FireSpan 90 Thermafiber products are insulations designed to provide fire protection, thermal insulation, acoustical and vapor control. They are used in commerical applications.
RESOURCES
FireSpan 90 Thermafiber is made from a minimum of 70% slag, a steel industry waste product that would otherwise be landfilled, and is bonded with less then 5% (by weight) phenolic resin. Thermafiber uses 75,000 tons of slag annually.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Owens Corning limits the amount of product cutoff to less that 5% of the cumulative mass of a model. There is no recycling or reclaim system setup for end of life, therefore the material usually ends up in landfills. Thermafiber also has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
HUMAN HEALTH
Mineral wool dust is a mechanical irritant, but is otherwise harmless. Thermafiber in non-carcinogenic and VOC emissions meet air quality standards. As MSDS is available online.
SOCIAL EQUITY
Owens Corning donates building supplies to revitalization, disaster relief, and homelessness projects and supports international charties. Half of Owens Corning locations volunteer in local or international initiatives.
