GLASS
Pittsburgh Superfine insulation is composed of extremely fine glass fibers, ranging upward in diameter from only 3/100,000 of an inch. It's an exceptionally light-
weight, efficient thermal and acoustical insulating material. When specifications
call for controlled heat or cold--or you need sound absorbed or vibration deadened --here are some of the advantages Pittsburgh Superfine Fiber Glass insulation
provide:
High Thermal Efficiency--Thermal con ductivity, k, at a mean temperature of
75 F is 0.22 to 0.27 Btu/sq ft/hr/deg F/in. thickness, depending on density. Ef

Den sity (lbs per cu ft)

(in ches)
fective for both high and low tempera tures ranging up to 500 F.
Fine Acoustical Properties Noise re duction coefficient of a 1 in, thickness is as high as 0.80 with the sound absorption curve showing high efficiencies in the ranges of the most irritating noise.
Light Weight, Easy to Handle--Added load in any application is virtually negligible. Density as low as 0.6 pound per cubic foot. Readily cut with knife, shears, or die. Can easily be sewed and quilted, glued, tacked or taped into position.
Flexible, Resilient, Tough, and Soft Can be used on round or irregularly shaped objects and spaces as easily as in conventional layers. Fits closely into corners and `tight spots quickly and easily, without damage to its structure
Saves Vital Space--In use: Higher insulating efficiency means less thickness of Superfine required, as compared to ordinary insulation. In shipment: Pack aged compressed to reduce shipping and storage space. .
