The kraft paper sheet alone or as part of a layered sheet material is used as a central field portion of facings for various faced building insulation assemblies. The facings, as part of an insulation assembly, are fungi growth resistant; may be perforated to provide the facing with a selected water vapor permeance; and/or may include a bonding layer, such as a heat activated bonding layer, that bonds the facing to an insulation layer of the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Ralph Michael Fay, Anthony E. Moore, Timothy D. Logsdon, Blake Boyd Bogrett

Patent number: RE42126Abstract: Disclosed is a delivery system for delivering an oral care substance to the oral cavity, the delivery system comprising: (a) a removable backing strip having sufficient flexibility so as to be readily conformable to an oral surface when the delivery system is placed thereagainst; and (b) an oral care composition applied to the strip of material such that when the delivery system is placed on the oral surface the oral care composition contacts the oral surface, the oral care composition comprising: (i) an organosiloxane resin; (ii) a theology modifier; and (iii) at least one oral care substance; wherein the oral care composition remains on the oral surface after the backing strip is removed. Further disclosed are such delivery systems in which the oral care composition further comprises fluid diorganopolysiloxane-based polymers; such compositions may further comprise carriers for solubilizing the organosiloxane resin and the fluid diorganopolysiloxane-based polymers.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2000Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Hai Ye, Christopher David Buckley, Jiang Yue
