Cocoon insulation is a non-toxic natural product made from 100%
recycled newspapers, reducing landfill waste. Each 50 sq. ft. bag contains
the equivalent of about 46 Sunday newspapers. It is processed by
electrically-driven mills that consume relatively little energy when
operating, and which can be shut down completely with the flip of a
switch. Reducing energy consumption at the factory can hold down utility
rates.
Key Benefits
- Cocoon™ cellulose insulation has been proven to increase a wall's
fire resistance 22-55% and exceeds the tough fire safety standards set
by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The boric acid flame
retardant used in Cocoon insulation is infused in the natural fibers
of the cellulose. During a fire, the retardant melts and holds the
heat until the cellulose fibers char. The cellulose then becomes a
layer of carbon protection, because the charred fibers won't burn. The
density of Cocoon insulation prevents the passage of flames and hot
gasses, so fire does not spread as readily into Cocoon-installed walls
, and Cocoon insulation restricts the amount of oxygen
available to support combustion.
- Cocoon insulation has been tested by
Underwriter's Laboratory according to ASTM standard C739 to be
non-corrosive to steel, copper and aluminum, as well as resistant to
fungi. GreenFiber guarantees its products for the life of the
structure. If installed according to manufacturer’s instructions,
the insulation will be free from defect and will not deteriorate under
normal and proper use.
