INSULATION

is non-combustible and meets all building codes for non-combustibility.

Non-corrosive. Doesn't require fire-retardant chemicals which can leach out, promoting corrosion of pipes, electrical equipment or structural metal attachments.

Doesn't support mold growth. Inorganic glass fibers do not support fungus or mold growth. Will not rot or decay. (Fiber glass is resistant to mold growth, as tested per ASTM C 1338. However, mold growth can occur on building materials, including insulation, when it becomes contaminated with organic material and when water is present. To avoid mold growth on fiber glass insulation, remove any water that has accumulated and correct or repair the source of that water. Insulation that has become wet should be inspected for evidence of residual moisture and contamination. Contaminated insulation should be promptly removed and replaced.)

Won't absorb moisture. Moisture reduces insulation effectiveness. Glass fibers resist moisture build-up.

Air pockets formed between FIBERGLAS strands trap airAttiCat™ Expanding Blown-In PINK FIBERGLAS™ Insulation works on the principle of trapped air pockets. Tiny air pockets trapped in the insulation resist the passage of heat flow—heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Generally, the thicker the insulation, the more air pockets and the greater the insulating power.
