Description
Knauf KN Series Insulation with ECOSE Technology is an amber
blanket of glass fibers bonded with ECOSE Technology.
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
fiberglass insulation products. ECOSE Technology reduces binder
embodied energy and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics
or artificial colors.
Packaging
KN Series Insulation is placed in a poly bag, vacuum packaged
and slipped into a poly sleeve. The end of the bag is closed with a
plastic tie.

Applications
Knauf KN Series products with ECOSE Technology are used as
thermal and/or acoustical insulation in the appliance, equipment,
industrial, commercial and marine markets up to 650°F (271°C).
Fiber Glass and
Mold
Fiber glass insulation will not sustain mold growth. However,
mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and
contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been
exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold it must be
discarded. If the material is wet but shows no evidence of mold, it
should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing
degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.
Notes
The chemical and physical properties of Knauf KN Series with
ECOSE Technology represent typical average values determined in
accordance with accepted test methods. The data is subject to
normal variations. The data is supplied as a technical service and
is subject to change without notice. References to numerical flame
spread ratings are not intended to reflect hazards presented by
these, or any other material under actual fire conditions.
