Moisture and wetting properties of thermal insulation materials based on hemp fiber, cellulose and mineral wool in a loose state
Source abstract
Abstract
The paper presents the results of research concerning three fiber materials – hemp fiber, cellulose fiber and mineral wool as a loose-fill thermal insulation materials. It focused on the study of moisture properties and wettability of these materials. The analysis involved evaluation of moisture sorption in different relative humidity conditions and evaluation of wettability of fibers by contact angle measurement. The study showed that the sorption equilibrium has been achieved at different times, which proves the various nature and properties of the materials. Hemp fibers were less wet than cellulose fiber, but the time needed to stabilize was shorter. The largest contact angles, indicating the strongly hydrophobic properties, were shown by mineral wool. Some samples of hemp and cellulose fibers were characterized by similar contact angles providing high wetting properties.
