The fire resistance of thermal insulation and interior finishing materials is recently much emphasized after the fire accident at the Icheon Cold Store in January 2008. Three kinds of thermal insulation are used in buildings. They are Organic, Non-organic and cellulosic insulation. Organic insulation such as polystyrene foam board and urethane foam has high thermal resistance but it has no fire resistance. While non-organic insulation such as rockwool and glassfiber has high fire resistance, it has lower thermal resistance than organic insulation. Cellulose insulation is primarily manufactured from recycled newsprint or cardboard using shredders and fiberizers. Despite of its environmental friendliness and high thermal resistivity, its domestic use has not much increased because of the prejudice that paper can easily burn. However, the cellulose insulation as a product is about 80 wt.% cellulosic fiber and 20 wt.% chemicals, most of which are fire retardants such as boric acid and ammonium sulfate. It is required to secure its fire safety for more consumption as a building insulation in Korea. Therefore, this study investigates the fire resistance of Korean cellulose insulation according to the rate of fire retardant and finally presents the optimum rate of fire retardant in cellulose as building insulation. The fire safety test was conducted according to the ASTM C 1485-00. The test results indicate that above 18 wt% of fire retardant is necessary to secure the fire safety of cellulose insulation.

The combustion of cellulose insulation treated with Borax, Boric acid and Aluminum Sulfate as combustion retardants is examined by candle type combustion tester. The cellulose fibers in cellulose insulation are classified by diameter as less than 0.2mm, 0.2mm-0.5mm, 0.5mm-2mm and more than 2mm. The burning behavior of cellulose insulation are studied by LOI (Limit Oxygen Index: Beginning point of smoldering), L- point (Lower point of combustion transition from smoldering- flaming to flaming combustion), LOI, L-point and H-point rise with the increasing particle size of cellulose fibers because thermal decomposition rate of cellulose fiber decreases. The phenomena of combustion transition from smoldering to flaming combustion are determined by the generating rate of combustible gas and the formation rate of combustible gas mixture within the zone of cellulose fiber heated.

The smouldering combustion of cellulose insulation treated with boric acid-borax-alum as combustion retardants are examined by Candle type combustibility tester. This sequence was examined quantitatively for longitudinal cylinder bed of cellulose insulation. Two configuration are possible, downward and upward smoulder spread ; both were investigated exprimentally. The smoulder spread velocity of cellulose insulation was 2.5cm/s -5.0cm/s in smoulder region. As results of critical oxygen content measurement, the effectiveness of alum as third combustion retardant are acceptable for flaming retardant effect. The phenomena of combustion transition are governed by quantity of commbustible gas generation In heating zone of cellulose insulation. The critial oxygen content are decreased with the increase of gas flow rate.

The smouldering combustibility of cellulose insulation treated with boric acid-borax-aluminium sulfate as combustion retardants are examined by cigarette ignition method and electrical cardrige heater method. The effectiveness of Aluminium sulfate as a third combustion are acceptable both smouldering resistance and flame resistance at 18% level of all examined formulation. As the proportion of Aluminium sulfate in the formulation was increased, the flame resistance of cellulose insulation was improved.

In this paper, to developing thermally and mechanically upgraded ones, we dismounted pole transformers used in the fields for over 13 years and conducted aged oil analysis. Also, when the cellulose and aramid papers in test cell were aging with oil at $130^{\circ}C$ for 3000 hours, with the testing period cellulose paper deteriorated more rapidly than the others. For example dielectric strength and dissipation factor of papers deteriorated with aging time. For evaluation of thermal aging characteristics, a mineral oil-immersed transformer was constructed with hybrid insulation system comprised of aramid paper and cellulose insulation. A Hybrid system has economic advantages. Cellulose materials are confined to cooler regions of the transformer winding. And aramid papers are served to insulate contact parts of hot conductors.

섬유질 단열재는 주로 폐신문지로 만드는 데, 내화성능을 위해 내화재로 처리된다. 내화재로 인해 연소가 되지 않을 뿐 아니라, 연기도 나지 않는다. 섬유질 단열재의 열저항은 유리섬유나 암면보다 더 뛰어나다. 섬유질 단열재는 폐지로 만들어지므로 폐기시에는 잘 부식되고, 내재에너지 또한 매우 작은 친환경 단열재이다. 국내 건축물에 섬유질 단열재를 광범위하게 이용하기 위해서는 국내 건축법규 상의 단열규정에 적합한지 여부를 판단할 수 있는 물리적 성능 테스트가 필요하다. 따라서 국내에서 생산되는 섬유질 단열재에 대한 열전도율 및 내화성능 실험을 ASTM C 518과 ASTM C 1485에 근거하여 실시하였다. 국내생산 섬유질 단열재는 동일밀도의 미국제품에 비해 열전도율이 약 5%정도 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 폐지원지의 섬유질이 서로 다른데서 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 습식분사방식과 공기충진방식 모두 온도가 $5.5^{\circ}C$ 상승할 때 마다 약 1.5%씩 열전도율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 섬유질 단열재의 내화성능은 내화재의 함유량에 비례하여 일정하게 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 높은 내화성능으로 인해 불에 약한 우레탄폼이나 스치로폼을 대체할 수 있다. 섬유질 단열재의 열전도율은 시편의 온도가 $4-43^{\circ}C$인 경우 $0.037-0.043W/m{\cdot}K$로 나타났다. 이는 국내 건축법규 상의 "나"등급에 해당하는 값이다. 내화재가 열전도율에 미치는 영향은 미미하였으며, 내화재가 전혀 들어있지 않은 경우가 가장 열전도율이 높게 나타났다. 섬유질 단열재의 단열성능은 유리섬유나 암면에 비해 뛰어나고, 스치로폼이나 우레탄폼에 비해 내화성능은 훨씬 뛰어나다. 따리서, 물리적인 성능을 고려한다면 위의 기존 단열재들을 대체할 수 있다. 섬유질 단열재는 스치로폼이나 우레탄폼에 비해 값도 싸므로 국내에서도 더욱 폭 넓게 사용하는 것이 추천된다.

Smoke evolved from burning cellulose insulation treated with boric acid-borax-alum as combustion retardants has been studied using a light absorption method. It has been shown that the quantity of smoke are decreased with the increase of oxygen concentration. Applied fire retardants did not increase smoke generation from investigated cellulose insulation in range of themal degradation without flaming. These same fire retardants increased from in the range of flaming combustion. The results of this work have been analysed using imperical equation, which correlated the smoke density at oxygen content of combustion transition. This equation may be. $\sigma$=$\sigma$$_{T}$ exp｛-7.24$\times$10$^{-7}$ ( $O_2$ $O_{2.T}$)｝Where $O_2$is the concentration of oxygen in the oxidizing gas, and $O_{2.T}$ refers to oxygen concentration of combustion transition.n.n.n.

This study was conducted to suggest the best union fabric to combine with cellulose fiber for summer and in-between seasons. Four types of union fabric, viz. silk/flax, silk/cotton, rayon/flax and rayon/cotton, were used as sample fabrics after weaving them in a local textile factory. The air permeability, moisture regain, water absorption, water vapor permeability and thermal insulation of the samples were tested. The results are as follows. The rayon/flax union fabric is the most suitable for summer clothes due to its having the best comfort property of air and water vapor permeability, and moisture and water absorption. For in-between seasons, it is recommended to use the silk/cotton union fabric because of its good thermal insulation properties.
