Prodex insulation for icebox?
I am probably missing something but in researching insulation for my icebox rebuild I came across a product called prodex total installation. Anyone have any experience with this product?

Now first off I am not a very smart guy especially when it comes to insulation but What I don't understand is how this product can claim that it has an R-value of 16 yet it has only 13/16 of an inch thickness.The company claims that this R-value of 16 comes from 5 mm of closed cell polyethylene foam covered on both sides with aluminum foil facing.

Sounds fishy to me. What am I missing? If it is the real deal it sure wouldn't be hard to get my icebox to R-30!
