| ECOSE® Technology |
Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a revolutionary, bio-based, formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials, instead of petro-based chemicals. It reduces embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability.
The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulation’s glass and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance. Insulation products made with ECOSE® Technology contain no dye or artificial colours – the colour is completely natural.

Acoustic Performance
Rocksilk PipeTherm Slab can be used for noise control of
pipework. The lightweight, fire safe and robust nature combined
with excellent sound absorption characteristics make it an ideal
choice for sound attenuation applications.

Operating Temperatures
Rocksilk PipeTherm Slab can be used up to continuous operating
temperatures of 850°C and down to cryogenic temperatures provided
that a 100% vapour barrier is maintained to prevent ingress of
moisture vapour. The surface temperature of the facing should not
exceed 80°C.
Handling and Storage
Rocksilk PipeTherm Slab is easy to handle and install, being
lightweight and easily cut to size.
Rocksilk PipeTherm Slab is supplied in polythene packs, which
are designed for short term protection only.
For longer term protection on site, the product should be stored
either indoors, or under cover and off the ground.
Rocksilk PipeTherm Slab should not be left permanently exposed
