Knauf Insulation – Innovation and Development


All over the world today, there are many manufacturers of insulation materials that are well-known to users and professional installers in the insulation business. Knauf insulation had been leading the pack for years now. To date, they are still investing on developing new insulation materials that could be better than the current ones.  

The company’s reputation had rested well on the quality of its products that consists of high-quality mineral wool (both glass and rock) blowing wool, and other products made of extruded polystyrene.
Currently, it has introduced new additions to its family innovative materials that are environment-friendly.

The new lightweight materials have been developed with high water retention capacity. The design is geared fro green roofs, landscapes and horticulture applications.  

Expertise

With its broad range of solutions and comprehensive expertise, the company had been supporting and imparting advice to their customers regarding their various products. These are the impartial advice on solutions and applications to some on-the-spot situations at the workplaces.   

They have been known to be strong in the industry and well-represented by their various products like the mineral wool, or XPS for use on residential and commercial structures or the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) industry.

With 30 years of solid reputation under their belt, the company is well-known in more than 35 countries around the world. The primary standout quality is the reliability of their products. To date, they have more than 40 production plants in 15 countries producing the products their company is known for. Some of them are as follows.

Acoustic board / insulation board

This Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE® Technology is made of heavy density glass mineral wool board insulation. The top layer of glass mineral wool is an amber base board, with a heavy black overspray applied for a smooth, tough finish.

The Insulation Board with ECOSE® Technology is both a thermal and acoustical insulation product, bonded with ECOSE Technology.  Usually available plain, it has a factory-applied FSK facing. The PSK is a metalized polypropylene-scrim-Kraft. Sometimes, it has a factory-applied all-service jacket (ASJ).

Pipe Insulation / Eco-Batt insulation

The Pipe Insulation with ECOSE® Technology is a multi-purpose, molded, heavy-density, one-piece insulation. This is specially designed for indoor or outdoor installations. The Redi-Klad comes with factory 5-ply weather and abuse resistant jacketing with self-sealing lap.

The Eco-batt insulation, on the other hand, is a binder born from five years of intensive research. The research had been based on fast renewable bio-based materials. The ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%, without phenol.

Air duct board / duct wrap

The wrap is used to make rectangular duct systems, with two stiffness ratings; both of the types are available with butt edges. The airstream surface discourages the growth of molds, fungi or bacteria.

The atmosphere duct wrap has standards for the industry in sustainable, high-performance, cost-effective insulation solutions.

Overall, Knauf products have the ECOSE Technology which is revolutionary binder chemistry. This makes Knauf products more sustainable with the basis on the renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals.

All of these are from an old reliable, Knauf insulation.
