Knauf KwikFlex Pipe and Tank Insulation with ECOSE® Technology is a 48" wide semi-rigid fiber glass blanket, 2.5 pcf density, in roll form. It is available plain or faced with a factory-applied ASJ, FSK or PSK vapor retarder jacket. The fiber orientation provides excellent compressive strength while maintaining flexibility for ease of installation.
ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals such as phenol, formaldehyde or acrylics. ECOSE Technology reduces Knauf binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors found in traditional fiber glass insulation.
Knauf KwikFlex Pipe and Tank Insulation with ECOSE Technology is typically used on tanks, vessels and large-diameter (greater than 10") pipes. It can be used for any curved or irregular surfaces that require finished characteristics of rigid fiber glass insulation.
