Eco Touch

 

Owens Corning creates products with sustainable attributes for today, tomorrow and future generations. With several highlights included below, 2010 was no different.

 

EcoTouch™ Insulation with PureFiber® Technology

Owens Corning’s new EcoTouch™ insulation uses a new manufacturing process to deliver insulation that is verified formaldehyde free, has a minimum of 50 percent recycled glass content and meets stringent certification standards for indoor air quality. More information.

 

Ultrablade™ Fabric Supports Wind Power

In our composite reinforcements business, we introduced Ultrablade™ fabric solutions that enable wind turbines to increase energy output and operate effectively at lower wind speeds by reducing blade weight. More information.

 

Duration® Premium Cool Shingles Reduce Energy Consumption

Owens Corning Roofing developed Duration® Premium Cool Shingles, which use a new, highly reflective granule technology that bounces back the sun’s rays, resulting in a more energy-efficient living space. More information.
