Metal Building Insulation with ECOSE® Technology


Description

Knauf Metal Building Filler Insulation with ECOSE Technology is a resilient, flexible unfaced blanket insulation made from inorganic fibers bonded with ECOSE Technology. The filler blanket is designed for use as a thermal and acoustical insulation to fill voids in walls and roofs of metal buildings. It is not suitable for application of facings and does not meet the requirements of NAIMA 202-96.

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 does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.

Application

Knauf Metal Building Filler Insulation with ECOSE Technology is used as unfaced thermal and acoustical insulation to fill voids in walls and roofs of metal buildings. The product is not suitable for application of facings.

Features and Benefits

Energy Conservation

  • Metal Building Filler Insulation with ECOSE Technology has excellent thermal properties and reduces the building's operating costs for heating and air conditioning
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%
