  • Loose-fill insulation having irregularly shaped fibers
    Patent number: 5786082
    Abstract: A loose-fill insulation product having irregularly shaped glass fibers is provided. The loose-fill insulation product shows improved recovery, lower thermal conductivity and requires lower product densities than prior art loose-fill insulation at equivalent fiber diameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 28, 1998
    Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael E. Evans, John R. Mumaw, Roberta L. Alkire, W. Scott Miller, Ronald A. Houpt, Russell M. Potter, Tod D. Green, David P. Aschenbeck, Clarke Berdan, II
  • Pourable or blowable loose-fill insulation product
    Patent number: 5683810
    Abstract: A loose-fill insulation product is provided which may be poured or blown by a consumer. The insulation is comprised of irregularly-shaped glass fibers which are comprised of two distinct glass compositions. The loose-fill insulation product may be densely packaged in a small container for consumer use, and shows improved recovery, good thermal efficiency, and low dust upon blowing or pouring.
    Type: Grant

  • Blended loose-fill insulation having irregularly-shaped fibers
    Patent number: 5624742
    Abstract: A loose-fill insulation product is provided which is formed from a blend of first and second insulating materials having three-dimensional groups of fibers of different sizes and densities. At least one of the insulating materials is comprised of irregularly-shaped glass fibers comprised of two distinct glass compositions. When blended with the fibers of a standard insulation or with other irregularly-shaped fibers of different sizes, the resulting loose-fill insulation product shows improved coverage and thermal efficiency.

  • Dual-glass fibers and insulation products therefrom
    Patent number: 5536550
    Abstract: A glass fiber insulation product comprises irregularly-shaped glass fibers of two different glasses having differing coefficients of thermal expansion, with the irregularly-shaped dual-glass fibers exhibiting a substantially uniform volume filling nature, and providing improved recovery and thermal conductivity abilities even in the absence of a binder material.
    Type: Grant
