EarthWool Foil Faced Roof Rolls
Description
Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool® Roof Rolls are intended
for both thermal and acoustical applications, and have
optional foil facing. They 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® Roof
Rolls provide a cost-effective thermal and acoustical barrier
for energy-efficient construction. Their consistent quality,
low dust, and clean-cutting resilient fibres make fabrication
easy and installation fast. EarthWool® Roof Rolls
can be used in new and retrofit applications in residential and
commercial structures, as well as in off or on-site manufactured
housing. These applications include thermal and acoustical
treatments to metal and roof tile applications. The range of roof
insulation can be faced with standard foil laminates or they can be
faced and cut to length according to your specification.

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.

Specification Compliance
AS/NZS 4859.1: 2002 Materials used in the Thermal Insulation of
Buildings and comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA)
requirements.
Bio-solubility
Glasswool insulation fibres have been tested in laboratory
studies according to EC protocols ECB/ TM27 REV. 7, 1998 and
