  • Patent number: 9341017
    Abstract: A process for making a door structure and particularly a fibrous panel member for a subdoor structure. The process includes mixing a porous fiber material with a MDI adhesive. The fiber construct is compressed between a pair of porous belts. Steam and heat are applied to the compressed construct to form a bound flexible constructing material. The material is then placed within a door structure to form a fire resistant door.

  • Patent number: 9334659
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150079369
    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.
