Abstract
An insulation board product is provided comprising a insulation board layer having a first major surface corresponding to or proximate to a contact or airflow surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A weatherproof barrier layer is applied to the insulation board layer and a bridging contact layer is coupled between the second major surface and the weatherproof barrier layer.
Claims31
An insulation board product comprising:
- a insulation board layer comprising a first major surface corresponding to or proximate to a contact or airflow surface and a second major surface opposite said first major surface;
- a weatherproof barrier layer applied to said insulation board layer;
- and
- a bridging contact layer coupled between said second major surface and said weatherproof barrier layer.
A method of forming an insulation board product, comprising:
- forming an insulation board layer comprising a first major surface corresponding to or proximate to a contact or an airflow surface and a second major surface opposite said first major surface;
- conveying said insulation board layer;
- providing a weatherproof barrier layer to said conveyed insulation board layer;
- disposing a bridging contact layer between said second major surface and said weatherproof barrier layer;
- and
- adhering said bridging contact layer and said weatherproof barrier to said insulation board layer.
An insulation board product comprising:
- an insulation board layer formed from fibrous material bound with a resin binder, said insulation board layer comprising a first major surface corresponding to or proximate to a contact or airflow surface and a second major surface opposite said first major surface;
- a weatherproof barrier layer applied to said insulation board layer, said weatherproof barrier layer comprising a foil-polymer laminate comprising at least three layers of foil and at least two polymer layers disposed therebetween;
- a paper layer coupled between and directly to said second major surface and said weatherproof barrier layer, wherein said paper layer is coupled to said second major surface and said weatherproof barrier layer with a first and second adhesive layers, respectively, said first adhesive layer comprises a non-releasable adhesive;
- and
- a nonwoven mat facing coupled to said first major surface.
An insulated duct or tank, comprising:
- a duct or tank;
- and
- at least one insulation board product secured to said duct or tank, said insulation board product comprising:
- an insulation board layer comprising a first major surface facing said duct or tank and a second major surface opposite said first major surface;
- a weatherproof barrier layer applied to said insulation board layer;
- and
- a bridging contact layer coupled between said second major surface and said weatherproof barrier layer.
