Description & Uses
• Flexible, semi-rigid and rigid rectangular boards formed from inorganic
glass fibers with a thermosetting resin binder.
• 701, 702, 711 – Lightweight, resilient insulation in a sheet form,
used on vessels with irregular surfaces where an exterior finish will be
supported mechanically.
• 703, 704 – Semi-rigid boards for use on equipment, vessels and air
conditioning ductwork. Available with factory-applied FRK or ASJ
vapor retarding facings.
• 705 – High-strength, rigid board for use on equipment where high
abuse resistance and good appearance are required. Available with
factory-applied FRK or ASJ vapor retarding facings.
• 707 – For acoustical wall panels and specialized ceiling applications.
Features & Benefits
• Save energy and reduce heat transfer.
• Available in various densities to meet specific performance, appearance
and economic requirements.
• Resist damage and maintain structural integrity.
• Excellent acoustic properties.
Availability
• Fiberglas® 700 Series Insulations are available in standard 24" x 48" (610 mm x 1219 mm) boards with thicknesses from 1" (25 mm) to 4" (102 mm) in 1/2" (13 mm) increments. Contact your Owens Corning sales representative for additional sizes.
Application Recommendations
• Types 701 and 702 are lightweight, unfaced, flexible insulations in
batt form for use on vessels having irregular surfaces, where compressive
strength is not a performance criterion.
• Types 703, 704 and 705 are board insulations usually impaled over
welded pins on flat surfaces. Unfaced boards are normally finished with
reinforced insulation cement or weatherproof mastic.
• ASJ- or FRK-faced insulation boards shall be applied using mechanical
fasteners such as weld pins or speed clips. Fasteners shall be located
not less than 3" (75 mm) from each edge or corner of the board. Pin spacing
along the equipment shall be no greater than 12" (300 mm) on center. Additional
pins or clips may be required to hold the insulation tightly against the
surface where cross breaking is used for stiffening. Weld pin lengths must
be selected to ensure tight fit but avoid “oil canning.”
• In multiple layer applications, use faced material on outer layer
only. Where a vapor retarder is required, cover pins and clips with vapor
sealing, pressure-sensitive patches matching insulation facing. Rub hard
with a plastic sealing tool to ensure a tight bond and a vapor seal.
• All insulation joints should be sealed with pressure-sensitive joint
sealing tape to match the insulation facing. Rub hard with a plastic
sealing tool to effect a tight bond. Recommended practice suggests a 3"
(76 mm) wide tape on flat surfaces or where edges are shiplapped and stapled.
Use 5" (102 mm) wide tape in lieu of shiplapping. If insulation is
being applied to sheet metal ductwork, all sheet metal joints must be sealed
prior to insulating. Glass fabric and mastic may be used in lieu
of pressure sensitive tape.
• May be installed in either single or multiple layers up to a maximum
of 6" (152 mm) at temperatures not over 450 °F (232 °C).
