The first ever environmentally advanced alternative
Aquaset(TM) acrylic thermosetting technology* from Rohm and Haas is the first ever environmentally advanced alternative to formaldehyde in the production of high-performance fiberglass insulation. During the manufacture of insulation batting, filaments of fiber are spun from molten sand and bound together with a resin. Until now, that resin typically contained formaldehyde, a compound coming under increasing scrutiny by environmental regulatory agencies worldwide. New water-based Aquaset resin enables manufacturers to offer fiberglass insulation with performance that is comparable, under the same conditions, to traditional insulation, but made without formaldehyde emissions.
Benefits to contractors
Specifically for building contractors, environmentally advanced Aquaset technology compared to formaldehyde-containing insulation offers ...
-- Freedom from formaldehyde emissions during and after installation
-- Similar R-values
-- Comparable compressibility, moldability and recovery
-- Superior resistance to sagging and deterioration, even in high humidity
conditions
-- Distinctive bright white batting that appeals to homeowners
According to a recent survey, it's not just builders of new homes that can benefit from the rapidly growing trend to go green. About 40 percent of people who recently had home remodeling or renovation work completed in their homes reported that green products or materials were used. In addition to being motivated by lower operating and maintenance costs, nearly half of the homeowners said that they were motivated by environmental concerns and their family's health.

*Aquaset technology is not made with formaldehyde-based materials nor does it release formaldehyde under normal cure conditions.
