Sustainability is no longer a trend, but a necessity - also in the construction industry. Ecological building materials and energy efficiency are increasingly coming to the fore. Glass wool is one of the most popular insulating materials in Switzerland and is used in both new buildings and renovations. It not only impresses with its excellent thermal and sound insulation, but also with its ecological development. In addition to the main ingredient glass, the binder is also a decisive factor. The use of modern, plant-based binders in particular makes the difference: our sustainable Glass wool is formaldehyde-free and harmless to health - a benefit for building owners, processors and the environment.

Focus on the binder

The fibres alone do not make glass wool a functional insulating material - the binding agent is crucial. It ensures that the glass fibres remain bonded together, giving the material strength and structure. Originally, synthetic petroleum-based resins were used in the production of glass wool, but these can cause potentially problematic emissions during manufacture, processing and disposal. Today, we rely on an innovative, formaldehyde-free, plant-based binder.

Certifications and environmental standards

It is not only the technology itself that distinguishes our product, but also the various environmental certificates that we fulfil. Our products fulfil the highest standards and the strictest requirements for indoor air.

This is why our products have also been awarded the Indoor Air Comfort Gold certificate from Eurofins. These certificates guarantee that our products meet the highest standards in terms of indoor air quality and pollutant emissions. They are therefore particularly suitable for use in living spaces, offices or other buildings where high air quality and low levels of pollutants are important.

Skin compatibility: dermatologically tested

In addition to the ecological aspects, we attach great importance to the safety of our products for people. Glass wool is known for its skin irritation, which can be caused by direct contact with the fine glass fibres.

To ensure that our product is also safe in this respect, we subject it to regular dermatological tests. These tests confirm that our sugar-based binder in glass wool is not harmful to the skin, which is particularly important for processors and end users.

Our glass wool products are therefore not only environmentally friendly, but also safe to use - a further step towards a healthier and more sustainable construction industry.

Conclusion

The ecological balance of glass wool is significantly improved by the use of a sugar-based resin binder. This innovative resin binder is not only environmentally friendly, but also harmless to health and safe to handle. By meeting the highest standards for air quality and skin compatibility, we offer our customers a product that fulfils the requirements of sustainable and healthy construction. By using our glass wool, building owners can be sure that they are contributing to a better environment and a healthier living space.

Sustainability starts with the material, and with our insulation we show how ecological and health responsibility can be successfully combined.
