Product catalog summary

Product Overview: Thermafiber® SAFB™ (Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets) are mineral wool batts designed for sound absorption, thermal insulation, and fire protection. They are noncombustible, moisture-resistant, and mold-resistant, providing exceptional sound and noise absorption with an R-Value of 3.7 per inch. These blankets are fire resistant to temperatures above 2,000°F (1,093°C) and contribute to energy conservation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Applications and Benefits: SAFBs are used in UL fire-rated wall and floor-ceiling assemblies, adding Sound Transmission Class (STC) value. They can be installed in both steel and wood stud constructions. The product has contributed to the energy conservation and fire protection of the #7 World Trade Center building, aiding in its LEED® Gold Rating.

Standards and Compliance: SAFB insulation meets several standards, including NFPA 101 for Class A rated interior finish, ASTM C 665 Type I, ASTM E 136 for non-combustibility, and ASTM C 1104 for moisture absorption. It is approved by the New York City Board of Standards & Appeals.

Product Specifications: Available in various thicknesses (1½”-7”) and widths (15¼”-25”), with custom sizes upon request. The product is available in standard and creased options, with recycled content options up to 75% for EPA Choice Fiber.

Installation Guidelines: SAFBs are friction fit into stud cavities and floor joists, with specific instructions for creased SAFBs and ceiling overlayment. Proper installation ensures maximum sound absorption and fire protection.

Technical Data: Acoustical performance is detailed with coefficients at various frequencies, and thermal performance is specified with 'K' and 'R' values per ASTM standards. The product is tested to ASTM C 518 and ASTM E 84 for thermal and fire performance.

Additional Information: Thermafiber provides technical and engineering assistance, including CAD drawings and LEED Credit Information. For further details, contact their technical services department or visit their website.
