Who makes Rmax?

the Sika Corporation
In January of 2017, Rmax became part of the Sika Corporation, a specialty chemicals company with a leading position in the development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protection in the building sector and automotive industry.

What is the highest R-value foam insulation?

Polyisocyanurate: Known as polyiso for short, polyisocyanurate foam has the highest R-value per inch (R-6.5 to R-6.8) of any rigid insulation. This type of rigid foam usually comes with a reflective foil facing on both sides, so it can also serve as a radiant barrier.

What is Rmax insulation?

Rmax insulation (Polyiso insulation) Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) is a closed-cell, rigid foam board insulation that is bonded to facers on both sides.

Is Rmax fire rated?

Rmax ECOMAXci® FR Ply is a Class A energy-efficient thermal insulation board composed of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam core with glass fiber reinforced aluminum facers on both sides bonded to 5/8” or 3/4” fire retardant treated plywood.

What is the R-value of Rmax?

Foundation Solution. Polyiso has a high R-value per inch (R-13.1 at 2”), effectively reduces foundation energy loss, provides excellent moisture resistance & offers exceptional compressive strength.

What is Rmax made of?

Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) is a closed-cell, rigid foam board insulation consisting of a foam core sandwiched between two facers. The facers are composed of various organic and inorganic materials. It is used in over 70% of commercial and residential markets for both wall and roof applications.

What is the R value of Rmax?

Is polyisocyanurate insulation flammable?

Polyiso insulation, like wood and other organic building materials, is combustible. Therefore, it should not be exposed to an ignition source of sufficient heat and intensity (e.g., flames, fire, sparks, etc.) during transit, storage or product application.

Is Polyiso insulation fire resistant?

Polyiso insulation delivers a high level of inherent fire resistance when compared to other foam plastic insulations due to its unique structure of strong isocyanurate chemical bonds.

Can you paint Rmax insulation?

If preferred, the surface of the insulation board can be painted. Rmax recommends a quality grade acrylic latex paint. While primer is not generally required, consult the paint manufacturer and/or industrial paint supply for recommendations and best practices.
