In our urban environment insulation is applied more and more. Insulation against heat losses and noise pollution. Designers and builders can choose from many materials which can fulfil one or both functions.
In earlier days the choice was mainly determined by price and quality. Nowadays the demand for a healthy environment and living climate sets new criteria.
As you know, many insulation materials can be hazardous for human beings and environment.
For all designers and builders who are aware of these problems there is now the healthy alternative: Cocoplate.
Cocoplate is made from the coir fibres of the coconut husk. These coir fibres are being curled and then interconnected by means of a needling process. After that rubber latex is sprayed on the fibres and then pressed into dense plates. By heating the rubber is vulcanised, and in that way all coir fibres are bonded by means of 'rubberstrings'. Cocoplate has therefore excellent shock- and sound absorbing properties. Because coir fibres are hollow the heat insulation is very good as well.
Cocoplate is the environmental alternative to synthetic insulation materials. The handling and presence of Cocoplate does not harm human beings and the environment in any way. The raw materials -coir fibres and rubber latex- are constantly being reproduced by nature and the ecological balance is not endangered. This makes Cocoplate excellently suitable for many insulation applications.
