Thermal insulation material from lignocellulose raw material
Dagnija Blumberga, Indra Muižniece

The invention relates to thermal insulation materials made of lignocellulose biomass and binder with the following ratios of the components: lignocellulose biomass 25–71.4 % by weight, xanthan gum 0.6–3 % by weight, water 26.8–71.25 % by weight, glycerol 1.2–4.5 % by weight and ethanol 0–2.8 % by weight. It is a natural material that is not harmful to human health and the environment. It has competitive thermal conductivity properties (thermal conductivity coefficient 0.045–0.060 W/(m*K)) and good moisture transfer properties (water vapour resistance coefficient 2.09; moisture buffer capacity 4.7–6.11 g/(m2*% RH)). Its manufacturing technology can be used for the production of non-standard forms of thermal insulation materials, thus diversifying its applicability.
