  • Patent number: 7767597
    Abstract: A fire-blocking paper (22, 52) is adapted for incorporation into a fire-barrier film laminate (16, 46) for use in thermal and acoustical insulation systems (10, 40), such as, but not limited to, those used in commercial aircraft. The fire-blocking inorganic fiber paper (22, 52) can be laminated to a flame resistant film (24a, 24b, 54a, 54b). The fire-blocking paper (22, 52) may include inorganic bio-soluble fiber, chopped glass non-respirable fibers, organic reinforcing fibers, organic binder, and inorganic binder or filler; and, optionally or refractory ceramic fibers.

  • Patent number: 5401588
    Abstract: The novel composition of the present invention comprises a paper-like sheet material or a non-woven mat which contains water-insoluble gypsum anhydrite microfibers and a cellulosic binder, such as cellulose fibers, optionally with glass fibers, which has surprising fire-retardant properties. Typical paper processing methods or wet process mat techniques are utilized in preparing this material. The flexible gypsum microfiber sheet or mat of this invention may be used as microfiber insulation, particularly in a fire retardant barrier.
