Knauf Canadian Metal Building Insulation with ECOSE^® Technology


Description

Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation with ECOSE Technology is a resilient, flexible unfaced blanket insulation made from inorganic fibers bonded by ECOSE Technology. The blanket is suitable for application of facings and has sufficient tensile and bond strength for normal handling by the fabricator and contractor. The blanket may also be used unfaced as additional insulation to fill voids in wall and roofs of metal buildings.

ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary new binder chemistry that makes Knauf Insulation products even more sustainable than ever. It is based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals traditionally used in fiberglass insulation products. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.

When Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation is faced with a suitable vapor retarder, it can be installed in exterior wall and roof surfaces of pre-engineered buildings. The product may be used unfaced to fill voids in walls and roof cavities of pre-engineered buildings.

• Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation has excellent thermal properties and reduces the building's operating costs for heating and air conditioning

• Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation is identified by manufacturer and R-value printed on the product

• Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation will not rot, mold or deteriorate and will not provide sustenance for vermin, rodents or insects

Carbon negative: meaning Knauf thermal insulation products recover the energy that it took to make them in just hours or a few days, depending on the application. Once installed, the product continues to save energy and reduce carbon generation as long as it is in place.

Fiber glass insulation with ECOSE Technology contains three primary ingredients:

• Sand, one of the world's most abundant and renewable resources
• Post-consumer recycled bottle glass
• ECOSE Technology which reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%
