Sustainability and energy efficiency are key requirements in the construction industry today. Whether new build or renovation - the choice of the right insulation materials plays a decisive role in the energy performance, environmental compatibility and indoor climate of a building. Glass wool is one of the most frequently used insulating materials - and for good reason: it impresses with its excellent insulation values, is versatile in use and is also increasingly being used in the construction industry. Ecologically optimised.
With the ISO-SWISS panel, SAGER offers a Thermal insulation board made of glass woolthat are not only powerful, but also Healthy and sustainable is - thanks to an innovative sugar-based binder.
What makes modern glass wool so sustainable?
Glass wool consists to a large extent of recycled glass. This alone makes it a resource-saving building material. However, a decisive influence on the Health and environmental balance has the Binderthat holds the glass fibres together. Traditional glass fibres were bonded with synthetic petroleum-based resins - but these can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that affect indoor air quality.
SAGER relies on a modern alternative: A plant-based, formaldehyde-free resin binderwhich is harmless to health and protects the environment. This makes glass wool the ideal solution for anyone who wants to build or renovate sustainably.
Focus on the binder: natural, formaldehyde-free and low-emission
The Resin binder in the glass wool has a significant influence on the emissions and processing safety of the material. Whereas petroleum-based binders were often used in the past, SAGER now uses a Sugar-based binderwhich is based on plant-based raw materials and formaldehyde-free is.
Advantages of the sugar-based binder:
-
No harmful emissions
-
Excellent indoor air quality
-
Pleasant processing without skin irritation
-
Reduced environmental impact in production and disposal
With this technology we combine Efficiency, sustainability and occupational health and safety in one product.
Certified quality for indoor air and health
For us, sustainability does not end with the material - even Certifications and external audits are an integral part of our quality promise. Our glass wool products are labelled with the renowned Indoor Air Comfort Gold Certificate from Eurofins awarded. This certification is one of the strictest in Europe and confirms:
-
Very low emissions
-
Excellent indoor air quality
-
Suitability for residential, office and educational buildings
For planners, builders and fabricators, this means that they are relying on a tested safe and healthy product - without compromise.
Dermatologically tested: Skin-friendly processing
A common prejudice against glass wool is that it can irritate the skin during processing. Not with SAGER: our products with sugar binders have been dermatologically tested and as Skin-friendly categorised. This means that they are not only low-emission, but also Processor-friendly - a clear advantage for all those who work with insulation materials on the construction site on a daily basis.
ISO-SWISS glass wool - the intelligent choice for energy-efficient and healthy construction
Our ISO-SWISS insulation board is exemplary of a new generation of sustainable insulation materials: high-performance, harmless to health and environmentally friendly. Whether for facades, roofs or interiors - it can be used in a variety of ways and fulfils the highest demands on Thermal insulation, healthy living and ease of use.
Conclusion:
Sustainability starts with the material.
With our glass wool with a plant-based binder, we are making an active contribution to energy-efficient, healthy and sustainable construction. The combination of recycled raw material, innovative resin binder and certified quality makes our products the ideal choice for modern construction projects.
