| DESCRIPTION |
Co. is launching a microencapsulation technology designed for interior building materials such as gypsum board and intended to cut energy costs and increase room comfort. The acrylic capsules, are filled with wax that melts at 78.5 °F. When used in building materials, the capsules absorb room heat as interior temperatures start to climb above the wax's melting point. They release the heat when the temperature falls. Co. says the thermal capacity of a 0.5-inch-thick plaster barrier filled with 30% prodt. is about equivalent to that of a 6-inch brick wall.
