  • Method for bonding facing to insulation
    Publication number: 20060263566
    Abstract: A method and configuration are provided for joining a facing having periodic rows of perforations to insulation. Adhesive is applied to the perforated facing in a periodic pattern. The facing is joined to the insulation. The periodic pattern is offset from the rows of perforations, or the period of the pattern is different from the period of the rows of perforations, so that at least some of the perforations do not coincide with any of the pattern of adhesive.

  • Method of reinforcing fiber mat for building insulation
    Publication number: 20050066691
    Abstract: Reinforced fiber insulation is formed by depositing a mixture of textile fiber segments and rotary and/or flame attenuated segments on a surface, mixing a binder with the fibers, and heating the binder to join the fibers together. The low cost process provides a mixed fiber insulation product with improved strength after compression.
