Knauf Performance+™ CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly®

Article content provided by Knauf Insulation.

Knauf Insulation, Inc. announced the highly anticipated launch of its HVAC fiberglass insulation product line, Knauf Performance+. This product line is the first of its kind to be CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® and the only HVAC fiberglass insulation line that is formaldehyde-free. It boasts low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) levels, which is known to significantly reduce the risk of asthma and lower allergy triggers.

In a world where indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air (EPA), improving indoor air quality is critical. Childhood asthma remains the leading cause of disease-related school absenteeism, resulting in more than 10 million missed school days annually.

Knauf’s commitment to indoor air quality is long-standing, demonstrated by pioneering bio-based, formaldehyde-free binder ECOSE®, and the company’s status as the first building products manufacturer to achieve GREENGUARD certification. By the end of 2025 Knauf commits to eliminating formaldehyde from all its remaining products.

Performance+ Duct Liner is a flexible, mat-faced insulation bonded with ECOSE Technology. It is faced with a tightly bonded mat to give the airstream a smooth, tough surface, resisting damage during installation and operation. Airstream surface mat facing is treated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent to aid in the prevention of fungal and bacterial growth. Performance+ Duct Liner also provides an optimum combination of efficient sound absorption, low thermal conductivity, and minimal airstream surface friction.
