INNO-THERM* test results:
Test reports on physical properties for Batt Insulation under ASTM C 739, Commercial Testing Company, Interim report No. 97920, May 24, 1994, and Fungi Resistance Test Report No. 99741, October 21, 1994 signed by Erle W. Miles. The following physical testing was performed.
Flammability: Sample surface ignition occurred at 20 seconds. A maximum flame front advance of 5.5 feet was observed at 1 min., 34 sec. ASTM Class A rating when using ASTM test method E 84-97a.
Thermal Resistance: Average of at least 95% of stated R-Value with no single piece less than 90% of the stated R-Value when using ASTM test method C 518.
Moisture Vapor Absorption: When tested in accordance with ASTM test method C 739, Section 12, the moisture vapor absorption is less than 15%.
Odor Emission: When tested under ASTM C 665, Section 13.7, cotton insulation does not emit an objectionable odor.
Corrosiveness: When tested under ASTM C 665, Section 13.8, cotton insulation shows no corrosiveness greater than that observed on sterile cotton.
Fungi Resistance: When tested under ASTM C 665, Section 13.9, cotton insulation has fungi growth no greater than that observed on comparable items.
Starch: When tested under ASTM C 739, Section 15, it was found to contain no starch; however, if product was found to contain starch, it must be chemically treated to resist rodents and insects.
Dimensional Tolerances: Conforms to all established and documented QC procedures and instructions.
Workmanship: Such that performance is not adversely affected.
Composition: It is a formulated product manufactured from predominately recycled cotton and denim (post-industrial) fibres. Polyester fibres are added to give it structural integrity and reigidity so that it can be self-supporting in stud walls.
*The results of these tests are to be considered as internal
test results only and are not to be taken as certified test results
from an independent laboratory. However, results of BBA-UK tests-an
independent laboratory, can be found within the

Certificate 4027 [133kb].
Installation Instructions
1. 1. No specialist handling equipment is required e.g. gloves, protective clothing as it is soft to handle. However, a mask is advised especially if in a roof space and protective eye apparatus when installing above in a ceiling or under floor application.
It can be torm to fit. Recommended utensils should consist of a sharp utility knife for cutting. If it is necessary to cut material, cut on both sides (due to the low melt polyester that gives the material structural stability) of the material before tearing by hand.
2. Building codes may require a vapor barrier. In this case, the barrier should be applied towards the living area. If this is not required you simply insert cotton insulation between studs, stapling will not be necessary. A breather layer will be need to be installed if an exterior wall is brick, concrete or masonry.
