In an effort to reduce concerns about indoor air quality, Johns Manville last year became the first and only manufacturer of fiber glass insulation to discontinue the use of formaldehyde as a binder for its full line of fiber glass insulation. JM Formaldehyde-free® instead features an innovative acrylic binder providing the same high-quality thermal and acoustical performance you've come to expect from Johns Manville, only without the formaldehyde. Because JM no longer uses formaldehyde as a binder, manufacturing plants are exempt from the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Air Pollutant regulations under the Clean Air Act. In addition, since the introduction of JM Formaldehyde-free, more than 100 tons of hazardous pollutants are eliminated from the air each year.
All Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation contains an average of at least 25% recycled content and provides overall resource efficiency. Because of its high recycled content, JM Formaldehyde-free reduces landfill impact by 90,000 tons per year.
In addition to its standard unfaced and kraft-faced batts and rolls, the Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free fiber glass line includes an insulation for every installation, including:
ComfortTherm®
- The industry's most complete line of encapsulated insulation
- Reduces dust and itch, making installation faster, easier and more comfortable
- Built-in poly-vapor retarder is twice as effective as conventional kraft paper
- The only line of perforated fiber glass insulation batts
- Patented vertical perforation makes installation faster and easier, reducing time spent on measuring and cutting
- Available in kraft-faced or unfaced
- Offers all the thermal and acoustical benefits of fiber glass insulation but fits any size, shape, curve and cavity
- Blow-in fiber glass insulation
