Knauf Canadian Metal Building Insulation
Description
Knauf Canadian Unfaced Metal Building
Insulation is a
resilient, flexible blanket insulation
made from inorganic fibers bonded by thermosetting resin. The
blanket is suitable for application of facings and has sufficient
tensile and bond strength for normal handling by the fabricator and
contractor. The blanket may also be used unfaced as additional
insulation to fill voids in wall and roofs of metal buildings.
Application
When Knauf Unfaced Metal Building
Insulation is
faced with a suitable vapor retarder,
it can be
installed in exterior wall and roof
surfaces of preengineered buildings. The product may be used
unfaced to fill voids in walls and
roof cavities of
pre-engineered buildings.
Features and Benefits
Energy
Conservation
- Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation has
excellent thermal properties and reduces the building’s operating
costs for heating and air conditioning.
Identification
- Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation is
identified by manufacturer and R-value printed on the product.
Permanence
- Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation will not
rot, mold or deteriorate and will not provide suste- nance for
vermin, rodents or insects.
Specification Compliance
Knauf Unfaced Metal Building
Insulation complies to the property requirements of the following
specifications:
- HH-I-558C Form B, Class 6
- ASTM C 553 Type I, II
- ASTM C 991 Type I
- ASTM E 136
- CGSB 51-GP-11M Type I

Technical Data
Surface Burning Characteristics
Odor (ASTM C 1304)
- No objectionable odor emission.
Corrosiveness (ASTM C 665)
- Does not accelerate corrosion on steel, copper, or
aluminum.
Resistance to Fungi or Bacteria (ASTM C 1338)
- Does not promote growth of fungi or bacteria.
Water Vapor Sorption (ASTM C 1104)
- Less than 0.2% by volume. Less than 5% by weight.
Microbial Growth (ASTM C 1338)
- Does not promote microbial growth.
Temperature Resistance (ASTM C 411)
Fiber Glass and Mold
Fiber glass insulation will not sustain mold growth. However,
mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and
contaminated with organic materials. Carefully inspect any
insulation that has been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of
mold, it must be discarded. If the material is wet but shows no
evidence of mold, it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it
shows signs of facing degradation from wetting, it should be
replaced. Air handling insulation used in the air stream must be
discarded if exposed to water.
Notes
The chemical physical properties of
Knauf Unfaced Metal Building Insulation represent typical average
values determined in accordance with accepted test methods. The
data is subject to normal manufacturing and testing variations. The
data is supplied as a technical service and is subject to change
without notice. References to numerical flame spread ratings are
not intended to reflect hazards presented by these or any other
materials under actual fire conditions.
Caution
If Knauf Metal Building Insulation is compressed beyond a 5:1
ratio during or after lamination, the product can be damaged.
Knauf Metal Building Insulation products are certified
for indoor air quality as a low emitting product by The GREENGUARD
Environmental Institute
