Count on it!

Impasset: Saves lives, time and moneyIf you’ve ever been involved with installing curtain wall

insulation or a perimeter fire containment system, you may have thought there must be a better way to do it.

We thought the same thing.

New! Patented Impasse Curtain Wall Insulation Systems save money by reducing installation

time. Our engineers took a look at how curtain wall systems are usually installed and realized things needed

to be changed.

Instead of using hard-to-handle impaling pins, Impasse uses hangers that are inserted into FireSpan insulation before

installing spandrel insulation. This makes positioning faster, more accurate and safe.

And, Impasse makes your curtain wall insulation perform better. It uses a stepwise technique of overlapping

components during installation that lock the fire barriers in place. This virtually eliminates the possibility of insulation

materials being dislodged by violent air forces produced when fire breaks out.


Fire Performance Test (ASTM E119)

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the building: Why Thermafiber products scorch the competition

Of course you have a choice when it comes to the type of insulation you use in your buildings. Here’s why Thermafiber mineral wool sets

the standard in fire containment.

In addition to the energy saving and sound control properties, Thermafiber insulation also provides containment for fire and smoke

so it doesn’t spread to other floors. In multi-story buildings with a lot of people, that job isn’t just important, it’s a matter of life and death.

In 1971, Thermafiber, Inc. (then a division of United States Gypsum, USG) pioneered the testing of curtain wall fire containment systems for multi-

story construction. We continue to add new tests each year.

We do this because we know you want the type of insulation that withstands the highest heat for the longest time (so people can escape

and firefighters can respond). Thermafiber is “Born in FireE” because its raw material is actually a byproduct of the steel industry, formed at

temperatures above 2600°F.

And that means Thermafiber mineral wool can take a lot of extreme heat. As you can see from the chart below, ordinary glass fiber and cellulose

insulation melt or decompose at relatively low temperatures in minutes. But Thermafiber is still intact at 2080° F — even after five hours.

Thermafiber far outlasts cellulose and glass fiber

Go with Thermafiber, and

you’ll be ready to hang up

the old way of insulating

curtain wall systems forever.

Proprietary Impasse Insulation Hangers help improve accuracy and reduce installation time.


Our blades are sharpened and ready to go

Conventional insulation manufacturers send you a truckload of insulation and expect you

to cut it at your jobsite, incurring high labor costs. Thermafiber headquarters has a top-flight

customization shop, where we’ll cut insulation to your exact specifications ahead of time, and

deliver it ready to be installed. Special sizes, special shapes, special facings — you name it

and we’ve probably already done it.

We offer customized solutions that give you:

• Custom sizes

• Custom shapes

• Unitized packaging

• Custom labeling

• Custom loading

Why pay your guys to cut it on site? Order from Thermafiber pre-cut, packaged and

ready to go.

Slag is a beautiful thingWhat the steel industry throws away is the secret to

success for Thermafiber mineral wool. It’s also the secret to having high recycled content.

The largest “mineral” part of mineral wool is actually blast furnace slag, which is a valuable by-product of high-

temperature steel manufacturing. We heat slag in a cupola furnace at temperatures in excess of 2600° F, then spin

the molten substance into billions of fibers. The finished product insulates, controls sound and contains fire.

Thermafiber products contain up to 90% recycled slag. As you can see from the graph, other types of insulation

(for example, rigid foam and glass fiber) pale in comparison, with 40% and 50% recycled material.

Case Studies

No two are ever the same

That’s why we created

Thermafiber Insolutions



Case Study 1:

No room for a backer bar? No problemProject Overview: 34-story office building at 555 Mission Street, San Francisco.

The Challenge: As is often the case, the curtain wall design did not match any fire-containment assemblies listed by or IntertekE. In addition, the vision glass sill ran along the slab top, instead of the typical 2 to 3 feet above the slab top. Such an arrangement prohibited the use of a backer bar.

Thermafiber Insolution®: We designed a customized mechanical attachment plan. It included a detailed layout of horizontal ImpasseT Insulation Hangers, which combined with the sill to nullify the backer bar issue. Finally, Thermafiber issued an engineering judgment to address the IBC code requirement for perimeter fire containment.

Architectural results: • Retain aesthetics • Eliminate need for design revisions • Engineering judgment for two-hour fire rating• Obtain desired LEEDT rating

Construction results: • Reduce labor for fire-containment installation• Reduce overall installation costs• No modifications to other building systems

Insolutions applied:

Insulation solutions as unique as your buildingYou must meet the International Building Code. And your deadlines. And your budget. But you also want your building to reflect your unique vision and fulfill its aesthetic potential. What happens when those wants and needs conflict? When your design doesn’t mesh with listed perimeter fire-containment assemblies?

Thermafiber InsolutionsThermafiber Insolutions provide fire-containment systems matching your building’s design, resulting in easier understanding and approval by local planning commissions. Precise CAD details also aid in installation, inspection and approval. All consultative services are free. We protect your building by customizing our five-step approach:

No chargeOur Insolutions accompany every product we sell, from start to finish. We don’t separate our services from our products. That would just be insulation — not an Insolution.

Thermafiber incorporated its time-saving insulation hanger systems into a customized attachment plan for the 555 Mission Street project in San Francisco.

Case Study 2:

Mullion modification, moisture controlProject Overview: One World Trade Center, a 108-floor, 2.6-million-square-foot high-rise in New York City.

The Challenge: One World Trade Center’s (formerly Freedom Tower) glass panels span the floor-to-floor height (more than 13 feet) with no intermediate mullion, typically used for insulation hangers. Plus, the wet mullion system required sealing all mullion penetrations for moisture-control purposes.

Thermafiber Insolution®: We worked with the curtain wall manufacturer to modify the mullion design. Our engineers made Impasse hangers and customized an approved insulation system to fit the modifications. The use of ImpasseT hangers — instead of impaling pins — reduced the mullion penetrations, saving labor and preserving the integrity of the moisture-control system.

Architectural results: • Retain aesthetics of a landmark building• Meet or exceed stringent New York City fire code• Cost-effective system with integrity

Construction results: • Simple attachment to vertical mullion• Fewer mullion penetrations• Custom-fit spandrel insulation and Impasse hangers


Case Study 3:

Green high-rise with a need for LEEDT

Project Overview: 54-story Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park, New York City.

The Challenge: Bank of America Tower aspired to be the first high-rise to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Platinum LEEDT certification — the highest available.

Thermafiber Insolution: Thermafiber provided a perimeter fire-containment system that protects the occupants while also enhancing thermal comfort, energy savings, sound control and indoor air quality. With a minimum of 70% recycled content, the fire-containment system qualified for LEED Materials and Resources Credits 4.1 and 4.2 (recycled content) and 5.1 and 5.2 (regional materials). It also qualified for LEED Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1 (energy performance).

Architectural results: • Valuable LEEDT credits• Lower operational costs over life of building• Third-party certification of recycled content• Safe, quiet and comfortable building

Construction results: • Easy to fabricate and install • Fire, sound, thermal and green performance

in one product• Confidence in a product proven to protect lives


For One World Trade Center in New York City, Thermafiber teamed with the curtain wall manufacturer to modify the mullion design.

Thermafiber® Impasse® System Description:


Notice:


Thermafiber® IMPASSE® curtain wall insulation system is a patented design that streamlines the installation of curtain wall insulation by changing the order of traditional installation steps to fit a more logical progression and take full advantage of the fire protective, sound control, and vapor barrier properties of FireSpan® and Safing™ Insulation. Traditional curtain wall insulation systems call for installation of impaling pins on spandrel panels before installation of insulation. The insulation is then impaled onto the pins. The Impasse system is unique in that the hangers are inserted into the insulation before the insulation is installed into the panels. This technique saves time and money. The Impasse® system is tested and rated with UL® laboratories and provides up to 3 hours of fire protection.

Why most systems require a backer/reinforcement member.

A backer reinforcement member can be a galvanized 20 gauge steel angle, T-Bar or hat channel. This member is installed behind the curtain wall insulation at the safe-off line as a means of keeping the curtain wall insulation from bowing due to the 25-50% compression fit of the SafingTM Insulation, depending on the listed design.

See Figure 1 which shows the location of the backer/reinforcement member. Typically, without this member, the force from installing the Safing Insulation under high compression causes the curtain wall insulation to bow. Since the Safing Insulation can not follow the plane of the bowed curtain wall insulation, small gaps form. In the event of a fire, these small gaps will allow flame and hot gases to spread vertically to the next floor.

Thermafiber offers a system that does not incorporate a backer/reinforcement member.

Thermafiber has developed a 2 and 3 hour, UL Perimeter Fire Containment design that eliminates the need for installing a backer/reinforcement member(CW-D-1012 and CW-D-1013). This system incorporates a FireLedge®, mineral wool insulation shelf, in combination with spiral anchors to provide support to the Safing Insulation and to prevent the curtain wall insulation from bowing. See Figure 2.

Figure 2

FireLedge®

Backer/ReinforcementMember

Figure 1

What are the advantages of a No Backer Bar System?

Systems that include a backer/reinforcement member require mechanical attachment to the vertical mullions. Many curtain wall manufacturers want to minimize penetrations in the aluminum mullions with mechanical fasteners. The No Backer Bar System eliminates the need to make holes in the aluminum framing for a backer/reinforcement member.

By not having to install a backer/reinforcement member, the No Backer Bar System significantly reduces installation time and labor costs.

This system increases the R-Value of the assembly by requiring a minimum of 3” thick FireSpan® 90 insulation, and allows the space to do so since the no backer bar is present.

Often curtain wall mounting anchors are in locations that make it impossible to properly install a backer/reinforcement member. Eliminating the need for a backer bar simplifies the installation.

A metal panel system, also known as back pan design, requires that the backer/reinforcement member be mechanically attached to the back pan. Since the back pan is typically used to provide a vapor barrier, penetrating the panel with fasteners for the reinforcement member, may compromise the continuity of the vapor barrier. The No Backer Bar System eliminates the need to mechanically attach to the metal backpan.

Backer/reinforcement members used with transparent spandrel glass are not aesthetically appealing. The metal channels can be seen through the glass. Using the No Backer Bar system eliminates the need for unsightly metal members.

Many times backer/reinforcement members are improperly installed. The use of the no backer bar system eliminates potential installation errors.

How is the No Backer Bar System installed?

Step 1- Mechanically install a minimum 3” thick FireSpan 90 Insulation with Thermafiber Impasse Hangers into the spandrel framing opening so that the insulation is flush with interior face of the aluminum framing. Horizontal hangers are installed 6” in from each mullion and then spaced a maximum of 16” oc. Vertical hangers are installed 6” down from the top of the insulation panel and 6” from the bottom of the insulation panel.

Mechanically attach spandrel insulation.

Min. 3” Thick FireSpan 90 Insulation


Step 2- The next step is to install the FireLedge Insulation. The FireLedge is a FSP faced insulation 12” wide by 2” thick with the 6” wide section cut down to 1” thick. See Figure 3. The FireLedge is installed in conjunction with the Safing Insulation. Rest the Safing on the 1” ledge of the FireLedge. The Safing Insulation is to be put in under a minimum 25% compression with the fibers in the vertical direction and installed at a depth of 4”. Compress the Safing Insulation so that it can be installed in the safe-off opening. The FireLedge will run continuously over the FireSpan 90 Insulation and the vertical mullions at the floor level so that the 1” thick portion extends 2” above the top surface of the floor with the vertical seams abutted tightly together. Vertical seams in the FireLedge must be staggered with the vertical seams in the Safing Insulation. The top section of the FireLedge is secured to the FireSpan 90 Insulation with spiral anchors installed at a 45°angle through the Safing Insulation every 12” oc. See Figure 3. The lower section of the FireLedge is secured to the FireSpan 90 with spiral anchors installed at a 90° angle every 16” oc. See Figures 3 and 4.

Step 3- Protect exposed vertical mullions with 2” minimum thickness x 10” wide FireSpan 90 Insulation Mullion Covers. Mullion Covers are to be centered over mullions and secured to curtain wall insulation with Spiral Anchors spaced a maximum of 12” oc. Mullion Covers are to be notched to step over the FireLedge material and abut the top of the Safing Insulation. Mullion Covers below the floor will abut to the bottom of the FireLedge material. See Figure 5.

FSP Curtain Wall or FSP Curtain Wall or FIRESPAN Insulation is the FIRESPAN Insulation same as regular curtain wall insulation with

a tough scrim-reinforced foil facing thatserves as a vapor retarder. The facing alsoadds durability for field installation.

Dark Curtain Wall or Dark Curtain Wall or FIRESPAN Insulation is FIRESPAN Insulation similar to regular curtain wall insulation

except it has a darker color for backingdark-colored glass spandrel panels. Usingdark insulation instead of light insulationimproves the look of the assembly. Becausethe combined effects of color and shadingcan be unpredictable, a full-scale mock-upof the insulated spandrel is required toensure desired appearance.

LIFE-SAFETY FIRE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS

Why do you need “fire containment”?The first priority in building safety is containment of both fire and smoke to the area of origin. For mid- and high-rise buildings, fire and smoke must beprevented from spreading to the next floor. Since the floor assembly is typically a fire-rated system, a possible route for fire spread is through and upthe exterior curtain wall system, which is frequently overlooked. In order to protect this weak point, the exterior curtain wall system must (1) eliminatethe “flue opening” between the floor slab and spandrel panel, and (2) provide a fire containment barrier that causes the flames exiting the vision areaon one floor to be diverted and cooled so that they are less likely to ignite combustibles on the floor above.

THERMAFIBER Life-Safety Fire Containment Systems protect perimeters by combining THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation, THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall or FIRESPAN

Insulation and THERMAFIBER SMOKE SEAL or FIRECODE Compound. Note: These products are designed to complement each other in an assembly and shouldn’t be combined with products having different fire-containment values.

Code Requirements All model building codes in the U.S.A. require that the gap at the slab edge/curtain wall interface be treated to maintain the same fire integrity as thefloor-ceiling. The THERMAFIBER Life-Safety Fire Containment Systems have been independently tested by Underwriters Laboratories and Omega PointLaboratories and accepted or recognized (ICBO ER-2331, California State Fire Marshal, OSHPD) as maintaining fire containment from floor to floor.

How the THERMAFIBER System Works THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall and Safing Insulations have effectively stopped fire for manyyears. However, experience has shown smoke to be often more life-threatening than fire.

The THERMAFIBER Life-Safety Fire Containment Systems for perimeter protection combinesfoil-faced insulation with a specially designed fire and smoke resistant sealant to form an effective barrier to the passage of smoke as well as fire. At slab perimeters,THERMAFIBER SMOKE SEAL, FIRECODE Compound, or other approved smoke sealant is used toseal the THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation to both the foil facing of THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall or FIRESPAN Insulation and the floor slab. This seal completely bridges the top of the opening between the slab and the curtain wall, effectively eliminating the passage of fireand smoke through this area.

See specific system for details on the approved smoke sealant.

In an unprotected curtain wall, or inone protected with low-melt glass fiberinsulation, there are three ways inwhich fire can spread from floor to floor.

1. Through the space between the slab edgeand the curtain wall.

2. Through the window head mullion and then up through the cavity of the curtain wall.

3. Out through the broken vision glass and back in through the curtain wall.

THERMAFIBER Life-Safety Fire ContainmentProducts compartmentalize fire,preventing it from spreading from thefloor of origin up to the floor above by:

1. Filling the slab-edge/curtain wall gap withThermafiber Safing Insulation

2. Protecting the vertical mullions 3. Providing a vertical barrier to fire using

Aluminum-Framed The following checklist contains important details that must be included in a THERMAFIBER Fire Containment SystemCurtain Wall Systems— used in an aluminum-framed curtain wall system with aluminum, glass or stone spandrel panels. (See specific test Design Criteria design for details.)

1. THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall (CW) or FIRESPAN Insulation is mechanically attached to mullions and transoms usingimpaling pins, screws or other positive mechanical attachment.

2. Exposed aluminum mullions must be protected with THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall (CW) or FIRESPAN Insulation mullioncovers. (See specific test design for details.)

3. THERMAFIBER Safing insulation is compression fit (minimum 1/2” wider than opening) (see specific test designfor details) into safe-off area (2”-8”) and supported with safing “Z” clips (optional in some designs).

4. A light steel angle or channel is placed horizontally at the safing line, attached to vertical mullions—either within the insulation at a horizontal splice, or behind the insulation and attached to vertical mullions. This detailprevents bowing of curtain wall insulation due to the compression fit of the safing insulation.

5. To further resist passage of smoke, systems that do not include FIRECODE Compound or other approved smokesealant should utilize foil-faced THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation (flush with the top of the slab) and be perimeter-caulked with THERMAFIBER SMOKE SEAL Compound; or utilize a 1/2” fill of THERMAFIBER SMOKE SEAL Compound overthe Foil-Faced THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation (recessed 1/2” from the top of the slab).

Steel Stud-Framed Curtain Wall Systems—Design Criteria

THERMAFIBER Fire Containment Curtain Wall System—Design Criteria



Selector—Curtain Wall Fire Containment Traditional fire testing procedures are designed to evaluate a specific element (wall, beam or floor-ceiling) independently. However, in curtain wall fires, the simultaneous attack of fire and smoke on several constructionelements dictates the need for a method to evaluate the independent elements of a fire-containment system asa whole. Thermafiber Inc. is actively participating on a technical committee with the American Society of TestingMaterials (ASTM) to develop a standard test method for determining the fire-endurance of different curtain wallfire-containment assemblies. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Omega Point Laboratories (OPL), testing withthe Intermediate-Scale, Multi-Story Test Apparatus, have tested and listed Thermafiber in over 50 curtain wallsystems in their Fire Resistance Directory under a new classification titled “Perimeter Fire ContainmentSystems.” These UL and OPL-Classified systems, along with tests witnessed by UL and other independent parties, are noted in the selector below. Note: Low-melt-point insulations cannot be substituted for THERMAFIBER

Insulations in any tested assembly. It is imperative that THERMAFIBER Curtain Wall or FIRESPAN Insulations andTHERMAFIBER Safing Insulation be used together to achieve fire containment.

Safing Insulation Fire Containment Detail & Physical Description & Test No.Fire Containment(1)

3 hr. Spandrel panel containing CW insulation —safe-off area sealed with 4” thickTHERMAFIBER Safing Insulation—WJE 3-3-72 and USG 11-30-71

Notes:(1) This is a test designed to demonstrate the performance of THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation in a curtain wall application. Tests are identified as WJE 3-3-72 and USG 11-30-71.

Performance of THERMAFIBER fire-tested an unprotected granite panel curtain wall system in February 1989 to determine Uninsulated Panels whether stone panels need fire protection to maintain their integrity in curtain wall assemblies:

– THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation alone (no CW insulation) was used to fill the void between the slab edge and thegranite panel.

– At seven minutes into the ASTM E119 (ANSI/UL 263) time-temperature controlled test, cracks formed in the 3 cm thick granite panel, and went completely through the granite.

– Conclusion: Without the additional fire protection of curtain wall insulation, the granite panel system may fail.

Performance of A glass spandrel panel system was also fire tested. It was protected with glass fiber curtain wall insulation Low-Melt-Point and THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation. The purpose of the test was to determine whether glass fiber insulations can Insulations be used for fire-containment in conjunction with THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation.

– At ten minutes into the ASTM E119 (ANSI/UL 263) time-temperature controlled test, the glass fiber insulationbegan to melt.

– At 21 minutes, 45 seconds, the glass spandrel shattered.– When the glass shattered, the THERMAFIBER Safing Insulation fell out intact.– Conclusion: Glass fiber insulations readily melt in fire, providing insufficient fire containment.

Smoke Control After successfully developing systems to provide fire containment in curtain wall and penetration applications,Thermafiber addressed a second life-safety concern, smoke control. The company developed and tested smokecontrol systems for the following reasons:– Smoke Inhalation causes 75% of all fire deaths.– 65% of all fire deaths occur away from the fire room.– There is no industry-accepted test method to evaluate the ability of a material or assembly to contain smoke, in

perimeter fire containment systems.– Contact a Thermafiber representative for more information on smoke control.

Sound THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets (SAFB) are nominal 2.5-lb./cu. ft. (4 lb./cu. ft. for 1”) density blankets Attenuation specifically intended to be used for sound attenuation in walls and ceilings. They are highly effective in reducing Fire Blankets sound transmission. They are provided in standard widths of 15”, 16”, 17”, 24” and 25” by 48” length for installation

between studs or joists. They are available in thicknesses of 1” to 6” (in 1/2” increments) to provide a variety oflevels of sound attenuation.They are particularly useful in partitions requiring fire ratings and as overlayment foracoustical tile or panel ceilings to improve acoustics. Surface burning characteristics are flame spread 0, smokedeveloped 0.

Sound Attenuation Depending on the particular assembly and application, partition STC ratings have been improved up to eleven pointsFire Blanket by installing THERMAFIBER SAFB in the stud cavity. The insulation also has been shown to improve MTC ratings for Assemblies

low-frequency sound attenuation, isolating sounds from machinery, mechanical equipment and music.THERMAFIBER SAFBs are superior to glass fiber in sound attenuation. In fact, low-density (<1 lb./cu.ft.) glass fiberinsulation requires greater thickness than standard THERMAFIBER SAFB to provide the same attenuation.

Creased THERMAFIBER These engineered assemblies offer the most economical drywall and veneer plaster sound systems in the SAFB Assemblies 50 to 55 STC range. They are also fire-rated, making them ideal for party and corridor walls in hotels, motels,

offices and multi-family dwellings. The Creased THERMAFIBER SAFB system is a patented insulation blanket assembly that is 1” wider than regular blankets. After the blanket is installed in the partition cavity, a 1” vertical slit is field-cut partially through the center of the blanket, allowing it to be creased. Compressing the extra width into the stud cavity buckles the center, exerting pressure against both studs and drywall. This pressure dampens sound vibrations and boosts the partition’s STC rating. For example, a single-layer drywall partition with Creased THERMAFIBER SAFB has the same STC rating as an unbalanced drywall partition with standard SAFB.

For further information about THERMAFIBER SAFB and Creased SAFB, request TF885, Thermafiber SoundAttenuation Fire Blankets (SAFB) available from Thermafiber Inc.

BSA 39-74-SM, MEA 209-82, Vol. II.Good Design 1 Vapor Retarders—In air conditioned buildings in localities where high humidity and temperatures predominate, consideration should be givenPractices to placing the vapor retarder on warm (outside) wall to prevent moisture condensation within the insulation. Actual placement of moisture barrier

should be specified by a qualified professional engineer, based on local climatic conditions.2 Ceilings—Insulation should be carefully fitted around—not over—recessed light fixtures. Improperly covering fixtures with insulation causes heat to

build up, possibly resulting in fire.3 Glass Spandrels—To prevent possible moisture problems and to minimize thermal build-up within the cavity, minimum 1” air space is required

between glass spandrels and insulation behind them.4 Exterior Walls—Penetrations in exterior walls for windows, doors, outlets, HVAC, etc., must be sealed with sealant or tape. Foil tape also should be

used with foil-faced product applications to close joints and repair damaged areas. Mechanical attachment of safing and curtain wall insulation isrequired to avoid dislodging because of air movement, particularly in furred exterior walls without sheathing or backing.

5 Test Data—Thermafiber Inc. will provide data for published fire, sound and structural systems designed and constructed according to its published specifications. Tests were conducted on curtain wall assemblies fire-protected with these products to meet performance requirementsspecified by various agencies. System performance following any substitution of materials or compromise in assembly design cannot be certifiedand may result in failure under critical conditions.

THERMAFIBER® Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets (SAFB) are the best way to stop sound in wall andceiling assemblies. The noncombustible mineral-fiber composition of this product not only givesit high sound attenuation characteristics, but also enables it to contribute to high fire ratings inmany assemblies. The tests prove that THERMAFIBER SAFBs are the best performance value formulti-family residential projects, hotels and motels, offices and retail businesses. A few of theinnumerable tests of assemblies utilizing THERMAFIBER SAFBs for sound and fire performance areshown on pages 5-9. For other available systems contact THERMAFIBER, INC.

System Performance THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets are the highestquality insulations in the building industry. Systems incorporating THERMAFIBER SAFBs exhibitthe following features:—— More fire, sound and thermal tests than any other insulation product.—— High density of THERMAFIBER SAFBs makes them resist sagging and stand up better in

stud cavities.—— Enhances fire protection—adds to fire performance of many assemblies (see pages 5-9).—— Efficient sound performance—see pages 5-9 for 30 typical assemblies with sound and

fire ratings.—— Special details—Can be used in acoustical ceilings as overlayment to reduce flanking

sound; “creased” systems provide additional sound performance through acousticengineering. Note that THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets may be used in awide variety of acoustical applications, including those in occupied spaces and ceilingair plenums.

Superior Sound Attenuation Ratings have improved by as much as 11 pointsin some cases when THERMAFIBER SAFBs are installed in stud cavities. These blankets are alsoeffective in reducing low-frequency sound levels from machinery, mechanical equipment andmusic. Features include:—— Higher efficiency attenuation than with glass fiber insulation. A test conducted by USG

showed the following performance: A 3-5/8" steel-framed wall with 5/8" gypsum panelson both sides tested as STC 40 (no insulation); with 3-1/2" glass fiber insulation in thestud cavity, performance improved to STC 47; with 3" THERMAFIBER SAFBs instead, per-formance was STC 49. The same system with 3" Creased THERMAFIBER SAFBs yielded anSTC 51.

—— High density insulation provides high-performance attenuation at medium and highfrequencies—critical frequencies when speech is the principal sound source (such as in offices).

Superior Fire Resistance All THERMAFIBER products perform well in fire protection:—— THERMAFIBER SAFBs are defined as “noncombustible” by NFPA Standard 220 when tested

according to ASTM E136.—— Tests proved that THERMAFIBER products can resist temperatures in excess of 2,000 °F,

comparing favorably with glass fiber products that begin to disintegrate and melt atabout 1,050 °F.

—— Side-by-side fire-exposure test conducted according to ASTM E119 test proceduredemonstrated that THERMAFIBER insulation remained intact significantly longer than theglass fiber insulation. In a one hour test, THERMAFIBER Insulation maintained its integritymore than twice as long as the glass fiber insulation (see next page).

Benefits of Thermafiber SAFB’s

Higher Recycle Content:Thermafiber SAFB’s consist of over

80% recycled content versus 40–50%

recycled content of glass fiber and

other ordinary mineral wool products.

LEED®

Credits:Using Thermafiber insulation products

can make it possible to earn up to 20

LEED®

credits for your building from 4

different categories.

Reduction of GHG Emissions:Thermafiber insulation reduces the

amount of energy needed to heat and

cool a building. Less energy use

means less Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

emissions.

Better Indoor Air Quality:Thermafiber insulation meets and

exceeds the California standard for

chemical emissions, one of the highest

standards in the country. Our

insulation is also inorganic, which

means there is no food source to grow

mold or mildew.

Fire Performance Effective performance for both high sound and fire ratings is the unique characteristic of THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Testing Blankets. Glass fiber insulation simply doesn’t compare. Glass fiber’s lower density means lower sound performance, according

to sound tests conducted by USG.

Evaluations of various densities and thicknesses showed that the best acoustical performance in mid- and high-frequency sound (typical in offices and between hotel rooms) was with insulations of a nominal density of 2.5 lb./cu. ft. Densities above 2.5 lb./cu. ft. performed better at higher frequencies. Insulations below 2.5 lb./cu. ft. performed poorly in attenuating mid- and high-frequency sound. THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets have a nominal density of 2.5 lb./cu. ft., while glass fiberinsulations typically fall in the range of 0.7 to 0.8 lb./cu. ft. Results vary for the specific assembly, but tests demonstrated thatTHERMAFIBER SAFBs provided STC ratings of up to 4 points higher than glass fiber insulations*, even when the glass fiber was1/2-in. to 1-in. thicker.

Because THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets are manufactured from slag, a by-product of iron ore reduction, the mineralfiber in THERMAFIBER Blankets is highly resistant to fire. Thus many of the systems this product is used in have high fire ratings as well as sound ratings.

In a fire test conducted to compare the fire performance of THERMAFIBER products with competitive look-alike products with noextensive fire testing, glass fiber failed to stand up to fire. For one test, a single wall assembly was constructed of 25-ga., 3-1/2-in.galvanized steel studs to form four 16-in. stud cavities. Each of the stud cavities was filled with a different brand of aluminumfoil-faced insulation—three were typical glass fiber brands and one (pictured below, second from left) was THERMAFIBER Insulation.

The assembly was oriented with aluminum foil-faced side exposed to a fire chamber. The fire was controlled in accordance withASTM E119 time-temperature relationship. Three minutes into the test, all three glass fiber insulations began to discolor, and 17minutes into the test, fire had penetrated them. At the end of 55 minutes, the glass fiber insulations had all melted or fallencompletely away from the stud cavities, while the THERMAFIBER Insulation remained intact (see photo).

In a test of three glass fiber insulations versus THERMAFIBER Insulation, the glass fiber insulation melted away resulting in studs contact with flame. The THERMAFIBER Insulation and surrounding frame are still intact.

* Note: Comparative tests were conducted with a series of partitions using 2.5-3.0 lb./cu. ft. density THERMAFIBER SAFBs versus 0.7-0.8 lb./cu. ft. glass fiber insulation of equal orgreater thickness. The results showed that THERMAFIBER SAFBs improved performance by an average of 0.9 dB in the 125/250 Hz octave band center frequencies, 1.6 dB in the500/1000 Hz octave band center frequencies and 3.3 dB in the 2000/4000 Hz octave band center frequencies.

Technical Data THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets are available in two densities and nine thicknesses to meet a variety of sound and fire performance needs. Also, Creased THERMAFIBER SAFB, a specially engineered product, is available for certain high-performancesound-rated assemblies.

The table below shows the R-values and densities available for various thicknesses of THERMAFIBER SAFBs, as well as “k” values,sizes, flame spread and smoke developed ratings and density tolerances.

THERMAFIBER SAFB insulation in a typical partition assembly.

Creased This specially engineered SAFB insulation is the same composition as regular SAFBs; however, it is THERMAFIBER SAFBs 3 in. thick and one inch wider (25 in.* instead of 24 in.). When the insulation is installed into the stud

cavity, a vertical slit (approximately one inch deep) is field cut down the center of the blanket.

When the drywall panel is applied over the creased insulation, the blanket is compressed inside thecavity, forcing the edges of the blanket against the studs and the center of the blanket against thegypsum panel. The pressure exerted against the assembly components dampens sound vibrationsand boosts the STC rating of the partition.

* A 17 in. wide product is also available for 16 in. o.c. stud spacing.

After conventional installation of steel studs and one layer of dry-wall, installer inserts 25 in. wide Creased 3-in. THERMAFIBER SAFB into 24-in. wide stud cavity, then slits blankets to a depth of about1 in. Sound performance is completed through application of gypsum panels.

Good Design Practices 1. System performance following substitution of materials or compromise in assembly design cannot be certified and may result in failure of sound and/or fire performance under certain conditions. For example, substitution of a low-densityglass fiber insulation in place of the THERMAFIBER SAFB may compromise the acoustic balance and therefore reduce theacoustical performance of the system. “See UL directory for a list of approved gypsum board manufacturers.”

2. Adjacent assemblies should be designed or selected to be of similar sound control performance. Flanking sound pathsshould be acoustically treated or eliminated. The combined sound performance of the systems between adjacent spaceswill be close to that of the lowest performing element.

3. Proper application of acoustical sealant is critical to effectively seal the wall and reduce sound transmission. For drywallpartitions, place a continuous bead of sealant along all perimeter edges between the gypsum panels and the surround-ing floor, wall and ceiling elements. Do this on each side of the wall. Also, place a bead of acoustical sealant aroundducts, electrical boxes, sprinkler heads, telephone jacks and any other penetrations.

4. Wall Penetrations and Perimeters—Penetrations for windows, HVAC and all wall perimeters must be sealed withacoustical sealant. Insulation must be used behind medicine cabinets and other wall-inserted devices to prohibit pas-sage of sound.

5. When penetrations, such as telephone jacks, electrical outlets, pipes, etc., occur on the opposite sides of a demisingwall, offset them by at least one stud cavity.

6. When outlet boxes occur on the opposite side of a demising wall, the backs and sides of the outlet boxes should beacoustically caulked with acoustical sealant; acoustically caulk any gap surrounding the box as well.

7. Vapor Retarders—Vapor retarders normally are placed on the warm side of the wall to prevent moisture from enteringthe stud cavity. Actual placement of moisture barrier should be specified by a qualified professional engineer, based onlocal climatic conditions.

8. Ceilings—Insulation should be carefully fitted around—not over—light fixtures. Improperly covering light fixtures withinsulation causes heat to build up, possibly resulting in fire. Note that THERMAFIBER Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets maybe used in a wide variety of acoustical applications, including those in occupied spaces and ceiling air plenums.

Notice:

Thermafiber® RainBarrier®/Continuous Insulation products are designed for exceptional performance in rain screen and cavity wall construction applications. RainBarrier® 45 insulation provides thermal insulation, fire protection, and acoustical control while efficiently draining water from a wall cavity system. Its natural, dark color provides camouflaging in open joint facades and eliminates the need for black facing. Thermafiber, Inc. does not recommend applying a black facing in open joint applications because the manufacturers of the facing do not support their long term exposure. RainBarrier® products are non-combustible and compatible with common wall ties, adhesives, and air barrier systems.

Technical Data:





Notice:

Thermafiber RainBarrier® HD is a high density board with a consistent 6.0 pcf density throughout the entire thickness of the product. The consistent density from top to bottom helps eliminate the need to orient the piece in a certain direction. Its natural, dark color provides camouflaging in open joint facades and helps eliminate the need for black facing. Thermafiber Inc. does not recommend applying a black facing in open joint applications because the manufacturers of the facing do not support their long term exposure. RainBarrier® HD continuous insulation products are designed for exceptional performance in rain screen and cavity wall construction applications. Mineral wool provides thermal insulation, fire protection and acoustical control while efficiently draining water from a cavity system. All RainBarrier® products are non-combustible and compatible with common wall ties and air barrier systems.

Thermafiber RainBarrier T

Continuous Insulation (ci)

Thermal and fire protection in rain

screen/cavity wall construction

RainBarrier insulation easily installs with common wall ties, façade channels and insulation hangers.

It’s easy to specify Thermafiber To specify RainBarrier, just:

1. Go to www.thermafiber.com or log on to your favorite spec service website:


www.masterspec.com

2. Type “Thermafiber” in the search box

3. Click on “Specs” or follow the link to Thermafiber.com and click on “Architectural Specs”


Designed for use in open-joint façade construction


Thermafiber® RainBarrier® repels and efficiently drains water in cavity wall systems. Left unchecked, water problems can quickly lead to mold, energy waste, corrosion and rot, among other issues. RainBarrier also adds safety, security, comfort and appeal to your building by offering the following benefits:

• Protects your building from fire and smoke with non-combustible material. Smoke protection can be especially critical in high-occupancy buildings such as schools, hospitals and dormitories.

ASTM E 84 Test results

Rigid foam Thermafiber RainBarrier

Flame spread # 50 (Class B) 0 (Class A)

Smoke developed # 450 (Class B) 0 (Class A)

“Flame spread” and “smoke developed” are terms used to describe burning characteristics of building materials. Rigid foam receives a smoke developed number of 450 — the worst score possible. Non-combustible RainBarrier receives ratings of 0 — the best possible — for both smoke developed and flame spread.

• Lets your building “breathe.” RainBarrier is air/vapor permeable, providing better control over humidity, condensation and air quality — and more flexibility when positioning the vapor barrier. (Rigid foam blocks airflow making it more difficult for the building to breathe.)

• Provides dark and light color options — not just blue or pink — on our base product, making it easy to camouflage the insulation in open-joint systems.

• Reduces noise, leading to fewer distractions and less stress.

• Improves energy efficiency. For less than the price of rigid foam, RainBarrier® can provide an equivalent or greater R-Value. By insulating on the outboard and inboard sides, you can also reduce long-term operating costs.

* R = thickness ÷ thermal conductivity (R = t/k). R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulation power.

Fire safetyMoisture resistanceSustainabilityEnergy efficiency in buildings becomes more critical every day. Adding RainBarrier® as the continuous

insulation (ci) on the exterior of your building can help you meet stringent new building codes, such

as ASHRAE 90.1. Increasing the amount of insulation used in buildings reduces the amount of heating

and cooling needed, which in turn reduces carbon emissions. Rainscreen construction is an effective

practice that has been refined in Europe for decades, and it’s making a big impact in the U.S.

• Flexible: RainBarrier is semi-rigid and easy to cut, giving you more flexibility and tighter joints versus the jagged edges of field-cut foam

• Compatible: Install with common wall ties, insulation hangers and air / vapor barrier systems (for a complete list of installation techniques and recommendations, visit www.thermafiber.com/rainbarrier)

Unlike rigid foam, RainBarrier flexes for a better fit on curved walls and other surfaces.

Safer in the building• Containment: Improves life safety

by preventing fire and smoke from spreading

• Non-combustible: RainBarrier remains intact at 2,080° F, even after 5 hours of testing

• Air quality: Results of chemical emissions tests show RainBarrier exceeds California’s rigorous standard for formaldehyde concentration

• Sound control: Helps reduce noise between floors, walls and reduces noise pollution from outside sources

Better for the environment • Recycled: Made with up to 90%

recycled content (slag, a byproduct of steel manufacturing)

• Efficient: Thermal transfer reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a building, which also reduces carbon emissions

• Beneficial: Contributes to 13 LEED® credit categories

Easy-to-cut RainBarrier installs with common wall ties and insulation hangers.

The outside of a 100-watt light bulb reaches about 477° F. Rigid foam melts at 300° F.

Aluminum Foil and FSK Tapes are used in curtain wall buildings like these in New York City. The tapes work in conjunction with foil faced FireSpan™ Curtain Wall Insulation to create a vapor barrier for the building envelope.

FSK Tape is used to seal the edges of a mullion cover (FireSpan™ 90) prior to mechanically securing the mullion cover with Thermafiber’s Impasse® Spiral Anchors.

Product Options: system.

Installation: 1. The surface to which the tape is to be applied should be free of oils, dust and dirt. The surface should be cleaned with a dry cloth.2. The release liner should then be removed 1-2 feet at a time and the adhesive face pressed firmly on the insulation facing. Care should be taken not to stretch the tape tightly as this will create buckles and voids in the contact area. Care must also be taken to apply the tape on center so that there is adequate area on both sides of the joint for the tape to bond. Uneven width distribution also puts additional shear stress on the smaller side of the butt joint.3. The tape should then be wiped firmly from the center out (like wallpaper) with the black soft side of the white plastic wiping tool enclosed with each carton. The more pressure that is applied, the more surface contact will be reached, therefore, the greater the bond surface.4. The tape should then be cut and fitted with a knife and scissors. The same wiping instructions should be used as in Step #3.

Notice:


THERMAFIBER® FixtureShield® kits are designed to maintain fire rating in UL listed suspended and gypsum ceiling systems. The FixtureShield kits come with everything needed to complete a quick, labor-saving installation. Each kit includes the pre-fabricated Thermafiber Insulation and all the required insulation pins, including standoff pins to maintain air space requirements. FixtureShield insulation kits also provide energy savings, speech privacy, sound control, and a 70% post-industrial recycled content product that contributes to LEED® green building credits. All Thermafiber mineral wool insulation products resist temperatures above 2000°F are noncombustible, moisture-resistant, noncorrosive, nondeteriorating, mildew-proof and vermin-proof. The FixtureShield design is patented, US Patent 7,627,999.

• Thermafiber® FixtureShield insulation received an NRC of 1.00 when tested at a 2” thickness per ASTM C 423• FixtureShield kits greatly improve Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) ratings between adjacent spaces.

o In a recent test, 2 – FixtureShield® kits covering 24”x48” light fixtures improved the CAC rating by 4 db. Thisis a significant reduction as a 3 db change sounds as if the noise level doubled. Tested per ASTM E 1414.

• Higher CAC ratings increase privacy and reduce sound transmission in offices, classrooms, healthcare exam rooms,conference rooms, and other adjacent spaces.

Custom sized fixture covers are available for can lights, speakers, HVAC diffusers, and other ceiling penetrations. Accurate L, W, & H dimensions will be needed when orders are placed.

FIBROUS GLASS: The 2002 Monograph issued by the International Agency forResearch on Cancer (IARC) removed fibrous glass from its’ list of possible carcino-gens (Group 2B). It is now classified as Group 3, not classifiable as to human car-cinogenicity.

OSHA and other U.S. government agencies still require that a warning label beplaced on this product. This warning identifies a possible hazard while not identify-ing the degree of risk. OSHA regulations do not require respiratory protection aslong as the exposure to fibrous glass does not exceed 1 fiber/cubic centimeter (f/cc)TWA (8 hour time weighted average). Fibrous glass exposure in the home, commer-cial buildings, and manufacturing facilities is generally found to be less than 1 f/cc.Installers and fabricators should be aware of their exposure levels and take appro-priate actions if needed per recommended work practices. Guidance on typical fiberexposure for various applications can be obtained from the North AmericanInsulation Manufacturers Association, www.NAIMA.org.
