Hello, my name is Wes
Nowell, and I am an architecture graduate student at the University of Kentucky
and I am doing some GREEN material research. I have a few questions about
the UltraTouch™ Denim Insulation and the UltraTouch™ Radiant Barrier.
-What are the lengths and widths of each of these products you sell and how much per sq ft?
-What are the lengths and widths of each of these products you sell and how much per sq ft?
Attached are both the UltraTouch Denim spec and Radiant
Barrier spec that shows the product dimensions.
-Are the products entirely recycled and can they be recycled after use as insulation? If so, where can they be taken to be recycled?
-Are the products entirely recycled and can they be recycled after use as insulation? If so, where can they be taken to be recycled?
The products are made from post-consumer recycled denim
and other cotton fibers. They are mixed with a binder fiber that is not
recycled and treated with a borate solution. If brought back us we could
shred the product and reuse it.
-Is the aluminum on the Radiant Barrier held on by an adhesive? If so, what is the adhesive and its ingredients? How does this affect its ability to be recycled?

The foil facing has a thin plastic backing that is
heated and sticks the foil to the surface of the denim pad. We cannot
recycle the foil facing but can recycle and reuse the denim pad.
-On the spec sheet for the Radiant Barrier it mentions Emissivity and says 0.03 for its value. What does this mean?
-On the spec sheet for the Radiant Barrier it mentions Emissivity and says 0.03 for its value. What does this mean?
Emissivity is the value given to
materials based on the ratio of heat emitted compared to a blackbody, on a scale of 0 to 1. A
blackbody would have an emissivity of 1 and a perfect reflector would have a
value of 0
Basically that means
that the foil facing is mostly reflective surface which is what you want in a
radiant barrier product.
-Do you have any connection with or approval from the EPA? If so, where can I see this information?

We do not have any EPA connections or approvals.
Thank you for your time,
Wes Nowell
