Specification Compliance
AS/NZS 4859.1: 2002 Materials used in the Thermal Insulation of Buildings and comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements.
Bio-solubility Glasswool insulation fibres have been tested in laboratory studies according to EC protocols ECB/TM27 REV. 7, 1998 and shown to be biosoluable. KNS3 fibres comply with the short term biopersistence test and fulfill the requirements of Australian and international authorities on bio-solubility. EarthWool® products are BRANZ certified.
Features and Benefits
Proven Performance
• Excellent acoustic properties reduce sound transmission when properly installed in walls, ceiling and floor systems.
• Preferred by professional installers concerned with quality, appearance and productivity.
Superior Handling
• Highly resilient insulation recovers quickly to full thickness for a snug fit and superior finished aesthetics.
• Consistent quality materials feel good, cut easily and install fast.
• Low dust for easier handling and increased productivity.
Convenient Packaging, Easier Handling
• Knauf Insulation EarthWool® HD Batts are packaged in a strong, white poly bag that offers excellent protection from abuse, dust and moisture.
• EarthWool® packages feature easy to follow installation instructions.
• Master bag batt units (containing multiple packs) ensure reduced handling
costs with improved compression – more square metres per bag, more square metres per truck load, fewer trips to the job site and less warehouse spacefor storage.
Superior Service and Support
• Knauf Insulation is focused on providing first class customer service,
producing high quality product and ‘on time in full’ deliveries.
• Knauf Insulation is available from specialist contractors, distributors, stockists and trade merchants.
• Knauf Insulation is backed with a comprehensive range of literature, training,
technical support, field sales teams and web based materials to inform specifiers and customers.
Environmental
EarthWool® HD Batts are free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in the manufacture and content and represent no known threat to the environment. EarthWool® HD Batts’ manufacture has low
impact on the environment and is classified as Zero ODP and Zero GWP.
Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool® products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a formaldehyde-free binder made from rapidly renewable bio-based materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals which is up to 70% less energy intensive.
The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulation’s glass and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance. EarthWool® products made with ECOSE® Technology contain no dye or artificial colours – the colour is completely natural.

EarthWool® High Density Wall Batts
Earthwool Wall and Ceiling Batts
Description
Knauf Insulation’s Earthwool® Wall and Ceiling Batts are made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibres bonded by ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. ECOSE Technology reduces Knauf Insulation binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours found in traditional glasswool insulation.
Application
Earthwool Wall and Ceiling Batts provide a cost-effective thermal and acoustical barrier for energy-efficient construction. The batts’ consistent quality, low dust, and clean-cutting resilient wool makes installation fast. Earthwool Wall and Ceiling Batts can be used in timber frame applications in residential and commercial structures. Knauf Insulation offers Earthwool Wall and Ceiling Batts in a wide range of sizes.
