:: ULTRATOUCH Frequently Asked Questions
Is UltraTouch made from recycled blue jeans?
Yes, UltraTouch is manufactured using post-consumer denim and cotton fibers that we source from
various facilities. UltraTouch contains approx 80% recycled denim and cotton fibers.
Do I need protective clothing to install UltraTouch?
UltraTouch has no fiberglass itch and is easy to handle. A dust mask is recommended for all
construction work.
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.
What are the perforations?
UltraTouch contains several pieces per bag that are perforated for off-size cavity installations. Simply
measure your cavity and tear along a perforation to create the properly sized piece. The batt should be
roughly 0.5" wider than the actual cavity.
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 and accept/release the moisture it receives in a timely manner.
UltraTouch also contains active mold inhibitors as well.
Will mold affect UltraTouch?
The fire retardant used in making UltraTouch also acts as an excellent mold and mildew inhibitor.
Does UltraTouch contain formaldehyde?
No, UltraTouch does not contain any added 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 semi-permeable barrier be used.
What is the best way to cut UltraTouch?
If a properly sized piece of insulation cannot be created using the perforations, please visit the
"Cutting" section of the UltraTouch Denim Insulation product page for tips.
