Knauf ET Panel
Description
Knauf Elevated Temperature Panel 1000° is a semi-rigid thermal
insulation board (2.4 PCF, 38.4 kg/m3) made from highly
resilient, inorganic glass fibers bonded by a high-temperature
thermosetting resin.
Application
Knauf Elevated Temperature Panel 1000° is suitable for use in
industrial heating applications to 1000°F (538°C), such as
high-temperature panel systems for ducts and precipitators,
boilers, vessels and industrial ovens. It is ideal for use in metal
mesh blankets.

Application and Specification Guidelines
Precautions
- During initial heat-up to operating temperatures above 350°F
(177°C), a slight odor and some smoke may be given off as a portion
of the bonding material used in the insulation begins to undergo a
controlled decomposition.
- If natural convection is not adequate in confined areas, forced
ventilation should be provided in order to protect against any
harmful fumes and vapors that might be generated.
Storage
- Protect material from water damage or other abuse. Cartons are
not designed for outside storage. Vacuum packaged material can be
stored outside if care is taken not to puncture the polybag.
Preparation
- Apply the product on clean, dry surfaces.
Application
- There is no heat-up cycle required for Knauf ET Panel
1000°.
- The product should be secured with welded pins and washers, or
studs and washers, and covered with sheet metal. An alternate
method entails covering the insulation with a metal mesh and
insulating cement, canvassing, and painting.
- Pins and washers shall be located a maximum of 4" (102 mm) from
each edge and spaced no greater than 16" (406 mm) on center.
- Care should be taken to avoid over compressing the insulation
with the retaining washer.
- Dual-layer installation with staggered joints is recommended
for applications where temperatures meet or exceed 550°F (288°C)
and designed thickness is over 3" (76 mm).
- When using the product at 1000°F (538°C), it is recommended
that no more than 6" (152 mm) thickness be used.
Caution
Fiber glass may cause temporary skin irritation. Wear
long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, head covering, gloves, and
eye protection when handling and applying material. Wash with soap
and warm water after handling. Wash work clothes separately and
rinse washer. A disposable mask designed for nuisance type dusts
should be used where sensitivity to dust and airborne particles may
cause irritation to the nose and throat.
