Description
Knauf Insulation Jet Stream® MAX Fiber Glass Blowing
Insulation is an unbonded, virgin fibrous glass blowing insulation
designed with optimal thermal properties in addition to excellent
coverage and blowing characteristics.
Application
Knauf Insulation Jet Stream MAX Fiber Glass Blowing Insulation
is installed in open attics of both new and existing structures
and/or in closed cavity applications with the BIBS®
system (Blow-in-Blanket System) in which ventilation is not
required. Jet Stream MAX, when used in closed cavity applications
is BIBS approved and can only be installed by BIBS certified
installers to ensure the highest quality installed performance.
Loose fill blowing insulation is intended for use where
pneumatically installed insulation is most cost-effective.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Thermal Performance
- Fills all gaps and voids, creating a thermal barrier against
outside air and better
temperature control.
- Resists heat flow with an R-value of:
- R-15 in 2 x 4 construction
- R-24 in 2 x 6 construction
Convenient
- One Product, one inventory, two applications.
Energy Conservation
- Reduces fuel usage and utility bills for
heating and air conditioning.
Sustainable
- Each bag contains the equivalent of over 47 recycled
bottles, with a minimum of
61.9% post- consumer recycled glass content.
Noise Reduction
- Improves Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings by 4 to 10
points.
Permanence
- Non-combustible, non-corrosive.
- Will not rot, mildew or deteriorate.
Installation
Thermal Performance
Jet Stream MAX Blowing Insulation provides you with a choice of
R-values based on the installed thickness and installed weight per
square foot. The tables to the right show the minimum requirements
for obtaining the desired R-value.
The stated thermal resistance (R-value) is provided by
installing the required number of bags per 1,000 sq. ft. of net
area, at not less than the labeled minimum thickness (per the
manufacturer’s instructions). Failure to install both the required
number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in
lower insulation R-values.
Field blending of this product with other loose fill insulation
or application of this product in conjunction with adhesive or
binder systems may affect its thermal performance and is not
recommended by the manufacturer.
Framing Adjustments
As shown in the table on the last page, to compensate for the
framing members in open attic applications, the number of bags per
1,000 sq. ft. of area.
Specification Compliance
- CCMC 13404-L; 13422-R
- ASTM C 764; Type I
- HH-I-1030B; Class B
- GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified®
- GREENGUARD Children and Schools CertifiedSM
Knauf Jet Stream MAX Fiber Glass Blowing Insulation is manufactured
with a minimum of 61.9% post-consumer recycled glass.
Technical Data
Surface Burning Characteristics
- Does not exceed 25 Flame Spread, 50 Smoke Developed when tested
in accordance with ASTM E 84 and CAN 4-S102.2.
Critical Radiant Flux (ASTM E 970)
Moisture Vapor Sorption (ASTM C 1104)
Corrosion (ASTM C 764)
- No greater than sterile cotton.
Microbial Growth (ASTM C 1338)
- Does not support microbial growth.
Non-Combustibility (ASTM E 136)
- No temperature rise above 54°F (30°C).
Equipment Required
To achieve labeled R-value, this product must be applied with a
pneumatic blowing machine and a corrugated hose with a minimum ¼"
internal corrugation, a minimum length of 150' and a diameter of at
least 3". Coils in the hose should not be less than 36" in
diameter. Acceptable material feed rate is 5-35 lbs./minute. The
recommended feed rate is 15-25 lbs./minute. For closed cavity
applications, netting must be applied.
Packaging
- Jet Stream MAX Blowing Insulation is packaged in a strong,
white, sealed poly bag that offers excellent protection from abuse,
dust and moisture.
- Knauf Insulation packages are lightweight, stack without
slipping and are easy to handle and store.
Fiber Glass and Mold
Fiber glass insulation will not sustain mold growth. However,
mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and
contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been
exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold, it must be
discarded. If the material is wet, but shows no evidence of mold,
it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly.

* "R" means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the
greater the insulating power. To get the marked R-value, it is
essential that this insulation be installed properly. If you do it
yourself, get instructions and follow them carefully. Instructions
do not come with this package.
