Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free™ Fiber Glass Insulation JM FORMALDEHYDE-FREE " FIBER GLASS INSULATION JM Formaldehyde-free™ fiber glass building insulation offers superior thermal and acoustical performance— and it improves indoor air quality because it's made without formaldehyde. Why is that important? Because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends limiting exposure to formaldehyde as much as possible, and the California Air Resources Board, a division of the California EPA, recommends that homeowners, builders and architects use building materials and insulation made without formaldehyde when building a home or remodeling. JM is the only company in the industry with a complete line of fiber glass building insulation made without formaldehyde. Visit specJM.com for more information PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Johns Manville Kraft-Faced insulation is a lightweight thermal and acoustical fiber glass insulation made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with an acrylic thermosetting binder. The kraft facing can serve as an integral vapor retarder AVAILABLE FORMS • Pre-cut batts - fit standard wall cavities and are faster to install than roll products • Rolls - can be cut to fit any size cavity and installed in any part of a building • Wood frame construction - residential homes and light commercial buildings • Metal frame construction - commercial buildings • Pre-manufactured homes - modular or manufactured housing • Engineered wood construction - assemblies framed with 12" to 19.2" (305 mm to 488 mm) on-center cavities, wide-spaced wood trusses or I-joists • Interior wall sound control - interior walls and floor and ceiling assemblies (for sound class ratings for wall assemblies, see the appropriate STC values data sheet for either steel or wood framing) Kraft-faced insulation cuts easily with an ordinary utility knife. Stapling tabs are provided for attachment to wood framing. The insulation can also be installed with fasteners or simply pressed in place between studs or joists. The kraft facing on this product will burn and must not be left exposed. It must be covered with gypsum board or another approved interior finish. Where an exposed application is required, use FSK-25 flame-resistant faced insulation Note: In colder climate areas, vapor retarders (whether attached to the insulation or applied separately) are often placed toward the heated or conditioned side of the wall. This is done to reduce water vapor penetration into the wall from the building interior. Conversely, in predominantly hot, humid climates ocal practices often call for placing the vapor retarder toward the outside of the wall cavity. Check your ocal building codes for vapor retarder requirements This insulation is compression-packaged for savings in storage and freight costs RECOMMENDED STORAGE AND TRANSPORT Store insulation indoors. Keep insulation clean and dry at all times. When transporting, cover completely with a waterproof tarpaulin as necessary SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE ASTM C 665, Type II, Class C, Category 1 ASTM E 96 Permeability (Kraft) 1.0 Perm Acoustical Fiber Glass Insulation PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES • Improves indoor air quality - because it's made without formaldehyde • Thermally efficient - provides effective resistance to heat transfer with R-values • Controls moisture - kraft facing resists water vapor transmission • Controls sound - reduces transmission of conversations and equipment noises through interior and exterior walls and floor and ceiling assemblies • Noncorrosive - does not accelerate corrosion of pipes, wiring or metal studs • Durable - unaffected by moisture, oil, grease and most acids. It will not rot, mildew or otherwise deteriorate • Resilient- bonded glass fibers will not pull apart during normal applications and resist settling, breakdown and sagging from vibration • Flexible - forms readily around corners and curved surfaces
