1 Thermal Batt Isulatio for Residetial & Commercial Costructio

2 Thermal batt isulatio Superior Buildig Evelope Performace Roxul Comfortbatt is a semi-rigid batt isulatio desiged specifically for wood ad steel stud applicatios for residetial ad commercial costructio. The stoe wool-based isulatio is made from atural stoe ad up to 9% recycled cotet, which gives it properties that other isulatio ca t match. It also offers superior acoustical performace to wall assemblies ad floors ad ca be used i acoustic applicatios required by buildig code. Fire-Safe Isulatio For Wall Assemblies Wo t Bur or Develop Smoke Roxul ComfortBatt stoe wool isulatio is o-combustible as determied by ASTM E1 ad CAN-S11. It will ot develop smoke or promote flame spread, eve whe directly exposed to fire, as most other isulatio materials will. Extremely high meltig poit of 1177 C (210 F) Does ot produce smoke or toxic gases i the evet of a fire Excellet barrier agaist the spread of flames to help protect occupats ad reduce property damage Elimiates the risk of isulatio accidetly catchig fire durig istallatio Excellet Passive Fire Protectio ComfortBatt ca add up to a additioal 1 miutes of fire protectio to wall assemblies Fire Test Performace CAN/ULC-S CAN-S11 ASTM E 1 CAN/ULC S102 ASTM E 8 NBC 2010, Article CCMC Evaluatio Listig Mieral Wool Thermal Isulatio for Buildigs Determiatio of No-Combustibility Determiatio of No-Combustibility Surface Burig Characteristics Surface Burig Characteristics Isulatio Materials Master Format 07212: Mieral Wool Batt Isulatio Type 1, Complies No-Combustible No-Combustible Coforms L The Isurace Bureau of Caada (IBC) referece to NFPA 28: Stadard Fire Test Method for Evaluatio of Fire Propagatio Characteristics of Exterior No-Load-Bearig Wall Assemblies Cotaiig Combustible Compoets has led to several raiscree wall system maufacturers to test with Roxul cavity wall isulatio. The use of SPUF isulatio does ot allow raiscree maufacturers to meet this requiremet. Performace Matters: Maagig Moisture I Wall Assemblies is a ufaced semi-rigid batt isulatio ad a vapor retarder may be required by buildig code depedig o the geographic locatio of the buildig. The use of a vapor retarder will limit the amout of water vapor that will move to the outside wall reducig codesatio i the wall assembly. Eve a small hole i the vapor barrier ca have a detrimetal effect o the performace of the wall ad isulatio. Whe isulatio material such as fiberglass gets wet, it ca absorb moisture, reducig R-value ad presetig the risk of slumpig ad saggig withi the wall cavity. Roxul ComfortBatt does ot absorb water ad has a low water sorptio rate. It will maitai its shape withi the wall cavity esurig maximum R-value is maitaied. Roxul ComfortBatt is resistat to water, rot, mold, mildew ad bacterial growth. Wall assembly costructio is ot perfect, but Roxul ComfortBatt ca miimize moisture risk.

Gaps ad voids are most prevalet aroud electrical boxes, wires ad pipes. Roxul ComfortBatt is produced at a slight overthickess to esure a frictio fit withi the wall cavity. The batts will stay i place ad perform equally well i horizotal, sloped, dormer, vertical ad overhead applicatios. Roxul ComfortBatt s uique flexible edge esures the semi-rigid batts compress ad expad betwee studs ad joists to elimiate slumpig or saggig ad coform to off-stadard wood studs. Higher desity batts reduce airflow withi the wall cavity, reducig covective losses. This traslates ito a better performig ad more comfortable thermal wall. Roxul cuts quickly ad accurately with a serrated kife, such as a bread kife, so you ca easily achieve optimal fit aroud pipes, electrical boxes, wirig, ductwork, ad betwee studs ad joists that are less tha a stadard width. Studies have prove that wall assemblies with gaps ad voids ca result i % loss of the stated R-value. Roxul ComfortBatt s higher desity batts make it simple for precise cuttig to esure a fit without gaps ad voids.

Gree Maufacturig Report Card Usig Roxul isulatio products is oe of the most cost-effective ways to make homes ad buildigs across North America more eergy efficiet. But the compay s commitmet to the eviromet goes beyod the beefits of the products themselves. It exteds to the way the isulatio is made, as well. Roxul s ewest maufacturig facility i Milto, Otario utilizes state-of-the art techologies to elimiate waste, reduce eergy cosumptio ad miimize the compay s impact o the plaet i five critical gree areas. 1. Recyclig ad Waste Reductio Our ew plat has a iovative recyclig system that turs all productio waste ito ew raw materials to be reused i the process. Roxul isulatio ow cotais up to 9% recycled materials. The facility recycles over 99% of its productio waste, which dramatically reduces the impact o local ladfill sites. 2. Water Coservatio Water used i the maufacturig process is collected ad reused for productio. Storm water from the plat site is also collected ad used i the productio process. This sigificatly reduces the amout eeded from muicipal drikig water resources.. Eergy Efficiecy Heat geerated durig our productio process is captured ad recycled throughout the factory ad warehouse for warmth durig cold weather. Eergy efficiet lightig has bee istalled throughout the facility.. Lower Vehicle Emissios A strict o-idle policy for trucks ad other vehicles at the facility miimizes exhaust emissios.. Air Quality Roxul uses advaced emissio cotrol techology to esure maufacturig emissios are lower tha the air quality stadards set ad regulated by the Otario Miistry of the Eviromet (MOE). I all istaces, the Roxul facility is sigificatly below MOE levels.

5 CONTENT RECYCLED HIGH A Global Leader Roxul Ic. is part of Rockwool Iteratioal, the largest producer of stoe wool isulatio, which is made from atural basalt rock ad recycled material. Rockwool Iteratioal was fouded i 1909 ad today operates worldwide with more tha 8,800 employees, with 27 factories across three cotiets. For more tha 20 years, Roxul has bee servig the North America market. I additio to thermal isulatio for residetial ad commercial costructio, Roxul also maufactures a rage of other premium isulatio products for multiple applicatios. Roxul is the Better Isulatio is a iovative isulatio offerig a world of gree features. Whe Roxul is the specified isulatio, gree buildig developers ca ear a variety of LEED (Leadership i Eergy ad Evirometal Desig) poits across four key categories toward sustaiable developmet. Evirometally Sustaiable Our stoe wool productio process utilizes some of the most advaced techology available. The Roxul facility is desiged to capture ad recycle raiwater, reduce eergy cosumptio, ad create zero waste to ladfill by recyclig raw materials back ito the productio process. Roxul isulatios are created usig aturally occurrig, iorgaic raw materials ad materials with a high-recycled cotet. Stoe wool isulatio is o-combustible ad achieves its thermal performace without the use of blowig agets. The products do ot off-gas ad are fully recyclable, therefore cotributig to a sustaiable eviromet. Roxul is pleased to have third-party certificatio of our products recycled cotet for our Milto facility, completed by ICC-ES SAVE. All Roxul products produced i the Milto facility cotai a miimum of 7% recycled cotet. Our Milto facility is certified to produce products cotaiig up to 9% recycled cotet.
