Is Sisalwool resistant to infestation?

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 fibre, it can be a food source for certain insects. Ecolan CEA acts as a (lifetime) protective barrier, making wool less appealing to pests.

Biodegradable and Environmentally Safer: Unlike traditional insecticides, Ecolan CEA is biodegradable and safer for the environment. It provides effective insect protection without harmful chemicals.
