Formaldehyde-free Insulation

Johns Manville

The JM Formaldehyde-free Cavity-SHIELD is a NFPA 13 compliant, fiberglass batt insulation for use in the concealed spaces of multifamily buildings. The fiberglass batts are a noncombustible insulation product made up of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with thermosetting resin. The batts are designed for use in concealed spaces between floors, serving as a passive fire solution for limiting potential flame spread between and through floors.

• Batts are friction-fit into cavities, without the need for special equipment, reducing the time and resources required for installers to complete the job
• Available in a wide range of thicknesses, the product can be easily cut with a standard utility knife to fit in any cavity size
• The insulation is another option for construction professionals looking for passive fire protection and a cost-effective alternative to blow in or sprinklers in the interstitial space
• Fiberglass has proven to withstand the life of the project and will not rot, mildew or deteriorate 
• The insulation offers the same acoustical reduction benefits between floors when compared to other JM insulation products
