Gentlemen. I just got off the phone with Mike Swinton, the head researcher of this study at NRC. We had a long talk and concluded that the best way to handle the questions you raised, and the more you’ll want answered,about NRC’s findings, was to have you contact Mike directly at NRC (National Research Center)Canada.The subject is too involved and is best handled by him.
He said he stands by his findings. He added that there has never been a prohibition against using EPS below ground in Canada.XPS was not tested because of some communication? pronblems with XPS manufacturers.
Tedd stressed the importance of distinguishing between Type 1 and Type II. Mike raised an interesting question> If the two types are manufactured from the same basic resin, and the only difference between the two types is R-value and density, what is the “magic” ingredient that supposedly makes Type II superior to TypeI?
M ike may be reached by phone at (613) 993-9708, or by e-mail at [email protected]. He also said a paper on the testing will be available shortly. GeneL.
