SMART INSULATION for SMART BUILDING: Overview of Modern Insulation Technologies

K.TEX, a Ukrainian manufacturer of non-woven materials with over 20 years of history, offers innovative solutions in the field of non-woven materials for construction. One of our key areas is the development and production of thermal insulation materials for construction. In this overview, we will consider several modern insulation technologies that we offer, focusing on their environmental benefits and properties.

RECYCLED. Polyester Insulation: Preserving the Environment and High Performance

In the modern world, where environmental issues and sustainable development are becoming increasingly important, it is crucial to find innovative solutions that help reduce the negative impact of our activities on the environment. One such approach is the use of insulation made from polyester obtained from PET bottles.

One square meter of such insulation can consist of more than 40 plastic bottles. Considering that the average water consumption in PET bottles in developed countries amounts to over 150 bottles per year, the use of polyester insulation significantly reduces the amount of waste and its impact on the environment.

One of the major advantages of polyester insulation is its high thermal insulation capacity. These materials effectively retain heat in buildings, preventing its unnecessary loss. As a result, it ensures energy efficiency in buildings and reduces heating and air conditioning costs.

Another advantage of polyester insulation is its lightweight and flexibility. This allows for easy installation in any, even hard-to-reach, areas or on uneven surfaces. Such insulation can be used in various structures, including walls, floors, and roofs, making it a versatile solution for construction needs.

FRIENDLY. Textile Recycling: The Most Accessible and Eco-friendly Insulation

Nature protection and preserving ecological balance have become integral parts of modern society. In search of ecological solutions, the textile industry is gradually shifting towards the recycling of textile waste and using it as insulation. These materials not only contribute to solving environmental problems but also provide the most affordable option for thermal insulation.

The call for environmental protection and sustainable development in the textile industry is a significant factor in the development of textile waste recycling. The processes of recycling, regeneration, and utilization of textile waste help reduce the impact of the textile industry on the environment and minimize waste generation.

Such insulation can address two problems simultaneously: environmental concerns and affordability. Using recycled textile materials for insulation production reduces manufacturing costs, making them accessible to a wider range of consumers. This is crucial for the mass application of such materials.

Thus, eco-friendly and accessible insulation contributes to the sustainable development of the textile industry.

NATURAL. Hemp Insulation: Moisture Balance and Ecological Naturalness

Materials made from hemp are becoming increasingly popular in modern construction and the textile industry. Hemp insulation stands out due to its unique properties, including insulation, moisture balance, ecological sustainability, and naturalness.

One of the most significant advantages of hemp insulation is its high thermal insulation capacity. Hemp fibers have a micro-porous structure that allows them to retain heat inside a building and prevent heat loss. This makes hemp insulation effective in maintaining optimal temperature and comfort.

Furthermore, hemp insulation has moisture regulation properties. Hemp fibers absorb and release moisture, providing natural ventilation and preventing the formation of mold and fungi. This is particularly beneficial in buildings where excessive moisture can be a problem.

An important aspect of hemp insulation is its ecological sustainability and natural characteristics. Hemp is grown without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, making it an environmentally friendly material. The use of hemp insulation helps reduce the use of synthetic materials and improves the ecological sustainability of buildings.

Hemp insulation meets the requirements of modern sustainable construction by offering effective thermal insulation properties, moisture regulation, and ecological naturalness.

These three insulation technologies—polyester insulation, recycled textile insulation, and hemp insulation—represent advanced solutions for sustainable construction and energy efficiency. Each of these materials has its unique advantages and properties, but they are all aimed at reducing the impact of the construction industry on the environment and providing a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment.
