Abstract

Investigations have been carried out on insulation boards with a view to evaluate suitability of jute sticks for fibre boards. Comparing the results of jute sticks fibre board with the rice straw board' it is observed that jute sticks fibre are stronger' stiffer and dimensionally stable than rice straw boards. As the results on these studies are quite encouraging' the jute sticks can be used as raw material' for making insulation fibre boards.
