We are often asked if SISALWOOL™ insulation products are resistant to infestation . The simple answer is YES!
We use Ecolan CEA which is a surfactant-based solution developed by AgResearch that helps protect wool from insect damage. Here are some key points about it:
Insect Protection: Ecolan CEA is specifically designed to prevent insects from damaging wool. Since wool is a natural protein fiber, it can be a food source for certain insects. Ecolan CEA acts as a (lifetime) protective barrier, making wool less appealing to pests.
