The thermal insulation material market is expected to reach US$ 70.74 billion by 2023 and grow at a 5.6% CAGR. The best way to reduce energy consumption is to insulate all partitions of a building effectively. Polyurethane foam, mineral wool, and polystyrene foam are the most common thermal insulation materials used in buildings, which provide both acoustic and thermal insulation.
The market offers other products with similar physical and chemical characteristics. This parameter indicates the thermal conductivity of a thermal insulation material (lambda). Coefficients of thermal conductivity indicate how well a material will perform as a thermal insulator, thus demonstrating its energy efficiency.

According to researchers, a new non-toxic insulation material has been developed, which helps reduce noise and thermal transfer in building construction. Using this material takes less of an environmental toll since it is derived from a natural substance. An insulwood material produced by University of Maryland engineers can be used to insulate structures such as walls and roofs. In addition to being highly porous and scalable, it is also cost-effective. However, is made from lignin and hemicellulose found in wood, rather than toxic or petroleum-based materials that are typically found in current insulation.
Buildings can be made more energy-efficient and noise-proof by using environmentally friendly insulation materials that are not harmful to residents or the environment. Humans are being provided with a comfortable living environment by manufacturers using this renewable, eco-friendly material for thermal and acoustic insulation. An eco-friendly alternative insulation has been developed by ORNL scientists without chemicals that are harmful to the environment. In order to make the thermoplastic foam, hollow glass spheres are mixed with expandable polymer microspheres. A variety of insulation systems can benefit from the technology, which is easily adopted by industry.
