Wall Insulation

Product Description

EcoWool, the formaldehyde free range of glass mineral wool insulation, manufactured for Termico by PGF Insulation, employs an exciting new binder that is free of formaldehyde, phenol or any other artificial chemicals. Once installed, EcoWool acts as a highly effective barrier to heat flow, keeping your building cool during hot weather. It combines cost efficiency with the highest standard of insulation performance when installed in either wood, cement board or steel stud partition and in ceiling system applications.

Advantages of EcoWool

Improves indoor air quality

Formaldehyde free binder reduces the overall formaldehyde exposure. Formaldehyde free insulation means a better smelling indoor environment and less formaldehyde in the air.

Retains shape and form

The EcoWool batt has the advantage of being incredibly soft to the touch but retains its form and shape better than other soft touch batts in the market place. This is a definite advantage when installing to walls and ceilings.

Sustainable Product

Satisfying the growing indoor air quality (IAQ) needs, uses no ozone depleting products (ODP) in manufacture and has low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) content.

Optimal fibre diameter

Optimal fibre diameter produces more air chamber thus enhancing the insulating performance.

Better fibre network

Fine, longer and evenly distributed fibre network helps in creating better tensile strength allowing the insulation to demonstrate superior durability , flexibility and feeling much softer.

Less dusty and less itchy
Specifically engineered to produce a comfortable and less dusty insulation. The insulation creates a pleasant work experience by reducing the tingling feeling during installation.

Mould Resistant
Does not encourage growth of mould, fungus or bacteria

Biosolubility
EcoWool is produced using bio-soluble fibres. Biosoluble fibres have been extensively researched and shown to pose no long term health risks.

Corrosiveness

Chemically inert. Will not cause or accelerate corrosion of steel, stainless steel, copper or aluminum due to its specifically inorganic and mineral composition.

Reduce sound transmission
Exceptional sound absorbing properties, designed to reduce transmission of unwanted noise, EcoWool is ideal for drywall partition systems for rooms and offices in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
