PAGE 2 INSULATION FOR AIR HANDLING SYSTEMS

FEATURES AND BENEFITS• An EPA-registered biocide in the fiber glass mat

protects the airstream surface from microbial growth and meets requirements of ASTM C 1338, ASTM G 21 (fungi test) and ASTM G 22 (bacteria test)

• R-values as published for EnDuraGold® FIBERGLAS™ Duct Board are superior to those of compressible insulation of equal thickness. Factory control of thickness assures that installed R-values will be as published for the product

• Duct systems built with these boards absorb fan and air turbulence noise; they also reduce popping noises caused by expansion, contraction and vibration. Fabrication and installation are faster

• Thermal/acoustical insulation board plus jacket form a single-component duct system, thus reducing inspection time

• Closures with UL 181A listed pressure-sensitive tape, heat-activated tape, or glass fabric and mastic virtually eliminate air leakage. This saves energy and removes the need for system overdesign

• When fabricated into a duct system, duct board combines excellent thermal and acoustical insulating properties when all joints are scaled with UL 181A listed closures

• Meets the following model codes and most other applicable codes: NFPA 90A/90B, ICC International Mechanical Code, SBCCI, ICBO, BOCA, CABO, Corps of Engineers Guide Spec., NYC MEA #186-69

EnDuraGold FIBERGLAS Duct Board is available in the following forms:

Type 475 1" (25mm) thick Type 800 1" (25mm) thick Type 800 1.5" (38mm) thick Type 1400 2" (51mm) thick

Type designates board stiffness defined by flexural rigidity.Type selection depends on duct size, pressure and reinforcement schedule.The 1.5" (38mm) and the 2" (51mm) thickness provide superiorthermal value.

ENDURAGOLD® FIBERGLAS™ DUCT BOARD

FEATURES AND BENEFITS• When installed in accordance with instructions

so the compression is controlled, SOFTR® All-Service Duct Wrap FIBERGLAS™ Insulation provides specified thermal performance. Assured thermal performance controls operating costs due to reduction of heat loss or gain through duct walls

• Helps control moisture condensation on the ductwork as well as on the outer vapor retarder jacket. This helps maintain insulation efficiency and reduces the likelihood of stained ceilings due to moisture damage

• Contributes to the delivery of conditioned air to occupied spaces at or near design temperatures. By conserving heating and cooling energy, HVAC systems may operate under reduced load

• When installed correctly, complies with model energy codes and standards including ASHRAE 90.1 and 90.2

• Easy to cut and fit to f lat, curved and irregular duct surfaces for a neat, thermally effective insulation blanket

FEATURES AND BENEFITS• Owens Corning QUIETR® Acoustic Duct

Liner and QUIETR® Duct Liner Board absorb noise within the duct, helping create quiet and comfortable environments

• These duct liner products can help reduce operating costs by lowering heat loss or gain through duct walls, conserving energy, and eliminating or reducing the need for external insulation

• Duct systems built with these products absorb fan and air turbulence noise; dramatically reduce popping noises caused by expansion, contractionand vibration. Fabrication and installation are quieter

• The tough interior surfaces make it easier to clean the duct liner using methods and equipment described in North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) Publication AH122, Cleaning Fibrous Glass Insulated Duct Systems: Recommended Practices

• Owens Corning duct liner has a flame spread rating of 25 and a smoke developed rating of 50 when tested in accordance with UL 723. It meets requirements of NFPA 90A/90B for fire resistance

• An EPA-registered biocide in the facing protects the facing from microbial growth and meets requirements of ASTM C 1338, ASTM G 21 (fungi test), and ASTM G 22 (bacterial test)

Type 150 1" (25mm) thick Type 150 1.5" (38mm) thick Type 150 2" (51mm) thick Type 200 .5" (13mm) thick Type 200 1" (25mm) thick Type 200 1.5" (38mm) thick Type 200 2" (51mm) thick Type 300 .5" (13mm) thick Type 300 1" (25mm) thick Type R-4.2 1" (25mm) thick * Type R-6 1.5" (38mm) thick Type R-8 2" (51mm) thick

INDOOR AIR QUALITYAs a member of the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), Owens Corning has participated in extensive studies regarding the impact on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of fiber glass duct board and duct liner products. Information concerning these studies may be found in the following NAIMA publications:

• Fibrous Glass HVAC Duct Systems: Proven Performance

• Glass Fiber Air Transmission Systems: Preventing Moisture Accumulation in Ducts

• An Essential Component of Indoor Environmental Quality... Fiber Glass HVAC Insulations

• Cleaning Fibrous Glass or Lined Sheet Metal Ducts

• Glass Fiber Air Transmission Systems: The Facts About Airborne Fibers

• Facts #25: Glass Fiber Air Transmission Systems—The Benefits and Recommended Use of Fibrous Glass Duct Liner

• Facts #34: Glass Fiber Air Transmission Systems: The Facts About Mold Growth

• Facts #36: Facts About Using Sealants in Fiber Glass Air Handling Systems

• Facts #39: Facts About the Impact of Duct Cleaning on Internal Duct Insulation

• Cleaning Fibrous Glass Insulated Duct Systems

• Duct Cleaning: Let the Buyer Beware

Among the facts covered in these NAIMA publications are the following:

• Fiber glass insulation provides no sustenance for mold to propagate. Fiber glass duct liner prod-ucts meet standard ASTM mold growth tests. In instances where mold was detected, the cause was dust and dirt accumulation from improperly maintained air f ilters along with the presence of water, conditions not normally found in properly designed, installed and maintained duct systems

• Fiber glass duct materials exhibit no long-term fiber erosion due to passage of air through the duct. Tests conducted in accordance with UL 181, Factory-Made Air Ducts and Connectors, confirmed by independent studies, indicate that airborne glass fibers are well within ranges found in ambient air

Specifiers considering the use of Owens Corning duct board or duct liner products may also wish to consult NAIMA publications:

• NAIMA Fibrous Glass Duct Construction Standards Inspection Checklist

• A Comparison of Air Duct Systems Energy Savings and Acoustical Performance

• Fibrous Glass Duct Construction Standards (Fifth Edition)

• Facts #62: Health and Safety Facts for Fiber Glass• Facts #64: Fibrous Glass Duct Systems• Facts #65: Fibrous Glass Duct Liner• Facts #66: Fibrous Glass Duct Wrap

FIBER GLASS HEALTH EFFECTSFiber glass insulation is safe to use when appropriate work practices are followed. It is one of the most extensively studied materials in commerce today. Data on glass fibers is extensive and consistent, and strongly supports the safety of fiber glass manufacturing and use.

Owens Corning FIBERGLAS™ Insulations exposed to the airstream in their applications have been thoroughly evaluated with regard to the erosion of f ibers by a variety of techniques.

None of these methods has demonstrated signifi-cant or continued erosion of fibers after the initial blow-out period to rid the system of construction debris, although the evaluations were conducted at velocities in excess of the service velocity rating. In fact, upon examining systems in use for long periods of time, the duct walls show dust accumula-tion just as would appear on the walls of a duct made of any material. This is the result of a basic

premise of airf low through the duct: The velocity of the air at the duct wall is, by definition, zero.

Product Labeling: The health and safety label located on the package and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be reviewed before installing or removing these products.
