fiber America adds eco-friendly cellulose fiber insulation products

by AF 0505 b3 — May 10, 2010—fiber America, a manufacturer of high quality and environmentally friendly cellulose fiber insulation products, has announced the addition of three new products to its Green Seal cellulose fiber insulation line, an All-Borate Loose Fill, All-Borate Wall Spray and a Stabilized insulation product.

The new products, manufactured in fiber America’s production facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania, complement the company’s first product, Green Seal Loose Fill. They are all Class 1, Type A building materials suitable for attic, sidewall and ceiling applications. They offer low-settled densities for better coverage and produce minimal dust during the installation process, says the company. They also provide more thermal resistance than fiberglass, says fiber America.

Made from recycled newspaper, these environmentally friendly cellulose fiber insulation products are treated with non-toxic, naturally occurring fire retardant minerals, giving them a Class 1 fire safety rating and providing a better defense against the spread of fire. The borate minerals added to cellulose insulation have long been recognized as a natural insect and pest repellant. Additionally, cellulose allows moisture/humidity to dissipate through the material, thereby preventing mold.
