  • Patent number: 11046500
    Abstract: An insulative insert for a shipping container includes at least one insulative pad and an inner layer. The at least one insulative pad is formed from fibers of a first material having a first strength. The first material includes at least one of cellulose and synthetic polymer. The inner layer is formed from a second material having a second strength that is greater than the first strength. The inner layer is joined to the at least one insulative pad to form the insulative insert. The insulative insert is configured to lie flat in an unfolded position and to form a cube shape in a folded position.

  • Patent number: 10273073
    Abstract: A shipping container has an inner insulative sleeve having an outer, longitudinally extending, polymer film with lateral edges folded on itself to form a pocket having an opening and sealable by a flap. An assembly has an inner, longitudinally extending, biodegradable film having lateral edges and a longitudinal extending pad composed of textile cuttings and microbial and super-absorbent powders. The inner film extends longitudinally around the pad and is attached to the pad.

  • Patent number: 10196828
    Abstract: A flooring material having a textile pad substructure with a density of greater than 10 pounds per cubic foot is provided. The textile pad has reinforcement and binding fibers. The binding fibers are thermoplastic and are used to bind the reinforcement fibers together. The pad is created by heating and compressing a fibrous textile batt so that it has a density of greater than 13 pounds per cubic foot.

  • Patent number: 9771727
    Abstract: A process for making a fibrous panel member and a flooring structure is disclosed. The flooring structure has a subfloor, a surface layer, and an insulative pad disposed between the subfloor and the surface layer. The insulative pad has an MDI binder and reinforcement fibers distributed uniformly and randomly within a first plane. The process includes mixing a porous fiber material with a MDI adhesive. The fiber batt is compressed between a pair of porous belts. Steam and heat are applied to the compressed batt to form a bound flexible batting material.
