Knauf Insulation Natural Mineral Wool is manufactured from naturally occurring and/or recycled raw materials, and bonded using a bio-based technology free from formaldehyde, phenols, acrylics and with no artificial colours, bleach or dyes added

Home » ECOSE ^® Technology

Knauf Insulation mineral wool products made with ECOSE ^® Technology don't look or feel like any insulation you've ever experienced. It uses revolutionary, new, formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals commonly used in other insulation products. ECOSE Technology, bio-based binder born from 5 years of intensive research brings super soft feel and naturally brown colour to the new generation of mineral wool insulation. The natural brown colour represents a level of sustainability and handling never before achieved.

With the trend towards environmentally responsible and 'formaldehyde free' specifications Knauf Insulation products with ECOSE Technology build on the already exceptional environmental credentials of glasswool. Knauf Insulation's new glasswool does not contain artificial colours or added formaldehyde.

Combined with the brown colour comes a new 'super soft' feel, which in conjunction with the same reliable thermal and acoustic performance and fire resistance you have come to expect from glasswool, result in the next generation of energy saving insulation. Knauf Insulation products with ECOSE Technology are as good as traditional mineral wool insulation - only better ... NATURALLY!

We're so confident that our new insulation is clearly better that we've decided to put it in transparent packaging.
