What is this ceiling made of?

[Triggen]

We have a ceiling in a room in the house that was likely originally intended as a hobby room or garage, but it has parquet flooring and has had since the construction in 1970.

I wonder what kind of ceiling this is? What is it called, what is it made of, and any other points of interest.

It looks like "flat" spaghetti and if you handle it a bit roughly, it breaks into pieces.

There was originally a roof above, but now there's an extension, if that's of any help

See pictures / Thanks in advance!

Never seen it. Stylish, cool, and different

Insulating, soundproofing, flame retardant, and moisture resistant.

Often used in parking garages and I have also seen it in several houses with attached garages. It is probably fairly soundproofing. However, it is worthless to screw into...

Also found in various schools around the country. Crumbles if you "accidentally" throw a ball at it.

There was originally an exterior roof on top, but now there's an extension, if that helps

It is sound and moisture balancing and fireproof...
Träullit... as several have said...
It is an excellent material that needs to be used more

Reviving the thread as I need to find insulation material for the floor against the crawl space in the log house. We have remediated house fungus, so cellulose feels risky if something comes to life... We have received advice on flax and hemp, but these are hard to find and quite expensive. Could this be a good alternative? The wood fibers appear to be covered in concrete, so maybe difficult for the fungus to grow in anyway...? Anyone know?
