Insulation that gives you the feel good factor
Knauf Insulation glass and rock mineral wool products made with ECOSE® Technology don't look or feel like any insulation you've ever experienced. That's because the natural brown colour represents a level of sustainability and handling never before achieved. The colour comes from ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary, new sustainable binder born from 5 years of intensive research. Made from rapidly renewable organic materials rather than oil based chemicals commonly used in other insulation products, ECOSE® Technology reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%.
Combined with the brown colour comes a new 'super soft' feel, which in conjunction with the same reliable thermal and acoustic performance you have come to expect from glasswool, result in the next generation of energy saving insulation. Knauf Insulation products with ECOSE® Technology are as good as our traditional mineral wool insulation - only better . . . naturally!
With the trend towards environmentally responsible and 'formaldehyde free' specifications (e.g. London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games Product Sourcing Guide), Knauf Insulation products with ECOSE® Technology build on the already exceptional environmental credentials of glasswool. Made using sand and recycled glass bottles combined with ECOSE® Technology, Knauf Insulation's new glasswool does not contain artificial colours or added formaldehyde, resulting in environmental credentials above our already A+ rated products in the Green Guide, and also in full compliance with 'formaldehyde free' specifications.
