The paper focuses on the various uses of several types of textile fibers (mainly byproducts)
in the development of modern insulation materials with a high value added. These
materials bear several specific advantages over conventional insulations, which enable, among
others, easier installation. Some of the newly developed insulations can also be used as core
insulations in the manufacture of vacuum insulation panels (VIP). In the context of the research, the
study of behavior of thermal insulating materials based on organic polymeric and natural fibers
(including fibers from recycled textiles) was conducted. The experimental materials were used to
study their physical and mechanical properties and their behavior under reduced pressure (up to
vacuum) to evaluation their possible use in the field of VIP as core insulations. Researches have
shown that developed insulation based on alternative base can have very good potential in the VIP
area and compete with the standard core insulations based on glass fibers of SiO2.
