Roger,

Has anyone here thought of or used this product?

I've never bought it or used it in a product, but the manufacturer
sent me a
sample to try. The first thing I did was hold a lighter under it. As
soon as
I saw how it smoldered and smoked, that was all I needed to know it
was not
for me.

Fiberous Cellulose, which is approved for insulating homes, is normally
treated with Boric Acid.
Boric Acid is a naturally occuring agent that not only deters insects
it enables the treated product to become fire resistant. It will
smolder. However, it is not likely to catch aflame.

The danger of fiberglass is greatly overstated. Yes, you can get a
little
itchy working with it, so use gloves and a face mask. Problem solved.

Fiberglass fibers (if ingested or inhaled) have been found by the state
of California to be a danger to health. Not so with treated cellulose.
