The properties of commercially available cellulosic thermal insulation materials were evaluated to obtain base level data on the materials andto assess existing specification standards commonly used for testing andpurchasing. Cellulosic material has been used for residential building insulation for several decades and currently represents an estimated 30-40percent of that market (second only to fibrous glass
Housing construction consumes more materials than any other economic activity, with a total of 40.6 Gt/year.Boards are placed between construction materials to serve as non-load-bearing partitions. Studies have beenperformed to nd alternatives to conventional materials using recycled bers, agro-industrial waste, and proteinbinders as raw materials. Here, re-resistant cellulose boards with low density and adequate exural
Increasing the pH of your cellulose insulation can increase the fire retardancy of the material when using boric acid as a flame retardant. By increasing the pH, the boric acid is converted into the boron anion which crosslinks with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose forming a three dimensional crosslinking structure that is more dense
