“Knauf Eclipse Air Duct
Board is a high quality, affordable product that will instantly be

Commercial/Industrial Marketing Manager for Knauf Insulation. “This
product gives the market the product they’ve been looking for.”
Knauf uses a unique blackening process coupling a black glass mat
with a black surface dye to provide a deeper black color than other
standard boards.
Knauf Eclipse Air Duct Board is used in
commercial and residential air handling installations as a cost
effective alternative to sheet metal systems. It is designed for
cooling, heating or dual-temperature service where thermal,
acoustical and condensation control are required. Acoustically
Eclipse Air Duct Board systems reduce noise generated by air
turbulence and mechanical equipment. Knauf Eclipse Air Duct Board
is GreenGuard certified as a low emitting product for IAQ peace of
mind.
Eclipse has a molded shiplap edge on all
thicknesses, which provides easy fabrication by machine or hand,
giving a tighter seal and a stronger joint. Knauf Eclipse Air
Duct Board’s consistent density makes fabrication fast and easy in
the shop and on the job site; and helps prevent tenting, which
means less hassle when handling.
Knauf Eclipse Air Duct Board is a UL listed
rigid fiber glass board faced on one side with a Foil-Scrim-Kraft
(FSK) vapor retarder and with the new black lightweight fiber glass
mat on the airstream surface. Eclipse is available in two stiffness
values—EI-475 and EI-800 and in thicknesses of 1”, 1.5” and 2”.
Both types are available with butt edge or factory molded
male-female shiplap edges on all thicknesses. It has a service
temperature up to 250°F; air velocity at a maximum of 5000 fpm; and
a water vapor transmission rate of less than 0.02 perms. The
airstream surface of Knauf Eclipse Air Duct Board is treated with
an EPA registered, anti-microbial agent that prevents growth of
mold, fungus or bacteria in accordance with ASTM C1071, G21 and
G22.
