FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MILEX™ Thermal MAX® is a revolutionary blow-in, loose-fill insulation made primarily from grain Sorghum (or "Milo"). MILEX™ boasts exceptional insulating properties, including increased thermal resistance, and is produced without any chemical processing. It's renewable, made from naturally-occurring ingredients grown by Texas Panhandle farmers. We wholeheartedly believe it's just plain better!

MILEX™ Thermal MAX® "Thermal Puffs" are key to its exceptional thermal resistance. Each puff contains thousands of tiny air pockets that form an amazingly effective thermal blanket. With minimal to no shrinkage, these air pockets stay intact, ensuring MILEX™ Thermal MAX® maintains its thermal barrier for a lifetime.

During our patented manufacturing process, all of the sugars and proteins in the sorghum get removed, thus, rendering it a "non-food" source. This means pest, or other insects, are generally not attracted to it.

We also use natural occurring Boric Powder (i.e. Boric Acid) during our curing process which makes MILEX™ flame retardant and provides additional insect and rodent repellent. Less than 1% Boric Acid is used.[1]

[1]Please note that, like many things, purposely ingesting large amounts of borate or boric acid can be harmful or even fatal. Milo Insulation does not recommend ingesting its products.
