Abstract
Cellulose insulation is primarily manufactured from recycled newsprint and treated with fire retardants for the fire resistance. Thanks to the fire retardants, it is not combustible and flammable. In addition to that, Its thermal resistance is much better than that of fiberglass or rock wool. It is made from waste paper and easily decayed when it is demolished, and it has small embodied energy. So it is very environment-friendly building material. For broader use of cellulose insulation in buildings in Korea, it is necessary to test its physical performance to compare the results with the requirements on the Korean Building Code. To this end, apparent thermal conductivity (ka) measurements of Korean-made loose-fill cellulose insulations were recently completed using equipment that was built and operated in accordance with ASTM C 518 and the fire resistance was tested in accordance with ASTM C 1485. Korean loose-fill cellulose has thermal conductivity about 5% greater than the corresponding U.S. product at the same density. This is likely due to differences in the recycled material being used. Both spray-applied and loose-fill cellulose insulation lose about 1.5% of their thermal resistivity for
섬유질 단열재는 주로 폐신문지로 만드는 데, 내화성능을 위해 내화재로 처리된다. 내화재로 인해 연소가 되지 않을 뿐 아니라, 연기도 나지 않는다. 섬유질 단열재의 열저항은 유리섬유나 암면보다 더 뛰어나다. 섬유질 단열재는 폐지로 만들어지므로 폐기시에는 잘 부식되고, 내재에너지 또한 매우 작은 친환경 단열재이다. 국내 건축물에 섬유질 단열재를 광범위하게 이용하기 위해서는 국내 건축법규 상의 단열규정에 적합한지 여부를 판단할 수 있는 물리적 성능 테스트가 필요하다. 따라서 국내에서 생산되는 섬유질 단열재에 대한 열전도율 및 내화성능 실험을 ASTM C 518과 ASTM C 1485에 근거하여 실시하였다. 국내생산 섬유질 단열재는 동일밀도의 미국제품에 비해 열전도율이 약 5%정도 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 폐지원지의 섬유질이 서로 다른데서 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 습식분사방식과 공기충진방식 모두 온도가
