Treasure Valley's Most Insightful Construction Resource
Oil & Steam, Cash & Barter, Glass & Cotton
Main / Building Green Concepts  

What about a commodity becoming a monopoly?

...and what ever happened to the steam engine?  What if that engine were used to commute individuals in their vehicles to work everyday?  Using ocean water? Capturing the condensation?  Utilizing the salt as a by-product?

...as if bartering didn't exist?  or paying with cash was passe?

...putting glass in our walls for heat/cold protection?  An air filter, of sorts.  Make more $cents with cotton.  UltraTouch, a natural cotton fiber insulation.  Inspired by Nature, Designed for Performance.

Our current systems and commodities have had their day, now enter diversity.  Where the old and new meet, greet and survive.

Does cotton combust?

Re:Oil & Steam, Cash & Barter, Glass & Cotton
Thanks for asking.

UltraTouch (cotton) is a premium building supply, that has gone through rigorous testing to meet American standards. It has the lowest flame spread (5) of all insulations and a very low smoke developed (35). Essentially it smolders, and is not a flamitory mass.

Through a patented manufacturing process, every fiber of cotton is treated with borite. Borite is a commonly used fire retardant in inslations, and was at one time used to fight forest fires.

Unlike fiberglass, which melts in the wall leaving a vaccum, or chimney effect, UltraTouch is a dense blanket that acts as a barrier to fire.

It will not combust, even if there is a heat source because of the borite.

Hi!
UltraTouch is made out of denim, its not likely that it would taste very good.
That said, there are no harmful ingredients in UltraTouch: just denim, a man made binder called copolyefilin in small amounts, and borate (an inert salt)
For more information on other aspects, check out our website @ www.idahoblue.com.
