Does EPS ‘off gas’?
EPS does not off-gas. Fox Blocks forms do not and never have contained any CFC or HCFC products. The forms are made by a steam process that utilizes ‘pentene gas’ as a blowing agent. The blowing agent dissipates from the product within 48 hours of manufacturing. Fox Blocks forms are odorless, do not deteriorate, and do not off gas.

Integrated Design in Architecture and Construction
In the field of architecture and construction, integrated design is a powerful solution that tackles the inefficiencies of traditional isolated processes. This approach combines different project elements under a unified vision, and proves particularly effective with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) like those from Fox Blocks. By using ICF, the building process becomes more efficient and collaborative.
