Technical Information

• Deliver products in their original packages, and store in enclosed shelter.
• Packaging is not UV resistant. Shelter unused packages from the elements.
• Stated thermal resistance value is achieved by installing the minimum required number of bags per 92.9 net m² (1,000 net ft²) at a thickness not less than the label minimum thickness. Failure by the installer to provide both the required number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in lower thermal resistance value.
• Owens Corning does not recommend or approve blending or adding additional materials or adhesives to this product during installation. Owens Corning will accept no responsibility or liability when the product is not installed in accordance with the product label and installation instructions.
• Building, electrical, fire and other applicable codes shall be complied with. All heat emitting devices, such as fuel burning appliances, chimneys, pipes, ducts and vents to these appliances shall maintain a minimum clearance of 51 mm (2 in.) between these devices and the insulation. Recessed light fixtures, unless designed for the purpose, shall not be installed in insulated ceilings.
• Ensure applicator's personnel wear protective equipment such as breathing mask (dust-proof type mask), eye protection (safety goggles or eyeglasses), and skin protection (gloves, long-sleeved shirts, and pants) when handling and applying materials. Wash with soap and warm water after handling. Wash work clothes separately and wipe out washer. For additional information refer to Safe Use Instruction Sheet (SUIS) found in the SDS Database via sds.owenscorning.com.
• When installing PROPINK® FIBERGLAS® Blown Loosefill Insulationin a thermal application, it is critical that the contractor's crews have a general knowledge of construction and framing principles and a full understanding of the pneumatic equipment.
• Additionally, the following items should be considered:
• Check for possible routes that may allow insulation to escape from cavities and fall into the condition area.
• Insulating a cavity that does not have an adequate interior vapour retarder and air barrier substantially increases the potential for moisture problems.
• Check for cavity surfaces which may not be able to withstand pressures created during the blowing process.
• Where there are soffit vents, take appropriate measures to prevent blown glass fibre insulation from accumulating and blocking the air ventilation and to prevent the insulation from being displaced due to wind penetration through the soffit vents. Install Owens Corning® raft-R-mate® attic vents.
