Product Details

Microlite B

Product Long Description
Johns Manville Microlite® B is a lightweight, flexible blanket manufactured using flame-attenuated borosilicate glass fibers and bonded with a thermosetting phenolic resin. The flame-attenuated process used in the manufacture of Microlite B provides uniformly distributed glass fibers with low heat transfer characteristics, excellent acoustic performance and high tensile strength. The resilient glass fibers prevent vibrational settling. Microlite B blankets are designed for applications where temperatures do not exceed 450°F (232°C).

Features

Advantages
The flame attenuated process used in producing Microlite B Blanket provides uniformly distributed glass fibers with low heat transfer characteristics. This process produces glass fibers with excellent sound absorbing properties. 
The thermal and acoustic properties of Microlite B Blanket do not deteriorate with age. The non-cellular and non-hygroscopic glass fibers will not support mold, mildew, fungus, or vermin. The exceptional resiliency of the glass fibers prevents vibrational settling. 
The borosilicate fiber used in Microlite B Blanket is incombustible. Although it is light in weight, the blanket provides high tensile strength and resiliency and is easily cut with a knife, shear, or steel rule die.

Available Forms
Microlite B Blankets are furnished in a variety of densities, weights, thicknesses, roll lengths, and widths.

Properties
High Sound Absorption  Flame Resistance  Low Heat Transfer  Good Handleability

Insulation for Aesthetic Applications
As building designs trend toward open ceilings and exposed duct work, designers are frequently faced with a major challenge: finding an insulation that meets codes and system specifications and is also aesthetically appealing.

Insulation for Offices
Insulation for offices can be a critical component for the safety and productivity of commercial building occupants. Effectively placed insulation can help control noise reverberation throughout an office space but can also support the functionality and aesthetic design of a space.
