Healthy Housing – Formaldehyde-free
Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free insulation uses an innovative new acrylic binder that eliminates binder-related formaldehyde emissions during manufacturing, and after installation will not off-gas formaldehyde inside your home. It also contains 20% post-consumer recycled glass. Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation is made with a non-toxic, acrylic resin binder. Which means it’s naturally white. But formaldehyde-free insulation doesn’t just look cleaner…it actually is!
