Knauf Amber Blanket Insulation
Description
Knauf Amber Blanket Insulation is a
lightweight blanket of glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting
resin. The products listed are manufactured single layer. However,
some items with 24" and 48" widths can also be manufactured double
layer. Amber Blanket is used as thermal and/or acoustical
insulation for appliance, equipment, acoustical, industrial,
commercial and marine applications up to 650°F (343°C).

Availability
Amber Blanket is made-to-order and
is available in rolls. For your requirements not listed, contact
your Knauf sales representative.
Packaging
Amber Blanket is placed in a poly
bag, vacuum packaged, and slipped into a poly sleeve. The end of
the tube is closed with a plastic tie.
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 and physical properties
of Knauf Amber Blanket Insulation represent typical average values
determined in accordance with accepted test methods. The data is
subject to normal variations. The data is supplied as a technical
service and is subject to change without notice. References to
numerical flame spread rating are not intended to reflect hazards
presented by these, or any other material under actual fire
conditions.
