  • Patent number: 7303799
    Abstract: A frangible fiberglass insulation batt includes a pair of fiberglass strips arranged to lie in side-by-side relation to one another and a frangible polymerized binder bridge spanning a gap between the fiberglass strips and retaining the fiberglass strips in side-by-side relation. To produce such a batt, a stream of uncured fiberglass insulation is cut along its length to form two side-by-side fiberglass strips and then passed through a curing oven to cause heat generated in the oven to polymerize (cure) binder associated with the strips in the gap to form the frangible polymerized binder bridge.

  • Patent number: 6638882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of preparing improved fiber glass compositions using an improved resin binder. The resin binder comprises an aqueous solution of a resole resin, a catalyst comprising an ammonia salt of an aryl sulfonic acid, and optional binder modifiers. It has been found that the use of ammonium aryl sulfonate salts in resin binder compositions, as in the present invention, provides an enhanced cure rate and also enables manufacture of a fiber glass composition exhibiting enhanced uncured storage properties, increased thermal stability, and reduced corrosiveness to metals.

  • Patent number: 6186354
    Abstract: A wedge box of alveolar material having a container and a lid. The container or the lid includes a window which is transparent and which is integrated and molded in the alveolar material to permit viewing the contents of the box. The box is molded by means of a mold having two cavities which include several raised surfaces. The raised surfaces are separated by a space which permit gripping of a transparent member which is to be integrated into the box as a window. Alveolar material is introduced into the molding cavity and is then expanded.
