This research report to the thermophysical characterization of the kapok and the kapok-plaster
mixture. To carry out this characterization, we used the method off limp in permanent given to mode the
conductivity and also the Degiovanni model. This study shows that the kapok's conductivity dregs between 0.03
and 0.04 W/m.ºK for density which varies between 5 and 40 kg/m3. Taking also into account year average
diffusivity of 17.1x10-7 m2/s, kapok has good heat insulator. Associated with the plaster, it makes it possible
to improve the thermophysical characteristics off the plaster.
Key words: Conductivity, degiovanni model, diffusivity, flash, thermal insulation, kapok, permanent mode
