Abstract: A composite non-vision insulation panel unit comprising an exterior sheet and an interior sheet which define a cavity there between, said cavity housing one or more insulation panels. The insulation panel(s) is/are spaced apart from said interior and exterior sheets respectively by means of a damping material having a shore A hardness value in the range of from 0 to 60 according to ASTM D 2240-05(2010), and the composite non-vision insulation panel unit is sealed with a sealant which maintains the cavity width between said interior and exterior sheet and encloses the cavity of the composite non-vision insulation panel units.

Abstract: A gunnable adhesive composition includes a silicone resin and an organopolysiloxane, or a reaction product thereof; as well as a filler and a solvent. The silicone resin and the organopolysiloxane are present in amounts to provide a resin/polymer ratio ranging from 58% to 64%. The gunnable adhesive composition may be applied to low surface energy substrates at ambient temperatures without primer or other surface treatment. The gunnable adhesive composition and adhesive product thereof are useful in weather barrier applications, such as building wraps.

Abstract: A series of wall insulating panels (“WIPs”) for a modular wall insulating system, each WIP comprising at least the successive layers of: a first protective shell, one or more intermediate VIP panels; and a second protective shell. The WIPs of the series comprise two or more sets, each set comprising first and second protective shells having wholly or substantially the same outer dimensions, and at least first and second sets comprising a different number of the same VIP panels and/or differently shaped VIP panels. In this way, there can be provided to an architect, designer and/or installer of the WIPs, different sets of VIP wall insulation panels having a single ‘shape’ or ‘outer shape’. The designer, etc. can then more easily work out, plan or otherwise predict how many and which WIPs are required and where, both overall, and for each wall section, position or location, etc.

Abstract: A wall insulation panel for use on a wall comprises at least the successive layers of: a first protective panel having a wall-meeting surface and a vacuum insulating panel (VIP) facing surface, an intermediate VIP panel; and a second protective panel having a VIP facing surface and an outward facing surface. There is an expansion region between at least one of the first and second protective panels and the VIP panel to allow for expansion of the VIP panel without deformation of the outward facing surface of the second protective panel. In this way, the expansion region allows for expansion of the VIP panel without deformation of the VIP facing surface of the second panel, and thus without deformation of the outward facing surface. This maintains the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the outward facing surface, and any further surface or layer thereon, such as a rendered layer.

Abstract: A structural adhesive tape includes a closed cell silicone foam support and a structural adhesive composition on opposing sides of the closed cell silicone foam support. The structural adhesive composition may be a condensation reaction curable pressure sensitive adhesive composition. The structural adhesive tape is useful in structural glazing applications, such as curtain wall applications.

Abstract: A form stable gel may be used to make a seal between substrates to minimize air and moisture penetration. The form stable gel is useful in construction industry applications such as sealing window frame members, sealing retrofit and replacement windows, as well as indoor applications such as sealing bathtubs, sinks and shower surrounds. The form stable gel is also useful for sealing applications in boat hulls.
