Applegate Cotton Armor insulation contains 85% recycled content and is primarily composed of cotton. A proprietary fire retardant penetrates and strengthens the fibers while providing permanent flame resistance. When installed properly and under normal conditions of use, these materials are nontoxic to humans and will not adversely affect other building components.

Wall, ceiling, and floor insulation is often used as a component of soundproofing. Any insulation product will improve your soundproofing compared to a hollow cavity.

Applegate Cotton Insulation has been rated for acoustic performance.
