ISOCELL is thermal insulation made from cellulose fibre, manufactured from newspaper in an optimizedrecycling process. Basically, ISOCELL’s raw material is wood with its excellent properties that

have been known for hundreds of years. ISOCELL is produced in Austria, Belgium and France

in plants rating amongst the most modern in Europe.

The pre-sorted newspaper supplied to the plant is cut into rough fibres, mixed with mineral

salts and finally ground in a mill. The mineral salts protect ISOCELL from vermin and mould

and make it resistant to rotting and fire.

Production is subject to strict quality criteria through internal and external monitoring for

German, Austrian and European certification. Outstanding features of the long-fibre flock are

its extremely low thermal conductivity and its non-settling characteristics.

ISOCELL is non-toxic, contains no dangerous substances or additives and is pleasantly soft and

warm to the touch. It does not irritate the skin and is non-aggressive and is therefore known

as a friendly insulation.

The cellulose fibres are blown into the cavities using machines operated by approved

specialist companies.

WHAT IS ISOCELL?

The fields of use for ISOCELL Cellulose insulation are numerous. ISOCELL’s blowing system

ensures a seamless insulation with no waste. It saves you time and money.

You might consider using the material for a new construction or a refurbishment project, for a

low-energy house or passive house construction, for a pitched roof, for ceiling systems, floors,

outer and inner walls in wood frame construction, insulation of inner walls, façade insulation,

storage tanks, installation ducts, etc.

LOOSE FILL: this system is used mainly for the insulation of floors where the insulation layer is

thin.

OPEN BLOW: the preferred method for seamless insulation of upper level ceilings and floors

between joists.

BLOW-IN: the technique for all cavities that are sealed inside and out before blowing procedure.

Inside the cavity the cellulose fibre mats, creating a perfectly fitting, seamless insulation mat

that settles well without slipping. Depending on the application a hose, a jet or a lance is used

for blowing.

SPRAYING: this technique is used in vertical sections of open constructions as e.g. stud walls

that are open on one side (installation level, intermediate walls), for sound insulation coatings

on ceilings and vaulted ceilings, for interior cellulose insulation without vapour barrier that can

be plastered over, as used in the thermal renovation of listed facades.

EXCELLENT HEAT SHIELDThe high storage capacity of ISOCELL cellulose insulation means there is a considerable delay

in the passage of the sun’s radiated warmth. Even attics stay cool until well into the night,

meaning undisturbed sleep for you. In the same way that the U value can be calculated for

thermal insulation, heat protection can also be measured. In this case we speak of phase lag.

The PHI phase lag indicates in hours the time a temperature wave needs to move from the

outside of a construction to the room inside. The greater the temporal shift in heat transition,

the longer the heating of the building’s interior will take!

GREATER SOUND INSULATIONDense and seamlessly installed cellulose insulation also offers considerable advantages in this

field. In comparative tests on intermediate walls the sound insulation values were up to 7dB

higher compared with conventional fibre matting.

OPTIMUM THERMAL VALUESIts low thermal conductivity value is not the only outstanding feature of ISOCELL. Everyone

knows that any insulation is only as good as its weakest point. ISOCELL cellulose insulation

fills even the narrowest of gaps and cracks. The result is a seamless insulation mat without

thermal bridges.

MOISTURE REGULATIONWithout any loss of its thermal properties ISOCELL Cellulose insulation is capable of storing

moisture and releasing it again. This specific moisture- saving capacity has a regulatory effect

on room climate. In refurbishment or flat roof systems without rear ventilation ISOCELL serves

as moisture buffer in the sense of construction physics. In addition, the air and wind-tightness

in wood constructions is considerably higher compared with conventional fibre matting.

Altogether, the natural characteristics of cellulose fibre in combination with ISOCELL’s

blowing technology fulfil the highest demands in respect of room climate and energy saving.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR ENVIRONMENTIt is a well-known fact that good insulation not only saves heat energy but also conserves the

environment. From an ecological point of view the production of ISOCELL Cellulose insulation

is also unbeatable: compared with other insulation materials, such as polystyrene or glass wool,

the primary energy input is much lower. It is one sixth of that required for the production of

polystyrene and one third compared with glass fibre production.

GREATER FIRE PROTECTIONMore and more often ISOCELL proves its superiority in fire protection compared with

conventional insulating materials, as proved in successful fire protection tests on construction

components from F30 to F90. With EN classification B-s2-d0 ISOCELL Cellulose insulation

achieves one of the best ratings possible for inflammable insulation materials.

The professional blower arrives on site with his truck and brings everything he needs with him:

the blowing machine and the material. The construction engineer, carpenter or dry-lining

expert has already installed an airtight vapour barrier and the mounting battens for the inner

cladding.

Only the blowing hose must be brought up to the top floor, no cumbersome material. The bags

are filled into the machine on the truck. One product for floors, walls and ceiling – an easy

task for the builder who saves the money otherwise required for a helper.
