WOOD FOAM: SUSTAINABLE AND EFFECTIVE

摘要

Looking for a sustainable insulation option? While wood-based insulation materials are nothing new, researchers have developed an innovative insulation foam made from wood. Traditional mats from wood fibers and wood wool tend to shed fibers, but the wood foam does not. Scientists produce the foam by grinding wood very finely until the tiny wood particles become a slimy mass. They then add gas to this suspension to expand it into a frothy foam that is then hardened.
