Description

Knauf Redi-Klad 1000° Pipe Insulation is a multi-purpose, pre-molded, heavy-density, one-piece insulation made from inorganic glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin. Knauf Redi-Klad comes with factory applied 5-ply weather and abuse resistant jacketing with self-sealing lap. Redi-Klad is designed for indoor or outdoor installation on mechanical piping systems with operating temperatures ranging from 0°F to 1000°F (-18°C to 538°C). Properly installed, Redi-Klad provides a zero permeability rating. Redi-Klad is produced in convenient 3' lengths. The installed product offers a finished appearance comparable to embossed aluminum. A matching 4" butt strip is furnished for each 3' section.

Application

Knauf Redi-Klad 1000°F Pipe Insulation is designed for indoor and outdoor installation on industrial and commercial mechanical systems piping. Typical applications include, but are not limited to steam, condensate, process, chilled, and domestic water piping for new or retro-fit power generation, petro-chemical, pulp and paper, institutional, and educational construction projects.

KNAUF INSULATION INTRODUCES ECOSE PRODUCT TO NEW YORK / NEW JERSEY MARKET

ECOSE™ Technology is a revolutionary, new sustainable patented binder technology born from five years of intensive research and development. It is made from rapidly renewable organic materials rather than petroleum-based chemicals commonly used in traditional fiberglass insulation products.

ECOSE™ Technology converts natural, rapidly renewable organic materials into an inert polymer for superior environmental sustainability. And it does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors used to make traditional fiberglass insulation.

By reducing the binder embodied energy up to 70% compared to traditional fiberglass insulation binder, ECOSE Technology reduces the total embodied energy of EcoBatt Insulation by approximately 4%.

Industry-Leading Sustainability

Although traditional Knauf products are very sustainable, products with ECOSE Technology are even better. ECOSE Technology replaced the traditional binder, making EcoBatt Insulation products even more sustainable. They deliver the same exceptional quality, handling characteristics and performance that Knauf products are known for—while creating a new industry benchmark for environmental responsibility and sustainability.

ECOSE Technology is plant and process friendly, too. No changes to Knauf’s proven manufacturing process were required to convert operations to the new technology. Eliminating the non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals found in traditional insulation binders also reduces cost instability associated with those chemicals. And, ECOSE Technology eliminates phenol and formaldehyde from the manufacturing process, which in turn eliminates their plant emissions.
