GLASS WOOL THERMAL INSULATION
Glass Wool Batts are highly effective, lightweight, flexible and resilient insulation batts. Tested to AS 4859.1 Glass Wool Batts are Building Code of Australia (BCA) compliant.
Glass Wool Batts will increase temperature comfort and minimise energy within the home. Manufactured from up to 100% recycled glass, they provide excellent thermal resistance whilst being easy to install.

Maximum Service Temperature
The maximum service temperature of glass wool is 350 degrees C. However this product is not designed for high temperature applications.
Corrosion Resistance
When tested in accordance with BS 3958: Part 5-1969, glass wool returned a pH of 8.0 (neutral is pH 7.0) and therefore will not cause corrosion to steel.
