Nonwoven Sisal Fiber as Thermal Insulator Material

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2009
The present study describes experiments carried out to analyze the effects of superficial treatment on the thermal performance of needlepunched nonwoven sisal fiber used as thermal insulation material. Nonwovens with gramature 1300–1400 g/m2 “in natura” and treated (2% w/w sodium hydroxide) were used to the thermal insulation of a tube of steel ...
