Thermafiber insulation is an inorganic material. Therefore, it does not provide a food source, which is necessary for mold growth. Thermafiber has conducted fungi-resistance testing on our blanket products per the ASTM Standard C 1338, which is the test method for determining the resistance of insulation to the growth of fungi. Thermafiber 4.0 and 8.0 pcf density blankets were evaluated. Test results determined the material to have no fungal growth.
