Environment
- UltraTouch consists
almost entirely of natural
denim and cotton fibers that
are 100% recyclable,
reducing landfill waste. The
denim and cotton are also
100% post-industrial.

Is UltraTouch made
from recycled blue jeans?
UltraTouch is
manufactured using
post-industrial denim and cotton
fibers that we source from denim
manufacturing facilities.
UltraTouch contains over 85%
recycled denim and cotton
fibers.
Do I need protective
clothing to install UltraTouch?
Absolutely not!
UltraTouch does not itch, is
easy to handle and requires no
protective clothing to install.
Is UltraTouch Fire
Resistant?
Yes, each
natural fiber of UltraTouch is
saturated with a natural fire
retardant (borates) giving
UltraTouch insulation a Class-A
fire rating.
Can
UltraTouch be installed in
contact with recessed lighting?
Yes, UltraTouch can be installed
in contact with recessed
lighting but the lighting MUST
be IC Rated. An air gap of six
inches would need to be left for
non-insulated lighting cans.
What happens when
UltraTouch gets wet?
UltraTouch is
manufactured to breathe or
accept and release the moisture
it receives in a timely manner.
UltraTouch also contains active
mold inhibitors as well.
Will mold and pests
affect UltraTouch?
The fire retardant used in
making UltraTouch also acts as
an excellent pest, mold and
mildew inhibitor.
Does UltraTouch
contain formaldehyde?
No, UltraTouch does not
contain any formaldehyde or
harmful irritants.
Does UltraTouch have
a vapor barrier?
No,
UltraTouch is manufactured in
batt form and is unfaced. If
your local building code
requires the use of a vapor
barrier, we recommend a poly
sheeting to be applied across
the insulated surface.
What is the best way
to cut UltraTouch?
We have found the simplest way
to cut UltraTouch is to score it
with a utility knife against a
straight edge or use a beveled
(toothless) saw blade in a small
utility saw.
Is UltraTouch
considered a "Green Building"
material?
Yes.
UltraTouch utilizes natural
fibers, contains no formaldehyde
or harmful irritants, and is
safe for you and the
environment.
