Abstract
The present invention relates to a pourable or blowable loose-fill insulation, and in particular to a loose-fill insulation comprising glass fibers which are compressed and packaged in relatively small containers for easier installation by consumers. Agents capable of chemically interacting with the glass fibers are used in order to increase recoverability of the compressed glass fibers when they are removed from their packaging.
