US 2019/0153722 A1 · Insulation Material Arrangement

Abstract

An insulating material arrangement (10) is disclosed for insulating a building structure (50) such as a wall (52). The material arrangement (10) includes a planar backing layer (12), a planar adhesive layer (14) co-planar with the backing layer (12) and a planar phase change material (“PCM”) layer (16) which is arranged between the backing layer (12) and the adhesive layer (14), and is also co-planar therewith. The adhesive layer (14) is adapted to secure the material arrangement (10) to the structure in a fitted condition in which the adhesive layer (14) is contacted with the building structure (50). The PCM layer (16) is formed of a silicone foam polymer that is impregnated in some embodiments with micro-encapsulated phase change material in the form of beads, shells or granules (110), and in another arrangement, the PCM layer can also comprise a silicone foam polymer that is impregnated with a phase change material which is absorbed into an amount of porous, inorganic, finely-sized particulate solids (a so-called “bound PCM”).

Dependent claims

A material arrangement for insulating a building structure, the material arrangement including:

a backing layer;
an adhesive layer including a pressure sensitive adhesive;
and
a phase change material layer between the backing layer and the adhesive layer;
wherein the phase change material layer includes a fire-retardant silicone foam polymer material which is impregnated with phase change material, said layer being formed by mixing the phase change material with uncured silicone foam polymer then cold-curing;
and the adhesive layer is adapted to secure the material arrangement to the structure in a fitted condition in which the adhesive layer is contacted with the building structure.
