Johns Manville. Made from naturally mold-resistant inorganic fiberglass, the Spider Custom Insulation System is a formaldehyde-free, spray-in insulation that completely fills wall cavities, eliminating gaps and voids where energy can escape. Spider's thermal performance reaches R-values of R-15 in a 2x4 wall cavity and R-23 in a 2x6 wall cavity. The material sprays in practically dry, with a lower moisture content than dry wood, and dries completely in two to six hours, allowing drywall to be put up the same day. 800.654.3103. www.johnsmanville.com.
