KNAUF ECOBATT FIBERGLASS BUILDING INSULATION

Knauf EcoBatt Insulation doesn't look like other Knauf insulations. That's because the natural brown color represents a new level of sustainability not previously achieved in these other products.

The color comes from ECOSE Technology, a revolutionary, new, more sustainable binder and the result of 5 years of intensive research. Based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than the non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals commonly used in other insulation products, ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%, and it does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors used to make traditional fiber glass insulation.

EcoBatt Insulation uses sand, one of the world's most abundant and renewable resources, post-consumer recycled bottle glass and ECOSE Technology to create the next generation of sustainable insulation.....naturally from Knauf.

EcoBatt Insulation is certified for indoor air quality as a low emitting product by the GREENGUARD Envionmental Institute, meeting both the GREENGUARD Certification Program (SM) and the more stringent GREENGUARD for Children and Schools (SM) standard. It also passes California CHPS Section 01350.

KNAUF ECOBATT INSULATION

Knauf EcoBatt Insulation products are cost-effective, thermal and acoustical products made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibers bonded with ECOSE Technology. The products are available unfaced or with kraft, foil, or flame-rated FSK-25 (foil-scrim-kraft) foil facings. Consistent quality, low dust and clean-cutting resilient fibers make fabrication easy and installation fast. These products can be used in new and retrofit wood and metal frame applications in residential and commercial structures, as well as in manufactured housing applications. These applications include thermal and acoustical treatments to walls, ceilings and floors.

High Density (HD) batts are available where optimal thermal performance is required and space for insulation is limited, delivering greater R-value in less space
EcoBatt QuietTherm® Insulation has excellent acoustical properties that reduce sound transmission when properly installed in partition walls, ceilings and floor assemblies
EcoBatt Staple-Free Batts are flange-less kraft-faced batts that friction fit between wood studs eliminating the need to staple in place. These batts are designed for use in standard 2" x 4" wood framed construction where the stud spacing is no more that 16" on center
