## What is NUDURA ICF?
NUDURA ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) is a 6-in-1 building system that combines formwork, structure, thermal insulation, air barrier, vapor retarder, and attachment strips in a single step. Two panels of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) are connected by a patented web system made of 100% recycled polypropylene, then stacked, reinforced with steel, and filled with concrete.

- Energy Savings: Up to 72% reduction in heating and cooling costs
- Fire Resistance: 4-hour fire rating
- Sound Insulation: STC 50+ (Sound Transmission Class)
- Wind Resistance: Up to 402 km/h (tested under extreme hurricane conditions)
- Blast Resistance: Withstood 50 lbs (22.7 kg) military-grade TNT at 1.8m distance (USMC Quantico test, 2003)
- Seismic Resistance: 8.0+ Richter (verified by EUCENTRE Foundation research, 2024-2025)
- Lifespan: 100+ years
- Pest Resistance: 100% termite and rodent proof
- CO₂ Reduction: 65% lower emissions over building lifetime
- Construction Speed: 50% faster than conventional methods
- Insurance Savings: Up to 25% reduction in premiums
