| Enhanced Sustainable Insulation SoftTouch Duct Wrap from CertainTeed  CertainTeed is making it easier for HVAC contractors to ensure optimal indoor comfort with its newly enhanced Sustainable Insulation SoftTouch Duct Wrap. The product offers improvements in cutting and handling that will be sure to please installers, while maintaining the company's proven fiberglass product performance. "There has been an increase in demand for insulation products that are sustainable, offer lower VOCs, and have less itch and dust when being installed," said Jim Voitel, product manager, technical insulation for CertainTeed. "We're pleased to offer a new SoftTouch product that specifically addresses contractors' needs and keeps our commitment to continually improve our high performance line of mechanical insulation products."Sustainable Insulation SoftTouch is a resilient fiberglass blanket-type insulation that provides superior thermal efficiency by reducing unwanted heat loss or gain in both rectangular and round heating, ventilating and air conditioning ductwork. It is available as an unfaced blanket or with an FSK, gray PSK or white PSK vapor retarder facing, which helps to eliminate condensation on cold ductwork surfaces. The product is now manufactured with recycled and renewable content including a plant-based binder that is formaldehyde-free and contains no harsh acrylics, dyes or unnecessary fire-retardant chemicals. The key benefit of the product's new formulation is that SoftTouch generates much less dust—for a low-itch product that's easy on installers. It also helps to ensure optimal indoor air quality and meets GREENGUARD Gold standards for low chemical emissions. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
