A fibrous insulation has insulation fibers () with a fungicide in a dispersed additive affixed to the fibers (), and a method of making a fibrous insulation by dispersing a fungicide and a dispersed additive on the fibers () followed by affixing the dispersed additive on the fibers (). The method produces thermal, acoustic, duct liner or board insulation either as loose fill insulation or as an insulation mat.

A phenol-formaldehyde resole resin is prepared using a high level of catalyst at a polymerization temperature of about 63&deg; C. The endpoint, measured by salt water tolerance, is selected so that the resulting resin has a water dilutability of 20:1 at neutral pH after storage for three weeks at a temperature of about 13&deg; C., with a free phenol level of no more than 0.50 percent.
