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 unfaced insulation is a lightweight thermal and acoustical fiber glass insulation made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with an acrylic thermosetting binder. Where vapor control is required, a separate vapor retarder can be used. 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 wall cavity and installed in any part of a building—especially long unobstructed areas such as attics or crawl spaces. • Wood frame construction - residential homes and light commercial buildings • Metal frame construction - commercial buildings • 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 l-joists • Suspended ceiling systems - sized to fit above 2' x 4' (0.61 m x 1.22 m) ceiling panels • Interior wall sound control - interior walls, floor and ceiling assemblies (for sound class ratings for wal assemblies, see the appropriate STC values data sheet for either steel or wood framing) • Basement wall insulation • Re-insulating attics, crawl spaces • Back-fill above suspended ceiling systems Available in many sizes and R-values, unfaced insulation can be quickly installed for a wide variety of applications. JM unfaced insulation cuts easily with an ordinary utility knife and installs by simply pressing in place between studs or joists. Wire rods, chicken wire or wire may be needed to hold insulation in place in horizontal applications. Unfaced insulation must be protected from the outside elements like wind, rain 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 local practices often call for placing the vapor retarder toward the outside of the wall cavity. Check your loca building codes for vapor retarder requirements. Johns Manville unfaced 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 E 84 Flame Spread 25 or less, Smoke Developed 50 or less 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 up • Controls sound - reduces transmission of sound through exterior and interior walls and floor/ceiling assemblies. Specification Compliance • Noncorrosive - does not accelerate corrosion of pipes, wiring or metal studs • Mold-resistant - does not support mold or mildew. Does not supply a food source for • Resilient- bonded glass fibers will not pul apart during normal applications and resist settling, breakdown and sagging from vibration • Flexible - forms readily around corners and curved surfaces.
