Developed right here at Owlfly, YellowJacket™ is a new highly engineered type of thermal insulation which combines the best properties of radiant barriers and traditional insulative materials to create a far superior product. The safety and thermal performance of YellowJacket™ easily out-competes traditional insulation, and its ability to flatpack during transit makes YellowJacket™ a more affordable option for many projects.

YellowJacket™ is made from Owlfly’s innovative ChipAL composite.
ChipAL is American-made, lightweight, water-resistant, non-toxic, non-dusting, and irritant-free. It is completely safe to handle (with or without gloves) and poses no risk to human or environmental health.
Unlike plastic foams (which can be highly flammable), ChipAL blisters and self-extinguishes almost immediately if exposed to a flame.
ChipAL quickly dissipates energy away from a fire, weakening the fire’s ability to spread.
Shipping typically accounts for about half of the cost of new insulation.
Because it can flat-pack during transit, YellowJacket™ has the best packing efficiency of any batt insulation on the market, which means potentially thousands of dollars in savings up front.
That makes YellowJacket™ an affordable choice no matter where you live!
YellowJacket™ performs better than most other thermal insulation, which translates into huge carbon and energy savings over time.
If you double the overall R-value of your home, you can cut your heating bill in half.
ChipAL is also made from recycled feedstock. If it ever needs to be replaced, YellowJacket™ is easy to recycle back into its raw materials at the Owlfly factory.
YellowJacket™ can be installed between studs or joists in both new construction and energy-efficiency retrofits. Whatever your next project entails, YellowJacket™ insulation could be a great choice for you.
Our best prototypes have been independently verified at 5.16 R/in, which places YellowJacket™ comfortably within the range of plastic insulation – like spray foam (PUR) and rigid foam (EPS, XPS, and Poly-ISO) – without any of the associated hazards to human and environmental health.
Key: red = ceramics, green = organics, yellow = YellowJacket™, blue = plastics. Dataset includes over 550 online listings for insulation. All cost data was normalized to the proportional material thickness required to meet R-15. To avoid outlier bias, error bars show 1 standard deviation from the mean. Cork and aerogel are not included on the graph because they are so much more expensive than everything else. The price of YellowJacket™ is calculated based on our current understanding of material and labor costs, which are subject to change prior to product launch.
