Abstract
A hybrid insulation product, and a related system and method of producing the hybrid insulation product in a cost-effective manner are disclosed. The insulation product has superior insulating and flame-retarding properties when compared to fiberglass insulation. The product can be used in blown-in applications, batts production, and board production.
Claims6
A hybrid insulation product comprising:
- a non-homogeneous mix of fibers resistant to high temperatures and fiberglass fibers;
- wherein the hybrid insulation product has flame retarding characteristics;
- wherein the fibers resistant to high temperatures have a first length and the fiberglass fibers have a second length;
- wherein the first length is more than four times greater than the second length;
- wherein the fibers resistant to high temperatures have a first width and the fiberglass fibers have a second width;
- wherein the second width is at most ½ of the first width;
- wherein the non-homogeneous fibers and trapped air within the non-homogeneous fibers enhance the insulating capability (R value) of the non-homogeneous mix of fibers to be greater than the R value of both the fibers resistant to high temperatures and the fiberglass fibers alone, and
- wherein the product is binder free and configured to be installed with a blown-in application as a binder free insulation product.
