FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MILEX™ 2.0 insulation is a revolutionary type of blow-in, loose-fill insulation made primarily from grain Sorghum ("Milo"). MILEX™ has very special insulating properties, such as, increased thermal resistance, is produced without any chemical processing and renewable because its made from naturally-occurring ingredients, grown by farmers on the high plains. We think it's just plain better!

MILEX™ "Thermal Puffs" are the secret to it's outstanding thermal resistance properties. Each puff contains thousands of tiny air pockets that create an amazing thermal blanket. Since MILEX™ has limited to no shrinkage, those tiny air pockets remain intact which allows MILEX™ to maintain it's thermal barrier over 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.
