Knauf Insulation is proud to be the first and only company in the world with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) on a pipe insulation product.
Knauf Insulation Earthwool™ 1000° Pipe Insulation is a molded, heavy-density, one-piece insulation made from inorganic glass strands bonded with ECOSE® Technology. It is produced in 3’ lengths with or without a factory-applied jacket.
ASJ+ is the newest generation all-service jacket composed of aluminum foil, reinforced with a glass scrim bonded to a kraft paper interleaving with an outer film layer leaving no paper exposed. A matching ASJ+ butt strip is furnished in the carton for each section. The jacket is white, and the longitudinal lap of the jacket has a self-sealing adhesive.
Earthwool
Earthwool is the new benchmark that stands apart for its genuine sustainability, unsurpassed performance and consistently high product quality.
ECOSE® Technology
ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary binder chemistry that enhances the sustainability of our products. The “binder” is the bond that holds our glass mineral wool product together and gives the product its shape and brown color. ECOSE Technology is a plant-based, sustainable chemistry that replaces the phenol/formaldehyde (PF) binder traditionally used in glass mineral wool products. Products using ECOSE technology are formaldehyde-free and have reduced global warming potential when compared to our products of the past.
Application
Earthwool 1000° Pipe Insulation is used to insulate iron and copper piping in industrial applications and in commercial and institutional buildings. Earthwool 1000° Pipe Insulation is suitable for hot, cold, concealed and exposed piping systems operating at temperatures from 0°F-1000°F (-18°C to 538°C). Additional weather protection is needed outdoors.

Hot Pipe
May be installed while the system is in operation, at all temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C).Knauf Insulation recommends, for insulation thicknesses greater than 6" (152 mm), the temperature must be increased from 500°F (260°C) to maximum temperature at a rate not exceeding 100°F (56°C) per hour.During initial heat-up to operating temperatures above 350°F (177°C), a slight odor and some smoke may be given off as a portion of the bonding material used in the insulation begins to undergo a controlled decomposition.If natural convection is not adequate in confined areas, forced ventilation should be provided in order to protect against any harmful fumes and vapors that might be generated.Care must also be taken when using sealants, solvents, or flammable adhesives during installation.A maximum of 6" (152 mm) wall thickness is recommended.
Cold Pipe
Use a continuous vapor retarder on piping operating below ambient temperatures.Seal all joints, surfaces, seams, and fittings to prevent condensation. Use of staples is not recommended.On below freezing applications, and in high abuse areas, the ASJ+ jacket shall be protected with a PVC vapor retarding outer jacket. In addition, exposed ends of insulation shall be sealed with vapor barrier mastic installed per the mastic manufacturer's instructions. Vapor seals at butt joints shall be applied at every fourth pipe section joint and at each fitting to isolate any water incursion.On chilled water systems operating in high humidity conditions, it is recommended that the same guidelines be followed as listed above for below freezing applications.Exterior hanger supports are recommended.
Outside Application
Do not expose pipe insulation to weather. It must be covered with appropriate jacketing, mastic, or vapor retardant adhesives.All exposed surfaces must be protected. Proto® Indoor/Outdoor PVC Jacketing is recommended. See Knauf Insulation Guide Specifications for recommended PVC jacketing application guidelines.Apply jacketing, mastics or vapor retardant adhesives per manufacturer's instructions. For metallic jackets, factory-applied and condensate retarders are recommended.
ASJ+SSL+
Keep adhesive and contact surfaces free from dirt and water, and immediately seal once adhesive is exposed.Apply when ambient and insulation outer-surface temperatures are between 20°F and 130°F (-6.7°C and 54°C).If stored below 20°F or above 130°F, allow insulation cartons to stand within recommended temperature range for 24 hours prior to application.Do not store product below -20°F (-29°C) or above 150°F (66°C).When using Knauf Insulation's SSL closure system, make sure the longitudinal and circumferential joints are properly sealed by rubbing the closure firmly with a squeegee.When using Earthwool 1000° Pipe Insulation, the surface temperature of the insulation should be between -20°F and 150°F (-29°C and 66°C) during the life of the insulation.
Fittings and Hangers
Use Proto 25/50-Rated (ASTM E 84) PVC Fitting Covers, applying PVC fittings per Proto's Data Sheet.Fittings should be insulated to same thickness and R-value as the adjoining insulation.Apply fittings per manufacturer's instructions.When required by specification, a hard insert of sufficient length should be used to avoid compression of the insulation.
Additional Precautions
Glass mineral wool may cause temporary skin irritation. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, head covering, gloves, and eye protection when handling and applying material.Wash with soap and warm water after handling.Wash work clothes separately and rinse washer.Use a disposable mask/respirator designed for nuisance-type dusts where sensitivity to dust and airborne particles may cause irritation to the nose or throat.Application Guidelines
Storage
Protect insulation from water damage or other abuse, welding sparks and open flame.
Cartons are not designed for outside storage.
Preparation
Apply only on clean, dry surfaces.Pipe or vessel should be tested and released before insulation is applied.
General Guidelines
All sections should be firmly butted.Seal circumferential joint with a minimum 3" (76 mm) wide butt-strip.Jackets, coatings, and adhesives should have a comparable F.H.C. rating.ASJ+ may be painted. As with traditional ASJ, Knauf Insulation does not encourage the painting of ASJ+ because the application of any paint may change the surface burning characteristics and will void the UL Classification and Knauf Insulation Limited Warranty. Where painting is necessary, use common water, oil, or solvent-based paints. All paints should be tested for compatibility and adhesion before use.All piping should have continuous insulation.Position longitudinal lap downward to avoid dirt and moisture infiltration.Do not expose pipe insulation to excessive vibration or physical abuse.Faced insulation should not have a facing temperature above 150°F (66°C).
SSL+ Installation Instructions:
To install SSL+, first remove the kraft release liner to expose adhesive.Carefully align the jacketing. Starting in the center of the insulation section, begin initial SSL tack using pressure in the direction of the overlap.  Again, starting in the center of the insulation section, with a plastic squeegee begin to apply firm pressure to the bonded lap area swiping from the center of the insulation section toward each end.
NOTE:  After initial SSL+ adhesive tack, it is critical that the closure is not re-opened and repositioned on the facing.  Doing so will weaken the adhesive and diminish bond strength.
Butt Strip Installation Instructions:
To install Butt Strips, remove the kraft release liner by separating the butt strip from the kraft using the convenient, easy release kiss cut.Simply wrap the butt strip, centered around the joint, and apply firm pressure with a squeegee.
NOTE: After initial Butt Strip adhesive tack, it is critical that the closure is not re-opened and repositioned on the facing.  Doing so will weaken the adhesive and diminish bond strength.
Recommended Thicknesses (ASHRAE 90.1-2010)
The minimum thicknesses are based on ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standards and do not necessarily represent the Economic Thickness of Insulation or the thickness required for proper condensation control. Rather, they serve as minimum recommendations for commercial applications. For recommended Economic Thickness, install according to Knauf Insulation or NAIMA 3E Plus programs or as specified.
Glass Mineral Wool and Mold
Glass mineral wool insulation will not sustain mold growth. However, mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold it must be discarded. If the material is wet but shows no evidence of mold, it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.
