Owens Corning sets new Benchmark for Insulation Performance

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

EcoTouch™ insulation establishes the new benchmark for insulation performance by fusing the industry-leading thermal and acoustical performance characteristics of Owens Corning PINK™ FIBERGLAS® insulation with PureFiber™ Technology. The result is an entirely new class of high-performance, formaldehyde-free residential and commercial insulation made with natural ingredients (minimum of 96% by weight natural materials consisting of minerals and plant-based compounds) and over 70% recycled content (based on the average recycled glass content in all Owens Corning fiberglass batts, rolls and unbounded loosefill insulation manufactured in Canada). And they are third party GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality CertifiedSM, meeting the most stringent certification standards. A great choice for home energy savings!

"We know that our customers are increasingly interested in sustainable building solutions and that our new EcoTouch™ PINK™ products will help Canadians make their homes more energy-efficient, while providing the same thermal performance they have come to rely on in Owens Corning products. This newest innovation reflects our relentless pursuit of environmentally sustainable and efficient ways to insulate Canadian homes." says Ric McFadden, Vice President of Building Materials, Owens Corning Canada.

The launch of EcoTouch™ PINK™ FIBERGLAS® insulation with PureFiber™ Technology marks the end of a 70-year old Owens Corning binder platform. The features of the new products will provide Canadians with more opportunities to protect the environment.
