Insulation should be kinder to the people who use it most.

ECOSE® is our plant-based binder, and it’s been making a difference since 2009. Low-VOC, no added formaldehyde, and free from Red List chemicals, independently certified to Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold, the highest standard available. 🌱

Installers tell us products made with ECOSE® are less itchy and irritating than those made with traditional binders. Occupiers benefit from better indoor air quality. And because ECOSE® is up to 98% plant-based, it carries a lower carbon footprint from the raw materials stage up. 🌍

Over 15 years of proven performance. One binder. A big difference.

🌿 “It does not itch. Our customers love it.”

That is what Keiran Jones, Sales Director at SWM Builders Merchants, had to say about ECOSE®, our plant-based binder.

From the start, we believed insulation should be kinder to the people who work with it every day. That means making life better for installers as well as for the buildings they help create.

ECOSE® is low-carbon, low-VOC, free from added formaldehyde, and designed to offer a better experience on site and in use.

With over 15 years of proven performance, it is trusted by customers who value comfort, handling and a more considered approach to insulation.

Thanks to Keiran and the SWM team for the feedback 🙌

Up to 90% of our time is spent indoors. Let’s make sure those spaces feel comfortable.

Insulation plays a key role in creating a more stable indoor temperature, helping buildings stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

That means better comfort for the people using them every day, alongside improved energy performance.

🐝 Happy World Bee Day!

When temperatures outside dropped to -7°C at our St Helens plant in winter, we put DriTherm® Cavity Slab 32 to work in the most unexpected way, insulating beehives.

Custom covers built with our glass mineral wool insulation cut heat loss from around 4 watts down to just 0.25 watts, and every single colony made it through the winter.

If it can keep a hive warm at -7°C, imagine what it can do for a home. 🏠🐝

🌿 15 years ago, we changed what insulation could feel like. Here’s what our customers are still saying today.

When we launched ECOSE® in 2009, we made a bold promise: insulation should be kinder to the people who install it, to the buildings they work in, and to the planet.

A decade and a half later? Our customers are saying it better than we ever could.
💬 “Low levels of dust.”
💬 “Less itchy and scratchy.”
💬 “Easy to handle, and our customers love it.”

ECOSE® is a plant-based binder, and it is independently certified, Red List Free, and backed by over 15 years of proven performance.

That’s the ECOSE® difference.
