Knauf Insulation Board with ECOSE® Technology


Description

Knauf Insulation Board with ECOSE® Technology is a thermal and acoustical insulation product bonded with ECOSE Technology. It is available plain, with a factory-applied FSK facing, PSK (metalized polypropylene-scrim-kraft) or with a factory-applied all-service jacket (ASJ).

ECOSE Technology

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 fiber glass insulation products.

ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.

Application

Knauf Insulation Board with ECOSE Technology is a versatile product for thermal and acoustical applications such as: heating and air conditioning ducts, power and process equipment, boiler and stack installations, metal and masonry walls, wall and roof panel systems, curtain wall assemblies and cavity walls.

Features and Benefits

Energy Conservation
  • Excellent thermal efficiency results in lower operating costs
Low-Cost Installation
  • Lightweight, easy to handle and fabricate
  • Fast, easy installation lowers labor costs
Noise Reduction
  • Excellent acoustical properties effectively reduce noise
Appearance
  • FSK, PSK and ASJ vapor-retardant facings provide a neat finished appearance
Sustainability

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%
