Ultra touch is an all cotton insulation that is safer alternative to traditional fiberglass. The denim is not exactly the hand me down denim jeans, but the waste and scrap from the process of manufacturing blue jeans and other cotton textiles. The materials are cut into strips and treated with a boron solution to retard fire and mold. It is also treated with a pest repellant which his reported by the manufacturer to be non toxic.

 

The Ultra Touch Brand is manufactured by Bonded Logic and has an R value (thermal resistance value) of about 3.4 per inch which is the same as fiberglass and comes in thicknesses from 3.5 in(R-13) to 6 in (R-30) in dimensions suitable for use with 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 framing. The batts are backed with 100% foil and can be used in automatic, aviation and marine settings as well as residential and commercial construction.

Recycled denim spares the landfill additional materials and produces much less energy than other forms of insulation.

 

The denim is also free from substances like formaldehyde and resins that can cause skin and lung irritations.

 

Ultra Touch is a Class- A fire rated and meets LEEDs eligibility requirements.
