EarthWool™ Ceiling and Wall Thermal Batts
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.
