  • Publication number: 20230279985
    Abstract: An improved acoustic and thermal insulation batting for use, for example, between airframe ribs in aircrafts, and that is stable, lightweight, air permeable to mitigate corrosion issues as well as inherently fire resistant and sized and shaped such that there is no need for positive retention mechanisms owing to the nature of the batting which allows for a compression or friction fit in place. The batting comprises a foam insulation core over which is provided one or more barrier, facing and/or edge layers.

  • Patent number: 11351752
    Abstract: A multi-layer liner material for use as a thermal and acoustical insulator which is lightweight, breathable, hydrophobic, oleophobic and fire-resistant. A central insulation core layer is contacted on a first surface by a first highly breathable layer and on a second surface by a second highly breathable layer, such that these three layers are resistant to water or oil penetrating the insulation core layer causing the liner to gain weight. The first and second highly breathable layers are preferably made from inherently flame resistant fibers and treated with a fluorocarbon surface treatment for water repellency, UV resistance and mold/mildew resistance. The first highly breathable layer is adjacent a facing layer while the second highly breathable layer is adjacent a backing layer. At least one surface of one of the first or second highly breathable layers, or facing or backing layers may include a carbon printing pattern to provide ESD protection.

  • Publication number: 20170144406
    Abstract: A multi-layer fabric configured for use as a protective cover includes a top and bottom textile layer and an air permeable, moisture-vapor-transmissive, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane layer located between the two textile layers. At least the top layer is a textile layer made of woven or non-woven basalt fibers. The bottom layer may also be a basalt layer. The cover exhibits an MVTR rating of at least 4000 g/m2/day.

  • Publication number: 20150298440
    Abstract: A multi-layer thermal acoustical liner is breathable, hydrophobic, oliophobic and fire-resistant rated. The liner includes a central insulation core layer contacted on a first surface by a first highly breathable layer and on a second surface by a second highly breathable layer. The first and second highly breathable layers are preferably an ePTFE membrane. The first highly breathable layer is adjacent a facing layer while the second highly breathable layer is adjacent a backing layer. The backing and facing layers are preferably nylon and treated with a fluorocarbon surface treatment for water repellency, UV resistance and mold/mildew resistance. At least one surface of one of the first or second highly breathable layers may include a carbon printing pattern to provide ESD protection. The layers of the liner are laminated to one another.
