

effectiveness.

Thermal Performance.

The R-value of Foam-Control EPS remains constant and

does not suffer from R-value loss. The closed cell structure

of Foam-Control EPS contains air and not blowing agents

which deplete over time.

Exposure to Water and Water Vapor.

The mechanical properties of EPS are unaffected by mois-

ture. Exposure to water or water vapor does not cause

swelling.

Temperature Exposure/Flame Retardants.

EPS is able to withstand the rigors of temperature cycling,

assuring long-term performance.

Although flame retardants used in the manufacture of EPS

provide an important margin of safety, all EPS products must

be considered combustible.

The maximum recommended long-term exposure tempera-

ture for Foam-Control EPS is 1650F (740C).

Adhesives, Coatings, and Chemicals.

Solvents which attack EPS include esters, ketones, ethers,

aromatic, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions,

among others. If EPS is to be placed in contact with mate-

rials (or their vapors) of unknown composition, pretest for

compatibility at maximum exposure temperature.

Do not install or use EPS with coal tar pitch, highly solvent-

extended mastics, or solvent-based adhesives without

adequate separation.

Quality Assurance/Building Code Compliance.

Foam-Control EPS meets or exceeds the

requirements of ASTM C578, “Standard Speci-

fication for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal

Insulation.” Foam-Control EPS is monitored

for Quality Control and Listed by Underwriters

Laboratories Inc. The International Code

Council Evaluation Service recognizes

Foam-Control EPS for building code compliance.

Please see ICC ES ESR-1006.

Note: Local Building Codes must be followed

regarding thermal barriers.

Resistance to Termites, Mold, and Mildew.

Foam plastic insulations have been shown to become termite

infested under certain exposure conditions. Foam-Control

EPS with Perform Guard® provides

resistance to termite infestation. Please

review literature on Foam-Control

EPS with Perform Guard for complete

information.

EPS will not decompose and will not support mold or

mildew growth. EPS provides no nutrient value to plants or

animals.

Weathering.

Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a

slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light.

This has little effect on mechanical properties. If stored out-

doors, cover EPS with opaque polyethylene film, tarps, or

similar material.

Warranty.

Foam-Control EPS Licensees offer a product warranty

ensuring thermal performance, physical properties, and

termite resistance.
