Abstract.Extended thermodynamics (ET) is a very important theory: for example, it predicts hyperbolicity and finite speeds of propagation waves. Here its methods are applied to the balance equations suggested by the non relativistic limit of relativistic extended thermodynamics. This paper and the other one presented at this conference, that is ``The Galilean relativity principle for a new kind of systems of balance equations in extended thermodynamics" are two parts of a same work and complete each other.
