In recent months plastics have
moved rapidly into war produc-

Many people are interested in
learning more about plastics so
they can make use of their knowl-
edge in present emergency pro-

Due to this increased demand
for engineers and technicians,

Cotton Insulation
Is Successful,
Distributed Here

Cotton insulation, which Fir-Tex
of Michigan is distributing and
selling in the Detroit area, Is
highly flame resistant and does not
support combustion, even when
subjected TO an 1900 degree Fab
renheit flame from a blow torch
for 20 minutes.
This type of insulation Is very
light, weighing about IS hun
dredths of pound per cubic foot.
Its natural cohesiveness makes II
cling TO the wall and studding sur
faces to which it is applied. Cotton
insulation does not tend to sag,
and building once insulated with
cotton remains insulated. Bureau
of Standards records will show a
greater saving of fuel per inch
thickness of cotton.
Fir-Pex OF Michigan furnished
their "Lo-X' Cotton Insulation in
the model home.
