DESCRIPTION
Thermally Bonded Polyester Insulation
Platinum Fibre’s Fabufill polyester insulation is a versatile, easy to install, flexible, strong, lightweight blanket and is manufactured from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles. Produced in a range of different thickness to provide a myriad of thermal and acoustic performances. This non-allergenic, non-irritant and resilient insulation does not support the spread of flame, (Class B/B1/2 fire rating) and is the only polyester insulation available in the marketplace with the SABS mark.
Used in roofs, ceilings, partitions and walls and is manufactured in widths to suit standard spacings of studs, ceiling and floor joists.
After its use, Fabufill’s polyester insulation can be easily recycled, making this the perfect ‘cradle to grave’ insulation product.

OTHER INFORMATION:
Durability:
Fabufill does not physically deteriorate over time and does not require any maintenance.
Properties are such that the material will not be damaged during normal handling and installations.
Fungal Attack:
Fabufill has good resistance to bacteria, fungi and mildew, and fibre-devouring insects will
not damage Fabufill polyester insulation since it is indigestible (tested in accordance with SANS 5484.)
Moisture Absorption: 0.78% (SANS 1381-1:2013 allows up to 2%)
