Silvawool_scientifically processed wood fibers— is an efficient insulation. Professionally applied, the “blown-in"
method fills every corner and crevice, forming the insulation into a fluffy mat that locks out heat or cold. In the
manufacturing process the wood fibers are impregnated with fire and moisture retardants. For homes, refrigerated
warehouses or food locker plants, Silvawool helps maintain steady temperatures, with minimum fuel and power cost.
SILVAW OOL" INSULATION FOR HOMES AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
... another product of Weyerhaeuser development
Progress in forest product development helps to improve the
economy o f the Pacific Northwest. As new products are created
and proved, new plants are built. Result: more jobs.
Silvawool is an example. Developed by Weyerhaeuser to use
Pacific Northwest woods, Silvawool was first produced in a
pilot plant. Later, to meet the demand from home owners,
refrigeration specialists and building designers, a full scale pro­
duction plant was built in Snoqualmie Falls, Washington. This
is just one example o f practical, scientific use o f wood. It
increases the use and economic return o f the forest crop.
THESE W OM EN!
By d’Alessio
Weyerhaeuser scientists and technicians are continually
searching for new products. As new and better forest products
are created, other new plants will be built.
Quantity production of Silvawool comes from this
Weyerhaeuser-engineered plant. This machine per­
forms one of several complex operations in the
Company's Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, fiber plant.
New products create new payrolls. Together they help to
stabilize local communities and expand the tax base to support
government and schools.
