Knauf ET Batt and HD Blanket with ECOSE® Technology
Description
Knauf ET Batt 1000° and Knauf ET HD Blanket 1000° with
ECOSE® Technology are semi-rigid thermal insulations
(1.6 pcf, 25.6 kg/m3), 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 fiber
glass insulation products. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied
energy and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or
artificial colors.
Application
Knauf ET Batt 1000° and Knauf ET HD Blanket 1000° with ECOSE
Technology are used in high-temperature marine applications,
industrial furnaces, boilers, vessels and industrial ovens, where
lighter-weight insulation is needed or flexible and/or semi-rigid
high-temperature
insulations are needed for irregular surfaces.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Thermal Properties
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Increase system efficiency and decrease fuel usage.
Low-Cost Installation
- Lightweight and easy to handle and fabricate.
- Flexibility makes them ideal for flat or irregular
surfaces.
Damage Resistant
- More resistant to abuse than standard ET Blanket.
- Tough and resilient.
- Resist damage in shipment, and during and after
installation.
Custom Sizes
- All items are available in made-to-order sizes.
Low Emitting
- Certified for indoor air quality as a low emitting product by
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute to both the GREENGUARD
Certification ProgramSM and the more stringent
GREENGUARD Children and SchoolsSM standard.
Sustainability
- Carbon negative: meaning Knauf insulation products used for
thermal insulating purposes 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%

Technical Data
Surface Burning Characteristics
- Do not exceed 25 Flame Spread, 50 Smoke Developed when tested
in accordance with ASTM E 84, CAN/ULC S102-M88 and UL 723.
Water Vapor Sorption (ASTM C 1104)
Temperature Limit (ASTM C 411)
- Up to 1000°F (538°C) at a maximum recommended thickness of
6”.
Microbial Growth (ASTM C 1338)
- Does not promote or support the growth of mold, fungi or
bacteria.
Corrosiveness (ASTM C 665)
- Will not accelerate corrosion of aluminum, steel or
copper.
Corrosion (ASTM C 1617)
- The corrosion rate in mils/yr will not exceed that of the 1 ppm
chloride solution.
Application and Specification Guidelines
Precautions
- During initial heat-up to operating temperatures above 350°F
(177°C), a slight odor and some smoke may be given off as a portion
of the bonding material used in the insulation begins to undergo a
controlled decomposition.
- If natural convection is not adequate in confined areas, forced
ventilation should be provided in order to protect against any
harmful fumes and vapors that might be generated.
Storage
- Protect material from water damage or other abuse. Protect from
welding sparks and open flame. The material may be stored outside
if the packaging is not damaged.
Preparation
- Apply the product on clean, dry surfaces.
Application
- There is no heat-up cycle required for Knauf ET Batt 1000° and
HD Blanket 1000°.
- The product should be secured with welded pins and washers, or
studs and washers, and covered with sheet metal. An alternate
method entails covering the insulation with a metal mesh and
insulating cement, canvassing, and painting.
- Pins and washers shall be located a maximum of 4" (102 mm) from
each edge and spaced no greater than 16" (406 mm) on center.
- Care should be taken to avoid over compressing the insulation
with the retaining washer.
- Dual-layer installation with staggered joints is recommended
for applications where temperatures meet or exceed 500°F
(260°C).
- When using the products at 1000°F (538°C), it is recommended
that no more than 6" (152 mm) thickness be used.
Caution
Fiber glass may cause temporary skin irritation. Wear
long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, head covering, gloves and eye
protection when handling and applying material. Wash with soap and
warm water after handling. Wash work clothes separately and rinse
washer. A disposable mask designed for nuisance type dusts should
be used where sensitivity to dust and airborne particles may cause
irritation to the nose or throat.
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 ET Batt 1000°
and HD Blanket 1000° with ECOSE Technology represent typical
average values determined in accordance with accepted test methods.
The data is subject to normal manufacturing 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
materials under actual fire conditions. Check with your Knauf
