Knauf ET Blanket with ECOSE® Technology

ET Blanket with ECOSE

Description

Knauf Elevated Temperature Blanket 1000° with ECOSE® Technology is a lightweight thermal insulation blanket (1.1 PCF, 17.6 kg/m3) bonded by a high-temperature thermosetting resin.

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 nonrenewable 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 Elevated Temperature Blanket 1000° with ECOSE Technolgy is for industrial heating equipment to 1000°F (538°C), such as industrial furnaces, panel systems, marine applications and irregular surfaces.

ECOSE logoFeatures and Benefits

Excellent Thermal Properties

  • Low thermal conductivity ratings to 1000°F (538°C).
  • Increases system efficiency and decreases fuel usage.

Low-Cost Installation

  • Lightweight, and easy to handle and fabricate.
  • Flexibility makes it ideal for flat or irregular surfaces.

Damage Resistant

  • Tough and resilient.
  • Resists damage in shipment, and during and after installation.

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 GREENGUARDChildren 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%

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 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.
  •  For application of Knauf ET Blanket 1000° over 450°F (232°C), double layer application is recommended.

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 and 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.
