UltraTouch Recycled Cotton Insulation

UltraTouch recycled cotton denim insulation for use in new construction and remodels. Safe to handle: treated with non-toxic borates. Contains no formaldehyde or other skin or respiratory irritants.

Made from cotton fibers recovered from blue jean and other textile manufacturers, UltraTouch insulation offers excellent thermal and acoustical performance. Because it doesn't contain fiberglass, it won’t cause itching or skin irritation during installation. It's formaldehyde- and VOC-free, so offgassing isn't an issue. The re-used cotton fibers are treated with an EPA-registered fungal inhibitor that offers excellent protection from mold, mildew, fungus and pests, as well as providing outstanding fire-resistance properties.

UltraTouch was named as one of the Top 100 Products of 2006 by Architectural Products magazine.

Recommended Uses: Ultra Touch is made to be used between studs as thermal and acoustic insulation on interior or exterior walls and ceilings. It is rated for both heat loss and sound loss. Since most heat is lost through a building’s roof, choose roof insulation with the maximum R-value (and thickness) possible for your location. Appropriate for residential and commercial use.

(a) Tested in accordance with ASTM C-518 at 75°F. Higher R-values indicate better insulating power.
(b) Sold in full bags only. Bags are also called "bundles".

Installation: Store compressed batts in dry area, and shake prior to installing to help accelerate the natural rebounding properties of the fibers. Fit batts firmly into place between studs. If building codes require a vapor barrier, it should be applied toward the living area. Cut or tear the insulation to fit snugly around obstructions such as plumbing, vent lines, and electrical boxes. Use leftover pieces to fill small openings around windows and doors. For exterior walls, most climates will require either a 4-mil or 6-mil poly vapor barrier. Contact your building code office for local requirements.
