Knauf Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE^® Technology


Description

Knauf Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE Technology is a heavy density fiber glass board insulation bonded with ECOSE Technology. The base board is amber with a black polymer top layer of glasswool, and a black overspray applied to provide a smooth, tough finish.

ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals such as phenol, formaldehyde or acrylics. ECOSE Technology reduces Knauf binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors found in traditional fiber glass insulation.

Knauf Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE Technology is designed for use as acoustical insulation and/or a visual barrier on walls and ceilings, where system design requires a rigid product and where additional strength and abuse resistance are required. The black surface provides a visual barrier with an aesthetic appearance, in both wall and ceiling applications. The product is typically used where framing members are not present.

• Reduces airborne sound transmission
• Significantly improves STC ratings of wall configurations

Carbon negative: meaning Knauf thermal insulation products recover the energy that it took to make them in just hours or a few days, depending on the application. Once installed, the product continues to save energy and reduce carbon generation as long as it is in place.

Fiber glass insulation with ECOSE Technology contains three primary ingredients:

• Sand, one of the world's most abundant and renewable resources
• Post-consumer recycled bottle glass
• ECOSE Technology which reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%

• Does not exceed 25 Flame Spread, 50 Smoke Developed when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84, CAN/ULC S102-M88, NFPA 255 and UL 723

• Maximum 250°F (121°C)

• Does not support microbial growth

• Less than 3% by weight

• Maximum 4000 fpm (1219 mpm)

• Knauf Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE Technology is packaged in cartons that offer excellent protection from abuse, dust and moisture
• Cartons are unitized for easy handling and storage
• Knauf Black Acoustical Board with ECOSE Technology is used as acoustical insulation and/or visual barrier, where system design requires a rigid product

Knauf Insulation products with ECOSE Technology are certified for indoor air quality as a low emitting product by The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute to both the GREENGUARD Certification Program^SM and the more stringent GREENGUARD for Children and Schools^SM standard. http://www.greenguard.org/
