Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of providing thermal and/or acoustic insulation to a structure, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate which comprises fibres; applying the substrate to the structure; blending the substrate with a binder composition before, during or after application of the substrate to the structure; allowing curing of the binder composition after the substrate and the binder composition have been applied to the structure; wherein the binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid. The present invention also relates to an insulated structure obtainable by said method.

A method of providing thermal and/or acoustic insulation to a structure, comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate which comprises fibres;
- applying the substrate to the structure;
- blending the substrate with a binder composition before, during or after application of the substrate to the structure;
- allowing curing of the binder composition after the substrate and the binder composition have been applied to the structure;
- wherein the binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid, wherein the at least one hydrocolloid is a protein from animal sources;
- and
- wherein the binder composition comprises:
- at least one phenol containing compound;
- and/or
- at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13), protein disulfide isomerase (EC 5.3.4.1), thiol oxidase (EC 1.8.3.2), polyphenol oxidase (EC 1.14.18.1), catechol oxidase, tyrosine oxidase, and phenoloxidase, lysyl oxidase (EC 1.4.3.13), and peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7).
