Traditional thermal insulation panels consume large amounts of energy during production and emits pollutants into the environment. To mitigate this impact, development bio-based materials is an attractive alternative. In context, characteristics Eucalyptus fiber bark (EGFB) make it a candidate for applications. However, more knowledge about manufacturing process in-service performance needed. The present study characterized properties that determinate behaviour EGFB panel. assessment involved two different process. results indicated hot plates saturated steam injection system can produce with similar theoretical bulk density. conductivity fluctuated between 0.064 0.077 W/m.K, which good insulation. Furthermore, values obtained diffusivity water vapor transmission are comparable other commercially available panels. guarantee performance, need to be treated flame retardant antifungal additive. panel relevant because generate less CO2 eq require consumption compared traditional alternatives, contributing sustainability forestry construction industry.
