Product Features

Proven Performance

Delivering proven strength against air velocity testing at over 140 miles/hour — 12,500 ft./min. — for trusted temperature and sound control in metal ducts.

ECOSE Technology

Our patented, bio-based binder is a smarter alternative to using phenol formaldehyde. It’s been foundational in our commitment to sustainability.

Quality Design

This 3-lb/cubic ft. duct liner board is designed to withstand damage during installation and operation. It’s fire-resistant, non-corrosive and helps prevent bacterial growth.
