Description
Owens Corning® EcoTouch® PINK® Fiberglas™ Fiberglass Insulation Owens Corning with PureFiber® Technology is preformed flexible blanket insulation. It is produced in R-values from 11 to 49, with thicknesses ranging from 3 1/2 inches to 14 inches. It is available unfaced or faced with either a kraft or foil vapor retarder.
Features
• Excellent thermal control
• Effective acoustical control
• Long term performance and will not settle nor slump within wall cavities
• With less dust than other fiberglass products, EcoTouch® PINK® Fiberglas™ insulation has excellent stiffness and recovery characteristics1
• Compression packaging from Owens Corning speeds job site handling and installation
NOTE: According to 2010 clinical trial conducted in Toronto, Canada by Ducker Worldwide on behalf of Owens Corning Insulation Systems, LLC.
Applications
• Wood-framed wall, floor and roof/ceiling cavity wall
assemblies
• Metal-framed wall and floor cavity wall assemblies
• Furring strips installed on the interior surface of
basement walls
• Interior surfaces of the basement and unvented crawl space foundation walls.
Design Considerations
• For optimum insulation performance the building thermal barrier (insulation) should be in continual alignment with the building air barrier. In framed cavities, the product thickness should match the depth of the framing members.
• Follow the local, applicable building code(s) to determine the need for and placement of a vapor retarder.
• Do not install insulation on top, or within 3 inches of a recessed light fixture unless the fixture is labeled as “insulation contact” (IC) rated.
• Kraft and standard foil facings will burn and cannot be left exposed. Install facings in substantial contact with the assembly finish material. Protect from open flame or other heat sources.
Standards, Codes Compliance
• Manufactured in compliance with ASTM C 665
• Federal Specification HH-I-521F has been canceled and is replaced by
ASTM C 665
• Classified non-combustible when tested in accordance with ASTM E 136
• Unfaced EcoTouch® PINK® Fiberglas™ insulation is acceptable for use in ICC building construction types I through V; kraft and foil-faced EcoTouch®
PINK® Fiberglas™ insulation is acceptable for use in ICC building construction types III, IV, and V
• Certified to meet California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Chapter 12-13,
Article 3, “Standards for Insulating Material”

Notes
Fiberglass products may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to the mechanical abrasion effects of fibers, a condition that is completely reversible. Owens Corning does not recommend the use of unfaced EcoTouch® PINK® Fiberglas™ Insulation in exposed applications where it will be subject to routine human contact due to this potential temporary irritation.
