А REVIEW OF THE TECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF CELLULOSE INSULATION
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Сellulose insulation (CI) made from recycled paper, has a low embodied energy and good thermal conductivity. However, due to a lack of information in Russian on the technical properties of CI and the experience of application, CI is little used in comparison with traditional insulating materials. А review and structure of existing scientific information on CI was conducted. The history and volumes of CI application, its composition and production technology, ecological, mechanical, thermal, moisture, acoustic, fire, fungicidal, corrosive properties, durability, modern technical regulation are considered. The provided information answers a number of the vital issues and confirms relevance of the use of CI in construction. Relatively high operational properties of foreign CI manufacturers indicate the prospects of further improvement of the domestic CI.
