Technology is a preformed, fl exible blanket
insulation. It is produced in R-values from 11 to 49, with
thicknesses ranging from 3½ inches to 14 inches. It is available
unfaced, or faced with either a kraft or foil vapor retarder.
Features
• Excellent thermal control
• Effective acoustical control
• Long term performance and will not settle nor slump
within wall cavities
• With less dust than other fi berglass products, EcoTouch

Material”
Design Considerations
• For optimum insulation performance the building thermal
barrier (insulation) should be in continual alignment with
the building air barrier. In framed cavities, the product
thickness should match the depth of the framing members.
• Follow the local, applicable building code(s) to determine
the need for and placement of a vapor retarder.
• Do not install insulation on top, or within 3 inches of a
recessed light fi xture unless the fi xture is labeled as
“insulation contact” (IC) rated.
• Kraft and standard foil facings will burn and cannot be left
exposed. Install facings in substantial contact with the
assembly fi nish material. Protect from open fl ame or other
heat source.
Installation
See Owens Corning publication “Installation Guide for
Light Density Insulation” (Pub. No. 10017858) for more

2. The surface burning characteristics of EcoTouch
®
Insulation were derived from products
tested in accordance with ASTM E84. This standard is used solely to measure and describe
properties of products in response to heat and fl ame under controlled laboratory conditions,
and should not be used to describe or approve the fi re hazard of materials under actual fi re
conditions. However, the results of these tests may be used as elements of a fi re risk assess-
ment that takes into account all of the factors pertinent to an assessment of the fi re hazard of
a particular end use. Values are reported to the nearest fi ve rating.
