EarthWool™ Ceiling and Wall Thermal Battsalt

Description

Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool™ Wall and Ceiling Batts are made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibres bonded by ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. ECOSE® Technology reduces Knauf Insulation binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or
artificial colours found in traditional glasswool insulation.

Application

EarthWool™ Wall and Ceiling Batts provide a cost-effective thermal and acoustical barrier
for energy-efficient construction. The batts’ consistent quality, low dust, and clean-cutting resilient
wool makes installation fast. EarthWool™ Wall and Ceiling Batts can be used in timber and metal
frame applications in residential structures. These applications include thermal and acoustical
treatments to walls, ceilings and floors. Knauf Insulation offers EarthWool™ Wall and Ceiling
Batts in a wide range of sizes and R-values.

ECOSE Technology

Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a formaldehyde-free
binder made from rapidly renewable bio-based materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals which
is up to 70% less energy intensive. The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulation’s glass
and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal,
acoustic or fire performance. EarthWool™ products made with ECOSE® Technology contain no dye or
artificial colours – the colour is completely natural.

Bio-solubility

Glasswool insulation fibres have been tested in laboratory studies according to EC protocols ECB/ TM27 REV. 7,
1998 and shown to be bio-soluable. KNS3 fibres comply with the short term biopersistence test and fulfill the
requirements of Australian and international authorities on biosolubility. EarthWool™ has BRANZ certification.
