Anyone who has ever worked with conventional glass wool knows the unpleasant feeling: it itches, scratches and causes skin irritation that can still be felt even after washing. For many people, this irritation is a major disadvantage when using conventional insulation material. But why does this happen at all - and why is this not the case when using SAGLAN glass wool?

The reason: glass fibres and binders

Classic glass wool consists of recycled glass, which is processed into a fine fibre in a special process. These microscopically small glass fibres can mechanically irritate the skin, causing unpleasant scratching or itching.

What's more, many conventional products rely on binders that not only bind the fibres together, but also contain chemical additives that can irritate the skin.

SAGLAN - innovative formula without itching

Our SAGLAN glass wooldeveloped and produced in Switzerland, differs significantly from standard products: The fibres are particularly soft, short and flexible. This greatly reduces the risk of mechanical skin irritation. In addition, SAGLAN uses a natural, formaldehyde-free binder. This formulation does not contain any irritants.

This combination ensures that SAGLAN glass wool is kind to the skin.

Less dust - more convenience during processing

Nn addition to its skin-friendliness, SAGLAN glass wool scores with another advantage: the amount of dust generated during cutting is significantly lower than with conventional glass wool products. This is much easier on the skin and the respiratory tract, as fewer fine particles are released into the air.

For particularly sensitive people, long clothing can help prevent skin irritation. This minimises direct skin contact. In addition, cold water can be used to rinse off after work; this closes the pores and immediately relieves itching. A respiratory mask can also be used to minimise irritation of the respiratory tract.

Conclusion

The difference between conventional glass wool and SAGLAN glass wool lies in the composition: instead of scratchy, rigid fibres and potentially irritating binders, SAGLAN uses soft fibres and natural binders. The result: no unpleasant itching and more comfort when working with the glass wool.

Anyone who values comfort and health protection will therefore opt for an innovative and skin-friendly alternative: SAGLAN glass wool.
