Armstrong | Reader Service No. 1 Shelbyville, Ind. — The distinctive brown color of EcoBatt Glasswool Insulation products from Knauff Insulation comes from the ECOSE Technology binding agent. ECOSE Technology converts natural organic materials into an inert polymer through a proprietary process to create an exceptionally strong binder that bonds the insulation fibers together, according to the company. The insulation combines at least 30 percent post-consumer recycled glass and sand. ECOSE Technology is up to 70 percent less energy intensive than traditional binders, and reduces the carbon footprint of its products by eliminating the petroleum-based chemicals traditionally used to make insulation binders. www.knaufinsulation.us.

Filters require fewer changeouts, reducing replacement costs, maintenance expenditures, and landfill burden. And since the A130 is designed to be changed out at lower ending pressure drop compared to mechanical filtration technologies, engineers can specify smaller overall HVAC system components. www.strionair.com.
