Since this product was banned around 1980 the off gassing in now over. The
stuff also breaks down so there could just be a pile of dust at the bottom
of the wall cavities. At the very least it will have a diminished insulation
value. A good inspection is in order.

OK everyone!
I haven't looked into UFFI in more than 20 years now.....friends of ours
are
looking at a house that used UFFI as the insulation in 1978........anyone
have any uptodate statistics/info/web sources that they would be willing
to
share?
What does everyone think nowadays? Buy or beware?
thanks very much everyone in advance
Chris


Properly installed i n dry cavities it did not outgass excessively or
break down. It should never have been installed in frame buildings -
was great in brick.
