June 2018
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Specification Guide
The insulation shall be Jet Stream ® MAX insulation 0.033 W/mK (AU), 0.032 W/mK (NZ), when installed to 28kg/m 3 , CodeMark Certified to meet the
provisions of the BCA. The product will be non-combustible, CFC/HCFC free, zero ODP and GWP, Glasswool insulation with high post-consumer recycled
glass content. It will be manufactured under Quality Assurance Standards ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 by Knauf Insulation and shall be installed in
accordance with the instructions issued by them.
Specification Compliance
CodeMark Certified, AS/NZS 4859.1 thermal compliance, US GREENGUARD Gold Certified and verified to be formaldehyde free. Jet Stream ® MAX is
manufactured with up to 80 per cent recycled glass content and undergoes UL Environment verification every six months.
Thermal performance
Jet Stream ® MAX provides you with a choice of R-Values based on the installed thickness and installed density per cubic metre. The table on the next page shows
the minimum requirements for obtaining the desired R-Value.
The stated thermal resistance (R-Value) is provided by installing the required density at the thickness (per the manufacturer’s instructions). Failure to install less than the
required density and thickness will result in lower insulation R-Values.
Jet Stream ® MAX is designed to be installed at a minimum density of 28kg/m³. Jet Stream ® MAX will achieve a thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/mK (NZ) and
0.033W/mK (AU). When installed at various thicknesses Jet Stream ® MAX will achieve R-Values that with NZS 4214 are able to meet the minimum requirements
of NZS 4218 and the Energy Efficiency requirements of BCA for walls, skillion roofs and underfloors.
Jet Stream ® MAX is not designed for mixing with other products, adhesives or binder systems as these may affect its thermal performance and is not recommended
by the manufacturer.
Gaps, voids and penetrations
Jet Stream ® MAX fills all gaps and voids around service penetrations such as water pipes and electric wiring and any other obstructions or unusual design
details, ensuring thermal and acoustic performance is created. Jet Stream ® MAX allows quicker and more efficient filling of wide cavities where multiple layers of
conventional insulation would normally be installed. Jet Stream ® MAX saves installation time by minimising the steps needed to fully insulate tight corners and hard
to reach areas.
Equipment required
To achieve the labelled R-Value, this product must be applied with a pneumatic blowing machine and a corrugated hose with a minimum 5mm internal corrugation,
a minimum length of 45m and a diameter of at least 60mm. Coils in the hose should not be less than 10m in diameter.
Packaging
Jet Stream ® MAX is packaged in a strong, poly bag that offers excellent protection from abuse, dust and moisture. Knauf Insulation packages stack without slipping
and are easy to handle and store.
Exposure to water or moisture
Insulation does not provide thermal benefit if wet. Glasswool insulation will not sustain mould growth. If the material is wet it should be replaced.
