Abstract
Man-made material for home insulation were used in a Belgian private home. After 2 years, several of the panels have become spotted dark-grey. Several samples of each regions from this material were observed with light microscopy, with SEM and a Tracor X-ray energy dispersive microanalysis attachment. Overall, the results indicate that the fibrous material studied originates from a melted product which, in the dark areas, has retained some gaseous component which has expanded and leached out, leaving morphologically altered fibers through time and maturation.
