Abstract: Pipe insulation assemblies (10) comprising tubular insulation (100) having a longitudinal slit (400), a jacket (110), releasable tape (120), butt sealant strips (600), and/or closing adhesives are disclosed. The jacket (110) overlays the outer surface of the tubular insulation (100). The jacket (110) has an extended lip portion (200) extending beyond the longitudinal slit (400). An adhesive (420) and an internal release liner (130) are located on the extended lip portion (200).

Abstract: A duct liner includes an insulation layer and a facing. The insulation layer having a first edge surface, a second edge surface that is spaced apart from the first edge surface, and a first and second face surfaces that extend from the first edge surface to the second edge surface. The facing is disposed on the first face surface, such that the first face surface is entirely covered by the facing. The facing is disposed on the first and second edge surfaces, such that the first and second edge surfaces are entirely covered by the facing. Two spaced apart strips of the facing are disposed on and cover a portion of the second face surface adjacent to the first and second edge surfaces, such that a portion of the second face surface between the strips is uncovered by the facing.

Abstract: A jacket configured to encase building component insulation is provided. The jacket comprises at least inner layer, an intermediate layer attached to the inner layer, and an outer layer attached to the intermediate layer. The inner layer, intermediate layer and outer layers are configured for attachment to each other with the use at least one of heat, polymeric material, and pressure. Additionally, the jacket complies with the standards of flame retardancy as provided by ASTM C1136.

Abstract: A duct insulation laminate an insulation layer and a facing. The insulation layer includes an insulation layer having a first edge surface, a second edge surface that is spaced apart from the first edge surface, a first face surface that extends from the first edge surface to the second edge surface, and a second face surface that is opposed to and spaced apart from the first face surface. The second face surface extends from the first edge surface to the second edge surface. The facing is attached to the first face surface, and includes a polyester blended non-woven veil defining an outermost exterior surface of the duct insulation laminate.

Abstract: A method for positioning a vapor retarder within an insulation system to reduce condensation within the insulation system is provided. The incremental change in temperature per R-value of insulation is calculated by determining the temperature differential between the exterior temperature and the interior temperature and dividing this temperature differential by the R-value of insulation. Various possible temperatures for the vapor retarder within the insulation may be determined using the incremental change in temperature. The R-values of the insulation layers on either side of the vapor retarder may be determined by a condensation potential analysis. Preferably, the vapor retarder is positioned within the insulation system at a location where its temperature remains above the interior dew point temperature in the summer and above the exterior dew point temperature in the winter. An insulation system including a variably positioned vapor retarder is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a finished faced insulation system for use where a reduced thickness is desired for interior basement applications for walls not requiring thermal insulation (non-thermal gradient walls) and for the interior of basement walls where thermal insulation is required (thermal gradient walls). The insulation system of the present invention is also suitable for use on masonry walls, frame construction walls, and combined construction walls (knee-walls). The insulations system provides an insulative core having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface being suitable for exposure to an interior of a room, said second surface being suitable for being placed adjacent a wall; a decorative facer adhered to said first surface; and a structural facer adhered to said second surface.
