Did you know? Formaldehyde, often used as a binder ingredient in fiberglass insulation, is considered a known carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. Repeated exposure can put your health at risk. That’s why it’s important to use insulation that meets rigorous standards for indoor air quality.

Knauf Performance+® fiberglass insulation is made from natural ingredients, including ECOSE®, a proprietary formaldehyde-free, plant-based binder. It’s one of the many reasons the portfolio is Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certified and Verified Healthier AirTM.

Another plus? It’s fabricator friendly. That means it’s lightweight and easier to handle, cut and install.
