Pink fiberglass insulation good for duct insulation?

[The Henchman]

I've got some leftover Owens Corning pink insulation R12 left. Brand news, not used stuff from a demolition job.

Wondering is this would be acceptable as duct insulation. I've got a

60 foot long side-split house with the furnance at one end. The duct that carries all the forced air to the upstairs is an 8' x 16' duct that then splits into all the rooms upstairs. Iit bascially runs 50'. I think I can easily insulated about 30 ' of that run.

With wood siding on the second story any little bit will help me I think both with a/c and heat.

Is this stuff fire safe? The duct work heats up to about 100 F or more on a long furnace cycle and cools to about 58 or 56 F on a long a/c cycle.

I'm in Canada so you bascially have forced airheat/cooling on 11 months a years in some way.

It's fibreglass, for heavens sake. If you are worried about heating damage, half the USA and Canada would be in trouble. Same with cold. If they use it on the outside of a house, I hope your inside the house desn't get below 0F.
