Abstract
A particulate insulation comprises a plurality of particles. Each of the particles has a density of at least about 1 g/cm3 and includes a material that is viscoelastic, elastomeric, and/or polymeric. The particles are substantially non-toxic, non-hygroscopic, odorless, and resistant to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
Claims25
An insulation comprising:
- a plurality of free-flowing particles, each of the particles having a density of at least about 1 g/cm3 and including a material, the material being at least one of a viscoelastic, elastomeric, or polymeric material, the particles being substantially non-toxic, non-hygroscopic, odorless, and resistant to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
An assembly including an insulation:
- the insulation comprising a plurality of free-flowing particles, each of the particles having a density of at least about 1 g/cm3 and including a material, the material being at least one of a viscoelastic, elastomeric, or polymeric material, the particles being substantially non-toxic, non-hygroscopic, odorless, and resistant to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
A coating composition comprising:
- a plurality of free-flowing particles, each of the particles having a density of at least about 1 g/cm3, an average particle size of about 0.04 mm to about 4.0 mm and including a material selected from the group consisting of a crumb rubber, a reground polymer, a recycled polymer, a virgin polymer, and blends thereof, the coating composition being capable of damping, attenuating, or isolating at least one of vibrational energy, acoustic energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic energy, or radio waves.
