The Basis of Design Product is K-9 by International Cellulose Corporation. The Owner wants at least 3 products listed. The primary product that comes up in searches and that staff are familiar with is K-9. Does anyone know of other comparable products - if so, please advise. Thank you.

There are a couple of other manufacturers -- take a look at www.cellulose.org for the Cellulose insulation manufacturer's association. Because its a wood-based product, many of the manufacturers are local, but I've used Fiberlite and Cellpak as comparables.
