Earthwool are resilient, non-combustible rock mineral wool slabs.
Perfect for Do-It-Yourself bass traps and acoustic panels, Knauf Insulation Earthwool is a 60 kg/m3 thermal and acoustical insulation product made from inorganic glass mineral wool preformed into boards with GREENSAFEĀ® Technology.
Earthwool rock mineral wool slabs offer exceptional fire performance characteristics, as well as excellent thermal and acoustic properties. The Earthwool Krimpactā¢ products further improve upon the benefits of Earthwool slabs by being scientifically designed and manufactured to provide a very high level of compression resistance.
Using Krimpactā¢ technology, the fibres are aligned in such a way as to dramatically increase the ability of the slab to resist heavy loads while maintaining the thermal, acoustic and fire performance benefits of EarthwoolĀ® rock mineral wool products.

Environmental
Earthwool insulation sheets represent no known threat to the environment and have zero Ozone Depletion Potential and zero Global Warming Potential.
Knauf Insulation has launched the revolutionary new mineral wool, which reduces the productās embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability using patented GREENSAFEĀ® Technology. With mineral wool insulation already considered the best performing insulation in terms of low environmental impact, this development extends the leading position of mineral wool as the insulation product of the future.
Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with GREENSAFEĀ® Technology benefit from a natural, formaldehyde-free binder made from rapidly renewable organic materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals. The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulationās glass and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance.
The GREENSAFEĀ® Technology binder is up to 70% less energy intensive than traditional oil based binders. With Knauf Insulation mineral wool products containing high recycled and renewable content, this contributes to an already superior performance when it comes to embodied energy. Insulation products made with GREENSAFEĀ® Technology contain no dye and artificial colours ā the colour is completely natural.
When Knauf introduced the revolutionary GREENSAFEĀ® Technology the impact was felt. Quite literally. Odourless, supersoft and easy to cut, mineral wool insulation manufactured with GREENSAFEĀ® Technology simply feels so much better than traditional mineral wool insulation. Innovative insulation technology thatās good for the environment. Great to work with too!
