Supporter Overview
In North America, Knauf is a leading manufacturer of thermal and acoustical fiberglass insulation for residential, commercial, industrial and metal building applications. In 2009, Knauf introduced ECOSE® Technology, a bio-based binder that offered a smarter alternative to the phenol-formaldehyde binders traditionally used in fiberglass insulation products and helped set a new industry standard for more sustainable insulation. Today, that innovation serves as the foundation of the company’s entire fiberglass portfolio, delivering performance and comfort without added formaldehyde or dyes.
In addition to a product portfolio that is formaldehyde free, Knauf is the only insulation manufacturer with a full portfolio of commercial, industrial and residential products that are Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certified and Verified Healthier Air ™.
