We are a Home Performance contractor that installs cellulose as one of our "tools" to increase the energy efficiency of a home. I like working with the Cel-Pak. It is a very clean and consistent product and I don't have to worry about it being caustic like those cellulose products that contain ammonium sulphate. I also feel good using it because it has just about the least environmental impact of any insulation. If we spill some on the ground, the rain will soon wash out the borate and then it can quickly compost, unlike other insulations that will stay around for a long long time. Tech support from National Fiber has been outstanding.

Comment about Raw materials: Very consistant gray color, with very rare fleck of color from inserts, and no staples, etc.
Comment about Installation/Application: You do have to wear a dust mask and gloves. It will suck the moisture out of your hands.
Comment about Quality/Durability: I have spoken with other installers that have had a chance to open a wall that they had insulated years before, and the cellulose was still good.
Comment about Toxicity: The only addative is borate, which is considered quite benign.
Comment about Resource Recovery: Once the rain washes away the borate, it will quickly compost
