| Insulation made of cellulose fibres | | | | | 
| 1. Raw materials | Raw material control - Unadulterated old newspaper | | | | 2. Shredder | The newspapers are first put through the shredder. Small parts, e.g. paper clips, are removed by an electromagnet. | | | | 3. Fine-grinding mill | This is where the Finnish technology really comes into its own, as it is well-known that the size of a cellulose fibre and its capacity to retain air influences its later subsidence behaviour and caloric conductivity. | | | | 4. Admixtures | The special treatment in the grinding mill produces cellulose fibres similar to cotton wadding. For fire protection purposes and to protect wood constructions from attack by rot or vermin, so-called borates are added. Thermofloc is composed of approx. 90% newspaper and 10% harmless, non-vaporizing boracic salts. | | | | 5. Packaging | The finished product is packed in PE bags weighing 14 kg each. Now, Thermofloc Blow-in Insulation is ready to be applied in ceilings, pitched roof areas and walls as an ecologically safer insulation material |
