3 1. Introducing Knauf Insulation
ECOSE® Technology The development of patented ECOSE Technology enables Knauf Insulation to offer glasswool and rock mineral wool with superior environmental credentials, which are also in full compliance with formaldehyde-free specifications. Products made using ECOSE Technology are more sustainable and reduce binder embodied energy up to 70%.
Compression Packaging A major benefit of Earthwool® is its ability to compress and ‘bounce back’ when unpacked. Knauf Insulation has high ratio ‘compression packaging’ technology for glasswool, which reduces transport and handling costs for distributors and installers.
‘Super Soft‘ Handling Glasswool is the world‘s most popular insulation product. The Knauf Insulation development team is dedicated to making the product even better. The ‘super soft’ feel of Knauf Insulation‘s new generation Earthwool with ECOSE Technology has resulted in an extraordinarily soft and easy to install product.
Blow-In Glasswool Knauf Insulation has led the development of blow-in glasswool for upgrading the energy efficiency of existing masonry cavity walls and also for walls in new timber frame houses. Used extensively in the USA and Europe, this product will revolutionise the installation of insulation in Australia.
Recycled Glass Bottles Glasswool from Knauf Insulation uses a high proportion of post-consumer recycled glass bottles and is one of the most sustainable types of insulation available. Each pack of glasswool from Knauf Insulation uses up to 15 recycled glass bottles.

Our track record is driven by innovation
COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Our Mission: To provide products and services that conserve energy in buildings and preserve natural resources for a sustainable future. For us, sustainability means being able to meet the most important human needs of today without compromising our ability to meet the needs of tomorrow. We view sustainability as a journey rather than a destination and are constantly researching innovations to enhance energy efficiency and reduce our impact on the environment.
Leading edge manufacturing is at the forefront of all the Knauf Insulation production locations. Our factories are equipped with the most advanced manufacturing and testing facilities in the world, supported by an ongoing research and development program. The result is a track record for products with leading quality and consistency, exceptional thermal and acoustic performance, superior sustainability credentials, and reduced transportation and installation costs for our customers.
1. Introducing Knauf Insulation 5
Earthwool® is naturally brown – containing no added phenols, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours. It is in full compliance with formaldehyde-free specifications.
Earthwool is less dusty than other types of glasswool and is easy to cut.
Knauf Insulation manufactures a full range of Earthwool products in various thicknesses, R-Values and densities.
Earthwool: think of it as green… only browner. Glasswool is the most widely used insulation product throughout the world – and for many good reasons. It is non-combustible, has high thermal performance, superb sound absorption and is outstanding value for money. It‘s a challenge to make something this good even better – but we‘ve done it! Knauf Insulation‘s Earthwool doesn‘t look or feel like any glasswool insulation you‘ve ever experienced. That‘s because the natural brown colour represents a level of sustainability and handling for glasswool never before achieved. We didn‘t choose brown, it just came naturally. 6
Lab-tested, Mother Nature approved. Earthwool® products are BRANZ certified with AS/NZS 4859.1 and in full compliance with the Building Code of Australia. Earthwool products also satisfy the most stringent requirements for bio-solubility.
The unique appearance and ‘super soft’ feel of Earthwool comes from ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary, new sustainable binder born from five years of intensive research. Made from rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals commonly used in other insulation products, ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%. Improving the already exceptional environmental credentials of traditional glasswool insulation, Earthwool is made using recycled glass bottles and is also compression packed to reduce transport emissions and stockist storage costs. Earthwool does not contain added formaldehyde, artificial colours or bleach and is as good as traditional glasswool insulation – only better… naturally! 7 1. Introducing Knauf Insulation
“ All of my installers prefer Knauf Insulation. We have guys in the field who refuse to use anything else because they don’t get the results that they get with Knauf Insulation. It’s consistent, load after load after load. It cuts better and it’s less dusty. It’s easier to install. It’s neater and it looks better. Personally, Knauf Insulation is what I’d rather use on everything.”
“ As an insulation distributor, we rate Knauf Insulation as one of the finest suppliers we have. They provide a quality product, a good inventory and they make the distributor feel like a true partner. Whether it’s the service aspect of the business or packaging the product or the glasswool itself, every year it seems to get better. And of all the manufacturers I’ve dealt with, the Knauf Insulation people, by far, exhibit the highest level of integrity, character and loyalty. They’re just really great people. We learned a lesson from Knauf Insulation – if you treat everybody like your best customer, you’re going to retain your customers for life.”
Our customers value the Knauf Insulation partnership Builders, installers, distributors and architects around the world stand by our products. They are top quality and highly sustainable – made using recycled glass and rapidly renewable materials. The handling characteristics of our products have become legendary. Our products are easy to work with, quick to recover, contain low dust and are effortless to cut – all productivity features installers really appreciate. Builders and architects know they’re getting the product performance they require while their customers are getting the comfort and energy savings they deserve. 8

Our Commitment to Sustainability Our Guiding Principles: As a family-owned company, we’re proud of the Knauf Insulation name and what it represents. Customers worldwide have put their trust in the quality, consistency and performance of our products and our business values. So, everyone who does business with us recognises the importance that, in our quest to become more sustainable, there are certain principles that we will not compromise: • The quality, consistency, and performance characteristics for which our products are known. • Our ability to apply technological advances across all product lines. • The safe and efficient manufacture of our products. • Our commitment to sustainability from plant operations. • Our commitment to cost-effectively produce our products.

Driven by our mission, Earthwool® is produced with ECOSE® Technology. ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary, more sustainable binder technology born from five years of intensive research and development. ECOSE Technology is based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials instead of petro-based chemicals such as phenol, formaldehyde and acrylics commonly used in traditional glasswool products. By reducing the embodied energy in our binder by up to 70% compared to traditional glasswool, ECOSE Technology reduces both the expected Global Warming Potential and total embodied energy of Knauf Insulation glasswool by approximately 4%.
Our new Engineering and Development office building uses 30% less energy than a conventional office while accommodating 50 offices and housing a 126-seat classroom and training centre.
Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers installed at our factories have reduced the amount of energy it takes to cure our products and reduced CO2 emissions from the curing ovens by up to 90%.
All Knauf Insulation glasswool products are made from renewable and abundant resources, such as recycled glass and sand.
Manufacturing improvements
A sustainable impact and legacy
• In our operations, we look for ways to advance our glass formulations to increase the use of post-consumer recycled glass bottles in all our products.
All our products are made from renewable and abundant resources, such as recycled glass and sand. And we’re proud to be putting glass bottles back to work rather than into landfills. Our products are made with up to 80% postconsumer recycled glass bottles—about 26 million bottles each month, all collected at curbside. Our Earthwool products have an inherent impact on energy consumption as they save hundreds of times more energy in use than is required to manufacture them.
• To reclaim and reuse vented heat and to control emissions, we have invested millions of dollars in regenerative thermal oxidisers and the best available technology for pollution control. • By converting our products to ECOSE® Technology, we have eliminated chemicals like phenol and formaldehyde from the manufacturing process, eliminating their plant emissions. This has the added benefit of providing a safer workplace environment both in production and for installers.
Through the development of revolutionary solutions like ECOSE Technology, we continually focus our efforts on providing solutions that reduce energy consumption and save resources to positively affect the lives of people today and tomorrow.

Features and Benefits
Technical Data
Strong ClimaFoam ® XPS Board is more than a simple lightweight insulant. The inherent mechanical strength of the range means that a building element or fabricated item using ClimaFoam XPS Board can withstand a wide range of loading situations. Whether subjected to standard domestic loads or heavy industrial loads, in floors, roofs or in panels, ClimaFoam XPS Board is the ideal solution.
Standards • X PS is manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13164: 2008.
Water Resistant Many insulants will get wet in use or during installation. ClimaFoam XPS Board is almost 100% closed cell and as such is unaffected by moisture. Whether laying ClimaFoam XPS Board in a floor (where there is often some standing water) or in a protected membrane roof system (where the insulation is exposed to water) the user can be confident ClimaFoam XPS Board will perform as stated.
36
Durability • The continuous service temperature limit of ClimaFoam XPS Boards is up to +70°C. Thermal Performance • The thermal conductivity of XPS is 0.028 W/mK.
Handling and Storage • ClimaFoam XPS Boards are easy to handle and install. Ensure the board product is not stored close to open flames or other ignition sources and avoid volatile organic compounds and chemicals such as solvents. ClimaFoam XPS Boards should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this will result in surface degradation. When outside storage for extended periods is required cover the products with opaque/ light coloured sheeting.

6. Installation Instructions 6.1 Earthwool® Ceiling Batt Insulation Do not start work until the site is safe! Assess the ceiling structure and the method of installation you are to use based on the appropriate requirements established in AS 3999 or NZS 4246 (including amendments). STEP 1. Ensure you have the right product for the application. Check the thermal resistance rating (R-Value) required on drawings/plans and that this matches the product selected. Check the joist width to determine the correct insulation batt width (e.g. 430mm or 580mm). • Start from the eaves ensuring the top plate is covered and work across the building towards the centre of the ceiling. • When installing, energise each batt by giving it a light shake and gently bouncing it on its side, ensuring the product expands to the thickness specified on the label. STEP 2. Trim Earthwool to appropriate sizes to fit between and around trusses and vents. Place insulation in accordance with AS 3999 / NZS 4246, ensuring appropriate clearances from recessed lights, extractor fans, chimney elements and piping as appropriate. Place insulation under electrical cables. STEP 3. Use any off-cuts to fill voids.

“I don’t
miss the ITCH!” Make the switch
Can insulation really feel THIS good? Knauf Insulation’s new Earthwool® products don’t look or feel like any insulation you’ve ever experienced, that’s because the natural brown colour represents a level of sustainability and ease of handling never before achieved with glasswool in Australia. The colour and ‘super soft’ feel of this glasswool comes from a revolutionary sustainable binder which does not contain the petro-based chemicals, added formaldehyde or artificial colours commonly used in other insulation.
Not as itchy The ‘super soft’ feel of Earthwool comes from a revolutionary, patented binder made using renewable bio-based materials. Make the switch!
Reduced handling Unique compression packaging means more insulation per pack, more insulation per load.
Fire safe Unlike other types of ceiling insulation, Earthwool is noncombustible.
Blocks sound Earthwool absorbs sound for a quieter home.
Made using recycled glass Earthwool is made using recycled glass bottles and sand making it the best choice for environmentally conscious customers.

that each security interest of ours is enforceable, perfected, has the required and intended priority, is otherwise effective, and can be practically and lawfully enforced by us against you (and against third parties as relevant). 5) You hereby waive, as permitted by s.157(3) of the PPS Act, any right to receive a verification statement or any other notice in relation to a registration event (for example, any right under s.157(1) of the PPS Act). 6) We and you hereby enter into a confidentiality agreement (as contemplated by s.275(6)(a) of the PPS Act) and agree that (subject to section 275(7) of the PPS Act) neither you nor we will disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) of the PPS Act. 7) If: (a) you dispose of the goods before title to the goods passes to you (whether or not that disposal is with our permission; this clause does not condone or permit any such disposal); and (b) you will, in those circumstances, hold a security interest granted by a third party in respect of the goods (a “secondary security interest”); then you must: (c) establish and implement procedures to perfect that secondary security interest and to maintain it as continuously perfected; (d) take all necessary steps under the PPS Act to obtain the highest possible ranking priority for that secondary security interest; (e) establish and implement procedures and take all necessary steps to reduce (so far as possible) the risk that a third party might acquire an interest in the goods which is free of our security interest or which is free of the secondary security interest; and (f) do everything which we reasonably require to be done to comply with the obligations stated in this clause 29.7. 8) Payments made by you to us will be applied in the order contemplated by s.14(6)(c) of the PPS Act. 9) Contracting out of certain enforcement provisions: As permitted by s.115(1) of the PPS Act, we and you hereby agree that: (a) s.95 and s.130 of the PPS Act, to the extent that each of those sections require us to give notice to you, do not apply to our security interests; (b) s.121(4) and s.132(4) of the PPS Act do not apply to our security interests; (c) We may elect to give notice to you as contemplated by s.135(1)(a) of the PPS Act, but we are not obliged to do so; and (d) If: (i) title to collateral has not passed to you in accordance with clause 11 of these Terms & Conditions; and (ii) where we have seized such collateral as contemplated by Division 2 of Part 4.3 of the PPS Act (or have seized such collateral in another manner); then: (iii) (noting that the collateral is in fact still our property because title to the collateral has not passed to you) to the extent permissible under the PPS Act, nothing in s.125 or in s.134(1) or in other sections of the PPS Act is to be taken to prevent us from retaining such collateral, without any obligation to take any further step in relation to disposal of the collateral or any obligation to give notice to you in connection with such collateral. It is intended that if this clause 29.9(d) is unenforceable or illegal, then it is intended to be severed from this document without affecting the validity of other sections of this document. 10) In addition, you acknowledge that: (a) you also charge any interest which you have in any and all real property (for example, land, buildings and fixtures) with your obligations to us under these Terms & Conditions and you agree that we have a caveatable interest in, and a right to a mortgage over any such real property; and (b) you must do everything which we require to be done, including signing further documents required by us, in its discretion, for the purpose of documenting and registering any such caveat or mortgage and related arrangements such as deeds of priority with other parties, in such a way to ensure that such caveat or mortgage is enforceable, has the required and intended priority and is effective and can be practically enforced against you and against third parties.
