ProPink™ Fiberglas® Blown Insulation

Posted on March 2nd, 2011 by Energy Savers
 in Products Tags: , , 1 Comment

PROPINK® BLOWN insulation is made of virgin PINK FIBERGLAS® insulation. It’s used in new construction and in existing homes, typically in hard-to-reach areas. Since fiber glass insulation is non-combustible and non-corrosive by nature, PROPINK® BLOWN insulation offers significant advantages over other loosefill insulation products:

  • It will not settle or lose its energy-saving* abilities over time.
  • It does not require the addition of fire-retardant chemicals that can promote corrosion of pipes or wires.
  • It will not rot or decay, support fungus or mold growth, or provide sustenance for insects or vermin.

NOTE: PROPINK® BLOWN Insulation is installed by a professional applicator using pneumatic blowing equipment. Refer to the PROPINK® BLOWN Insulation Application Chart for control parameters to ensure that the desired thermal performance is met. This product experiences minimal (less than 1%) settling, with no loss of energy saving R-value over time.

Climate Pro® Fiberglass Insulation

Johns Manville Climate Pro® blow-in-loose-fill fiberglass insulation is a premium alternative to cellulose. Fiber glass is the most widely used insulation because it is a proven, reliable performer providing effective and resilient thermal protection. It’s blown into attics, non-conforming spaces and hard-to-reach areas like corners, edges and framing. When it’s applied to the recommended thickness and specifications, you can be assured that your home is energy-efficient, with minimal heat loss. And unlike cellulose, it won’t settle, decay or provide food for animals or microbes. It’s effective for the life of your home.

Applications

Attics: Can be installed up to R-70 (RSI-12.3) over 1/2″ ceiling drywall without exceeding ceiling weight limits.Non-conforming spaces: Insulation projects out of the hose several feet, filling larger areas and small gaps quickly and completely.

Specification Compliance

CAN/ULC-S702-97, Type 5 ULC-S129-95, Smoulder Resistance Pass
CAN/ULC-S102.2: flame spread 25 or less, smoke developed 50 or less
NBC 1995 Article 9.25.2.2, CSA A101-M
AN4-S114-M80, Non-combustible See CCMC Evaluation Report 12642-L

Performance Advantages

  • Formaldehyde-Free: Will not off-gas formaldehyde in the indoor environment.
  • Thermal Efficiency: Provides effective resistance to heat transfer. Unlike cellulose products, Climate Pro® settles only 1 to 3 percent, for no loss of R-value (RSI) after installation.
  • Sound Control: Reduces transmission of sound through attics and floor/ceiling assemblies.
  • Fire-resistant and non-combustible: (See Specification Compliance)
  • Non-Corrosive: Does not accelerate corrosion of pipes, wiring or metal studs.
  • Durable: Will not rot, mildew or otherwise deteriorate. Unlike cellulose, Climate Pro® will not hold moisture and will not suffer permanent loss of R-value (RSI).
  • Fast, Clean Applications: Quickly insulates attics or spaces of any size or shape without cutting or fitting, for minimal scrap and low dust levels.
  • Complete Coverage: Effective in tight spaces, areas with large amounts of cross-bridging or areas with small nooks and crannies.
