Owens Corning has reportedly launched a new range of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam products.
According to the company, its Foamular Next Generation Extruded (NGX) incorporates a blowing agent that can deliver a 90% reduction in global warming potential (GWP) without sacrificing product performance.
‘The investment in developing a product that meets and exceeds the stringent regulations going into effect next year reflects Owens Corning’s commitment to offering smart building materials that merge the highest levels of performance and sustainability,’ said Jose Manuel Canovas, general manager, North America, XPS Foam.
Owens Corning says that the foam is Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Listed and Factory Mutual (FM) Approved, with a low GWP that ensures compliance with regulations set to take effect in Canada and some US states in January 2021.
