"I'm aware of the term cellular glass insulation, but not sure what that means."
Sounds like you? Well, you are at the right place!
In this read, Fezeco-cellular glass supplier in Oman- tells you everything you need to know about cellular glass/ foam glass insulation.
What is Cellular Glass Insulation?
Cellular glass is an environmentally sustainable insulating material with remarkable physical properties. It is a glass foam substance made by a high-temperature reaction between glass and carbon. It has good thermal properties, and therefore it can be used as thermal insulation. Other properties of cellular glass include:
It has a cellular structure, and therefore it is impermeable
Non-flammable
High compressive strength
Resistance to soil humidity
Thermal conductivity Of Cellular Glass
Thermal conductivity is defined as the quantity of heat (in watts) transported owing to a temperature difference through a square area of material of a particular thickness (in metres). The lower the material's thermal conductivity, the better the material's capacity to resist heat transfer and, as a result, the more effective the insulation. Thermal conductivity ratings for foam glass are typically between 0.038 and 0.055W/mK.
Gases have more thermal insulating properties than solids and gases. So air and other gases trapped in (e.g., in a foam-like structure) form a very good insulating material. So, insulating materials like cellular glass/foam glass have a large number of gas-filled pockets.
