Wool in 15: English staple — Section 966: English staple
Dossier 966 for Wool links case “English staple” directly to metric 15 (15). wool · beat 1 · Coatings, sizings, facers, galvanizing, anodising, painting. Keep Wool with “English staple” and 15 from 15. Fasteners, adhesives, DFT, compression, dryness — site quality is a material property.
Crimped keratin that traps still air — suiting, carpets and a quietly decent fire story among apparel fibres. Wool is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under textiles: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue. When reading the “English staple” stage inside the Wool atlas entry, recording both the reference period and the operating boundary around figure 15 prevents common misinterpretations in real-world decisions.
Scores compare Wool with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates. Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Wool (keratin protein) is a family of grades whose density ~1.31 g/cm³, heat band chars; does not melt-drip like PE, and fire letter better than commodity synthetics in many apparel tests. Wool is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry keratin protein, density ~1.31 g/cm³, heat band chars; does not melt-drip like PE.
“English staple” for Wool in 15 carries 15. Praise without that figure is not a property. Keep Wool with “English staple” and 15 from 15. 1515

Interactive Scenario & Decision Matrix
Select your current objective to inspect the recommended benchmark, threshold, and verification path.
Keep heat resistance {heat}.
Briefing 11 for Aerogel aligns condition “Kistler” with reference value 0 on the ground.
Aerogel: 0 (1931)Keep the thermal line {therm0}.
Reading 12 of Aerogel uses “Lab curiosities” and figure 80 as a checkable baseline.
Aerogel: 80 (1960s)Use {therm0} only if it agrees with score {heat}. If they conflict, do not pick a product from this page.
Atlas note 13 on Aerogel defines the operating range of 0 when “NASA Stardust” applies.
Aerogel: 0 (1990s)Reading 4 of Aerogel uses “Aspen Aerogels” and figure 0 as a checkable baseline.
Dossier 14 for Aerogel links case “Aspen Aerogels” directly to metric 0 (1998).

Material pages compare grades, process, and fire/thermal behavior for browsing — not a substitute for building codes or structural engineering.
Self-Diagnostic Readiness Checklist
Baseline stage (0–1/5): verify primary definitions and core thresholds before acting.
5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Read the fire-performance mark — Fire on this hub is {fire}/100 — teaching comparison among atlas materials.
- Read the insulation mark — Insulation is {insul}/100 — heat-flow story, not the same question as flame.
- Sit one published fact beside them — Quick fact on file: {fact0}.
- Sustainability is not a fire skip — A high sustainability mark does not replace fire protection in a real assembly.
- Not a building-code rating — Named tests, thickness and build-up still decide compliance — this page is literacy only.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Is the fire-performance score a building-code rating?
No. It is an editorial 0–100 teaching mark among materials in this atlas. A real wall or garment needs a named product test, thickness and assembly. This page is not a lab stamp.
When should I read insulation instead of fire?
Use the insulation pick when the question is heat flow — lining, loft, or a cold-bridge — and the fire pick when the question is how the same material behaves in flame. Both numbers already sit on this hub; they answer different jobs.
Does a high sustainability score mean I can skip fire protection?
No. Sustainability here is a relative atlas mark (growth, reuse, embodied story). Bamboo and timber can still char like wood. Fire protection stays a separate specification.
Why is bamboo missing in some languages?
A language URL is published only when the seven chapters are real prose in that language. Bamboo exists in English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish. French, German, Portuguese and Russian stay withheld — earlier machine drafts leaked English, so those URLs are not opened.
