*Minnesota Administrative Code requires insulation products to provide their stated R-value(s) at Winter Design Temperatures. These columns provide the additional inches and bags.
Product Data Sheet | AttiCat ® PINK ® Blown-In Insulation | November 2018
Thermal Performance
Stated R-value is achieved by installing the minimum required number of bags per 1,000 net sq. ft. at a thickness not less than the label minimum thickness and minimum sq. ft. weight. Failure by the installer to provide both the required number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in lower insulation R-value.
All insulation varies in thermal performance due to factors such as mean temperature, settlement, convection, moisture absorption and installation variation. Convection in fiber glass loosefill insulation installed in open attics can reduce its thermal performance at extreme winter temperatures. AttiCat ® PINK ® Blown-In Insulation has been designed to anticipate this phenomenon and the labeled
R-value reflects the average performance over the winter heating season.
Design Considerations
Owens Corning does not recommend or approve blending or adding additional materials or adhesives to this product during installation. Owens Corning will accept no responsibility or liability when the product is not installed in accordance with the product label and installation instructions.
To help prevent fire or overheating of recessed light fixtures or similar electrical devices, do not insulate on top of or within 3 inches of such devices unless they are specifically approved to be covered by insulation. Do not place insulation in air spaces surrounding metal flues, chimneys or fireplaces. Provide minimum clearances specified in applicable NFPA standard(s), or as required by local building codes. In Canada, maintain building, electrical, gas and oil safety code required clearances between the insulation and heat emitting devices, such as fuel burning appliances, chimneys, pipes, ducts and vents to these appliances (at least 50 mm) and recessed light fixtures (at least 75 mm).
Fiberglass and Mold
As manufactured, fiberglass insulation is resistant to mold growth. However, mold growth can occur on building materials, including insulation, when it becomes contaminated with organic material and when water is present. To avoid mold growth on fiberglass insulation, remove any water that has accumulated and correct or repair the source of that water as soon as possible. Insulation that has become wet should be inspected for evidence of residual moisture and contamination, and any insulation that is contaminated should be promptly removed and replaced.

Notes
Fiberglass products may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to the mechanical abrasion effects of fibers, a condition which is completely reversible. Owens
Corning does not recommend the use of unfaced PINK ®
Fiberglas™ Insulation in exposed applications where it will be subject to routine human contact due to this potential temporary irritation.
