Is This The Right Stuff? (703)

I have found a place that is my one and only hope of getting any 703 locally. I e-mailed them this question:

"You were mentioned as a possible source for Owens Corning 703 (3 pcf) and 705 FRK (6 pcf).
Do you carry these materials"

Their reply was:

"I WOULD NEED TO KNOW THICKNESS OF INSULATION. DO YOU WANT A FOIL BACKING? I STOCK 703 BD. 1,11/2,AND 2'' WITH A FSK OR ASJ BACKING"

Sorry for the very remedial question, but (for putting in corners as bass trapping) is this the correct stuff?

Thanks!

The preferred is "unfaced".

Just plain 703.

What does the BD stand for? That is my main concern because I have never heard it called that before.

Thanks again!

BD is just an abbreviation for "board" in this case - this stuff is often referred to as insulation board because it's so much stiffer than the normal house type batts... Steve
