Table 1.1: Characteristics of A Cellulose Insulation
Cogon grass (Imperata Cylindrica) is considered the worlds seventh worst weed. It
infests over 1.2 million acre worldwide. It frequently spreads in large areas, and is
highly adaptable to a wide range of soil and environmental conditions. Using cogon
grass (imperata cylindrica) researches can produce cheaper cellulose insulation
product. An abnormal supply of cogon grass (Imperata Cylindrica) can be lessened if
turned to a productive product like being a main component on cellulose insulation.
This research will produce a cheap, inflammable/heat-resistant, sound proof and
rodent/insect resistant product when combined with a building medium.
