Description
JM Formaldehyde-free thermal and acoustical insulation is made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin.
Features
JM Formaldehyde-free thermal and acoustical insulation can be used in a wide variety of wood frame, engineered wood and steel frame construction applications, including:
New Construction: residential homes and commercial buildings interior and exterior walls, floors and ceilings for thermal and sound control, as well as basement wall insulation.
Sound Control: reduces transmission of sound through exterior and interior walls and floor or ceiling assemblies.Superior Performance: bonded glass fibers are dimensionally stable and will not slump within the wall cavity, settle or break down during normal applications
Durable Inorganic Glass: will not rot, mildew or deteriorate and is noncorrosive to pipes, wiring and metal studs
Environmental and Sustainability

Design Considerations
Kraft and standard foil facings on this product will burn and must not be left exposed. It must be covered with gypsum board or another approved interior finish. Where an exposed application is required, use FSK-25 flame-resistant faced insulation. In colder climate areas, vapor retarders (whether attached to the insulation or applied separately) are often placed toward the heated or conditioned side of the wall. This is done to reduce water vapor penetration into the wall from the building interior. Check your local building codes for vapor retarder requirements.
