Q:What's the word on Formaldehyde on these? Does it off-gas bad? How long does it off-gas? There's a new FF line that doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

Answer This Question
A:Â Hello Nick, Owens Corning Manufactures the Thermafiber Fire and Sound Guard Plus in both a regular binder containing Formaldehyde and a Formaldehyde Free version. Thermafiber Formaldehyde Free products are not available for the retail market. The regular binder Fire and Sound Guard Plus is manufactured with a binder that contains formaldehyde as an ingredient. During the manufacturing process, however, these products are cured at a very high temperature and virtually all of the binder formaldehyde is eliminated. The amount of formaldehyde in the finished product is less than 0.01% by weight. At this low level, and because we oven cure the product during manufacture, out-gassing of formaldehyde is extremely low and is not a significant source of formaldehyde when installed in a home or building. Thank you for your inquiry!

Way better, for me, working with this material vs. the pink stuff. Very easy to install as cutting to size with the knife, buy the knife, makes fitting into tricky spots super easy. Seems to hold in heat nicely in the rooms I've remodeled with this stuff. Wear a mask - the particles kicked up while installing are not awesome on lungs. Also, not itchy like other materials but wearing gloves is highly recommended.

I used this product primarily for sound deadening between a basement home theatre room and the living space above. It has been very effective in that role at an extremely reasonable price. I know think of this as a must-have product in any ceiling where a room will involve making an appreciable amount of noise.
