Knauf Insulation Atmosphere Duct Wrap with ECOSE technology is a thermal and acoustical insulation blanket made from highly resilient, inorganic glass mineral wool bonded by ECOSE technology. It is available unfaced, with a foil-scrim-kraft (FSK) jacket and with a white metalized polypropylene-scrim-kraft (PSK) jacket. Vapor retarders provide a 2" (51 mm) staple flange on one edge, and the factory-applied facing assures uniform quality.

ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary binder chemistry that enhances the sustainability of our products. The "binder" is the bond that holds our glass mineral wool product together and gives the product its shape and brown color. ECOSE Technology is a plant-based, sustainable chemistry that replaces the phenol/formaldehyde (PF) binder traditionally used in glass mineral wool products. Products using ECOSE Technology are formaldehyde-free and have reduced global warming potential when compared to our products of the past.

Knauf Insulation Atmosphere Duct Wrap is used as external insulation on commercial or residential heating or air conditioning ducts. It is suitable for the exterior of rectangular or round sheet metal ducts and spaces or surfaces where temperature and condensation must be controlled.

Knauf Insulation’s products used for thermal insulating purposes recover the energy that it took to make them in just hours or days, depending on the application. Once installed, the product continues to save energy and reduce carbon generation as long as it is in place.

Key Ingredients

• Recycled glass content, verified every six months by UL Environment
• Sand, one of the world’s most abundant resources
• Our green chemistry initiative ECOSE Technology, which is validated to be formaldehyde-free

Features

• Low "k" factor significantly reduces heat gain or loss when applied with proper compression
• Flexible and lightweight
• Excellent acoustical properties
• Tough and resilient
• Energy conservation, which lowers operating costs
• System efficiency increases; energy usage/ costs decrease
• Conforms easily to flat or irregular surfaces
• Rolls allow for faster installation, lower labor costs
