Bonded Logic’s UltraTouch natural fiber cotton insulation blends comfort, safety and performance. Made from recycled cotton fibers, UltraTouch delivers performance similar to fiberglass without the disadvantages, while answering the growing demand for products made with recycled content. UltraTouch feels as soft and gentle to the skin as the clothes you wear, so there’s absolutely no itch or irritation. It’s so easy to handle, it carries no warning labels and requires no respiratory equipment or other safety measures. UltraTouch contains no harmful man-made fibers or chemical irritants. Without the nuisances of itchy skin, face masks and protective clothing, your installers will be able to work faster, more safely and be more productive.

Natural fibers utilized by UltraTouch are 100 percent recyclable, so it helps reduce overall landfill waste. UltraTouch is also earth-friendly because it’s manufactured from mostly recycled content using a minimal amount of energy. Fiberglass manufacturing consumes much more energy and will not break down in the environment.

Fiberglass insulation loses thermal resistance in extreme cold. Because it is denser, UltraTouch maintains its effectiveness when the mercury plummets. In addition, UltraTouch has an extremely high Noise Reduction Coefficient that makes it more effective than fiberglass in controlling airborne sound transmission, including traffic, airplanes, radios, televisions and conversation.
