Abstract

The results of studies of thermal and hydrophysical characteristics of thermal insulation boards obtained on the basis of structure-forming raw materials of plant origin - noils or flax fibers, as well as mineral wool insulation containing basalt or glass fibers are considered. The indicators of sorption humidity of thermal insulation materials at a relative humidity of 40-97% were determined. The coefficients of vapor permeability of thermal insulation boards have been established. The information about the tests of experimental materials in the climate chamber is given. The experimental data obtained confirm the effectiveness of using plant fibers as a structure-forming material for thermal insulation of buildings.
