Description

ProCat® Insulation is an unbonded loosefill fiberglas™ thermal insulation. It is designed for use exclusively with theProCat® machine.

Features

The ProCat® machine has a “dense mode” setting enable installation of ProCat® insulation at higher R-value in the eaves, where height may be limited

Owens Corning® Loosefill Insulation has received the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute’s Platinum Level Material Health Certificate2

Applications

ProCat® Insulation is intended for use in both “open” applications, such as the floor of vented attics, and in “closed cavity” applications, such as walls and floors between stories of a house

ProCat® Insulation can be used in both existing and newconstruction

Standards, Code Compliance

ProCat® Insulation is manufactured in accordance with ASTM C764

ProCat® Insulation is certified by the State of California, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation as meeting the requirements of the California Standards for Insulating Material

ProCat® Insulation meets requirements of the State of Minnesota Standards for Insulation Materials and Installation

Design Considerations

To prevent fire or overheating of recessed light fixtures
or similar electrical devices, do not insulate on top of or
within 3 inches of such devices unless they are specifically
approved and labeled “IC rated” (insulation contact).

Do not place insulation in air spaces surrounding metal
flues, chimneys, or fireplaces. Provide minimum clearances
specified in NFPA-31, NFPA-54, or NFPA-211, or as
required by local building codes.

Installation

Stated R-value is achieved by installing the minimum

required number of bags per 1,000 net sq. ft. at a thickness

not less than the label minimum thickness and minimum sq.

ft. weight. Failure by the installer to provide both the required number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in lower insulation R-value.

In order to achieve the R Values stated on this data sheet,

strictly follow Owens Corning’s written instructions and

recommendations for the operation, maintenance and

service of the ProCat® machine.

Fiberglass and Mold

As manufactured, fiberglass insulation is resistant to mold

growth. However, mold growth can occur on building

materials, including insulation, when contaminated with

organic material and when water is present. To avoid mold

growth in fiberglass insulation, remove any water that has

accumulated and eliminate the source of the water as soon

as possible. Insulation that has become wet should be

inspected for residual moisture and organic material. Any

contaminated material should be promptly removed and

replaced.

ProCat® Insulation is classified by ASTM C764, section 4.1,

as “Type I - Pneumatic application” material. It is considered

noncombustible, per testing in accordance with ASTM E136,

and is permitted for use in all building construction types as

defined in the ICC Intl. Building Code (IBC).

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.

Owens Corning recommends and provides instructions

for installing ProCat® Insulation from the outside of exterior

sidewalls. You may also install it from the inside, however,

it is important to note that drill and fill installation from the

inside requires a strong working knowledge of construction

and framing principles, texture matching and other variables.

Please consult a professional contractor to perform this job,

if you do not have this expertise.

1. This standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire-hazard or fire-risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, the results of these tests may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment that takes into account all of the factors pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use. Values are reported to the nearest five (5) rating.
