I am
working with a company (no fee as my office is State of Texas supported) that
used to make a blown-in insulation from cotton that is treated to make it
non-flammable. I think they use boric acid, but I don’t know enough about
chemistry to know if that is green or not. Nor do I know the R factor. They are
not in production of insulation at this time, but might gear up if a demand is
shown. The man to contact is David Davis (drdpostfiber@door.net).
His website is http://www.postfibertech.com/.
At this
time, Davis is working with another client to produce non-woven organic cotton
bags that will be used in storm drains to neutralize runoff. See http://www.greentechtexas.com/ if
interested. Incidentally, these bags “might” be of use to whomever made a
previous posting needing a biodegradable bag for camping (?) purposes.

Subject: [GBlist] insulation
I am interested in a high efficiency
blown-in insulation for a cathedral ceilings without ventilation. I know
a little about Icynene, which has an installer in our area (Eugene, OR).
I just recently heard about Air-Krete (cementitious) and about Corbond (polyurethane).
Does anyone know more about these or any other products that would be
environmentally (more) benign and provide more than R-5 per inch?
Thanks,
Jan Fillinger
