Abstract: A fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 8 ?m and about 20 ?m. The glass microfibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 0.5 ?m and about 3 ?m. The glass microfibers may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers. The aerogel particles may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers and the glass microfibers. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles. The binder bonds the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together.

Abstract: A fiber reinforced insulation product may include a first layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite and a second layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite. The first layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a first binder that may form a first binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the first layer together. The second layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a second binder that may form a second binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the second layer together. The fiber reinforced insulation product may further include a third binder that may form a third binding framework that bonds the first layer and the second layer together. The third binder may be dispersed throughout the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: A polyiso foam wall board includes a polyisocyanurate foam core produced from an isocyanate and a polyol. The wall board also includes a facer material applied to an outer surface of the polyisocyanurate foam core and an intumescent coating applied to the facer material.

Abstract: A method for producing an insulation product may include providing an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, the aerogel particles, and the binder may be uniformly dispersed in the aqueous solution and may form a slurry. The method may further include removing at least a portion of water from the slurry such that the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, the aerogel particles, and the binder may form a wet laid mixture. The method may also include curing the wet laid mixture to cure the binder and bond the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together to form a fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles.

Abstract: Molds for forming fiber reinforced insulation and methods of using the molds are described. One exemplary mold may include an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold and the lower mold may be coupleable to define a mold cavity for receiving therein a fiber reinforced insulation preform. The upper mold may include a plurality of apertures that may be configured to allow moisture from the fiber reinforced insulation preform to pass through the upper mold while substantially preventing fibers from the fiber reinforced insulation preform from passing through the upper mold such that the fiber reinforced insulation preform dries and cures to form the fiber reinforced insulation product. The plurality of apertures may collectively define an open area of at least 20% of an inner surface area of the upper mold that may contact the fiber reinforced insulation preform.
