SoftTouch™ Duct Wrap

CertainTeed SoftTouch™ Duct Wrap Insulation offers outstanding thermal properties that reduce unwanted heat loss or gain and condensation during system operation. SoftTouch duct wrap is GREENGUARD® Certified as low emitting.

BASIC USE
CertainTeed SoftTouch duct wrap products are used to insulate rectangular and round heating, ventilating and air conditioning ductwork.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• SoftTouch Duct Wrap This blanket-type insulation is composed of glass fibers bonded together with a thermosetting resin. It’s available unfaced or with an FSK, gray PSK or white PSK vapor retarder facing. On faced products, a taping tab is provided on one edge for ease of installation.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Lower Energy Usage: Duct wrap products provide thermal efficiency that reduces unwanted heat loss or gain from equipment and ductwork. This means a likely savings of energy and improved system performance.
• Condensation Control: When properly installed in the correct thickness, duct wrap virtually eliminates condensation problems on cold duct surfaces.
• SoftTouch: Our duct wrap products are now made with SoftTouch for a softer, less itchy product.

BASIC PRODUCT DATA
Duct Wrap may be used to insulate most heating, ventilating and air conditioning ductwork at temperatures from 35°F to 250°F (1.7°C to 121°C) for faced duct wrap, and from 35°F to 350°F (1.7°C to 177°C) for unfaced duct wrap. The FSK and white PSK facing have a 0.02 perm rating. The gray PSK has a 0.09 perm rating.

COMPLIANCES
Duct wrap products meet the requirements of the following current specifications and standards:

• Material Specifications ASTM C 1290, ASTM C 553. The FSK facing meets the requirements of ASTM C 1136, Type II.
• Fire Safety Standards NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B
• Model Building Code ICC
• GREENGUARD® Children & Schools

All fabrication, application and installation steps shall be in accordance with the requirements of the product specification sheet or the National Commercial and Industrial Installation Standards (current edition) published by the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association (MICA). Refer to CertainTeed installation manuals or CertainTeed specification sheets for installation guidelines.

MAINTENANCE
An inspection and preventative maintenance program for the HVAC system is recommended to ensure optimum performance. For optimum performance and longest life, the insulation should be kept dry at all times.
