Material Safety Data Sheet
Wool Insulation - A Natural Active
Fibre
Product Description: Higgins New Wool Batts (Fire
Retarded) are manufactured from natural wool fibre and treated with
Disodium
Octaborate providing fire retarding and insect proofing, in
accordance with BS 5803.4. Wool has the ability to shed water, yet
readily absorbs and desorbs water vapour. Wool can therefore act as
a buffer or stabilizer to reduce peak humidity levels and
condensation this has been confirmed in research conducted by the
International Wool Secretariat.
