A Handbook on Cellulose Insulation

Designed to bring together information on cellulose insulation for engineers, architects, cellulosic insulation manufacturers, fire officials, and students, this handbook discusses the various factors that may affect the fire performance, the corrosiveness, and the thermal conductivity of cellulosic insulation. The initial chapters discuss basic concepts of thermal insulation product; subsequent chapters report on fundamental physical constants, history, chemistry, and types of cellulosic insulation, state and federal standards, and fire retardants with their health and safety data sheets.
