EPD: Stone wool insulation with blast furnace slag, unfaced, L=0.035 W/mK, R=5.678 (Rsi=1 m2K/W), 1.37 in (34.7 mm), 0.34 lb/ft2 (1.67 kg/m2), 48 kg/m3, Thermafiber SAFB™ (Owens Corning)

Thermafiber® Formahyde-Free Mineral Wool Insulation products are comprised of semi-rigid and rigid boards and batts. Mineral wool resists mold, fungi, and is vermin proof due to its being an inorganic material. The R-value of Thermafiber® Mineral Wool Insulation ranges from 3.7 - 4.3 per inch (25.4 mm) of thickness. It is available in multiple thicknesses and densities, with various facings by product type. Reflected by its R-value, mineral wool’s insulating performance is achieved by its densely packed fibers. Its high resistance to heat flow translates into year-round comfort and energy savings.
