EPS energy efficient insulation by RMAX Rigid Cellular Plastics  EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) is highly energy efficient. The energy saved over the lifetime of an EPS insulation panel in reduced heating demand, more than compensates for the raw material used in it's production. The effective application of EPS insulation can cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 50%. The energy used in it's manufacture is recovered within six months by the energy saved in the buildings when EPS is used to insulate the building. RMAX EPS products do not contain ozone depleting substances and none is used in it's manufacture. RMAX promotes the use of EPS, with it's superior thermal insulation properties, for the construction of buildings to lower energy requirements and reduce the impact of new buildings on the environment. Recycling EPS EPS products are recyclable and RMAX has established recycling facilities in all of our plants throughout Australia. RMAX is a member of PACIA (Plastics and Chemical industries Association) and helped establish the EPS Industry Group, known as REPSA (Recycling Expanded Polystyrene Australia). RMAX, through REPSA play a major role in facilitating the collection and recycling of EPS in Australia. Energy Efficient Manufacture The manufacture of EPS is a low pollution process. Steam is the key ingredient and the water is used many times. There is no waste in production as all offcuts or rejects are re-used. RMAX - Innovation Working for You RMAX is a company driven by innovation. We have pioneered Rigid Cellular Plastics product technologies, leading the development of innovative product solutions for our customers and international partners. In the Australian building industry, RMAX was the first to introduce termite resistant expanded polystyrene (EPS) - Isolite® Perform Guard® EPS. The exclusive patented technology incorporates a safe, non-toxic inorganic additive that is a deterrent to termites. Identifi ed by its grey colour, this material has been incorporated into ThermaWallPlus™ reinforced EPS exterior cladding to create a unique and valuable material for the building industry. We are committed to working with our customers to deliver high quality creative solutions to construction problems. Contact us and see how our innovative approach using EPS in building construction can help you.
