ECOSE^® Technology is a revolutionary, new sustainable proprietary binder technology born from five years of intensive research and development. It is based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than petroleum-based chemicals commonly used in traditional fiberglass insulation product binders.

ECOSE Technology converts natural, rapidly renewable bio-based materials into an inert polymer for superior environmental sustainability. And it does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.

By reducing the binder embodied energy up to 70% compared to our traditional fiberglass insulation binder, ECOSE Technology reduces the total embodied energy of EcoBatt® Insulation by approximately 4%.

Industry-Leading Sustainability

Although traditional Knauf products are very sustainable, products with ECOSE Technology are even better. ECOSE Technology replaced our traditional binder, making EcoBatt Insulation products even more sustainable. They deliver the same exceptional quality, handling characteristics and performance that Knauf products are known for—while creating a new industry benchmark for environmental responsibility and sustainability.

ECOSE Technology is plant and process friendly, too. No changes to Knauf’s proven manufacturing process were required to convert operations to the new technology. Eliminating the non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals found in our traditional insulation binders also reduces cost instability associated with those chemicals. And, ECOSE Technology eliminates phenol and formaldehyde from the manufacturing process, which in turn eliminates their plant emissions.
