The Dow Chemical Company has announced that Safetouch™ Fiberglass-free Insulation is now available nationally at multiple retail and professional outlets.
In addition to Lowe’s, Safetouch Insulation will soon be available in select northeast Home Depot stores and numerous Do It Best affiliated lumberyards and building supply centers.
“Dow is extremely excited to offer Safetouch nationally. Many consumers have long desired an insulation product that is healthy for families and homes and provides itch-free installation,” said Amy Millslagle, Dow Building Solutions Marketing Director. “Safetouch is a break-through product that delivers on these needs and we're pleased to finally be able to offer it in wide distribution.”
Safetouch Insulation is gaining significant traction with homeowners, particularly those with families in the 25-44 year old age segment. If not available in store, Safetouch Insulation may be ordered by any Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace, True Value, Do It Best, and most professional building material dealers.
A technical breakthrough by Dow in the traditional fiberglass category, the thermal and acoustic insulation is made from polyester fibers – the same material used in clothing – so it's itch-free, safe and healthy for consumers’ families and their homes.
Safetouch Insulation is:
- Fiberglass-free
- Contributes to improved indoor air quality
- Doesn’t support mold growth
- Doesn’t contain added formaldehyde or borates
- Contains recycled materials
- Available in R-13, R-19, and R-30
