Cellulose Fiber Thermal Insulation

Abstract

Cellulose fiber thermal insulation was developed because it made recycling our waste paper possible, had a higher thermal resistance than fiberglass and could be manufactured with a littleenergy consumption.
In Japan cellulose fiber started to be imported 10 years ago in very small scale from U. S. manufacturers.
At the end of 1978 Jujo Paper Co., Ltd. began manufacturing this material domestically and rapidly expanded its market.
With our own technology, we have improved characteristics of cellulose fiber such as much higher fire resistance, anti-corrosiveness treatment and water repellent effect.
These points are to be specified in Japanese Industrial Standard which will be established in the very near future.
In this paper characteristic properties and blowing systems of cellulose fiber are described in short.
