Abstract
The invention relates to a heat-insulating board which has a core and a cover. The core is composed of compacted, finely particulate metal oxide and, optionally, additions of opacifier and fibrous material. The cover is composed in part of metal foil arranged on those faces that are to be directed against the heat flow. The remainder of the cover is composed of a material that inhibits heat flow. A method for manufacturing the board is also disclosed.
Claims6
A heat-insulating board comprising:
- a board-shaped core of compacted heat-insulating inorganic material of the following composition:
- 30 to 100% by weight of a finely particulate metal oxide;
- 0 to 50% by weight of an opacifier;
- and
- 0 to 20% by weight of a fibrous material;
- and
- a cover comprising at least two different materials including two non-contacting metal foils, each of which cover an opposite face of said board-shaped core which is to be directed against the heat flow and at least two cover elements made of a heat-insulating material which connects said metal foils together.
A process for the manufacture of a heat-insulating board, comprising a core of heat-insulating material and a cover comprising at least two different materials, the steps comprising:
- (a) pressing the heat-insulating material to form a board composed of compacted heat-insulating inorganic material comprising 30 to 100% by weight of a finely particulate metal oxide, 0 to 50% by weight of an opacifier, and 0 to 20% by weight of a fibrous material;
- (b) covering each of the opposite faces of the board which are to be directed against the heat flow with a metal foil in such a manner that said foils do not contact one another;
- and
- (c) completing the board cover by affixing to said metal foils a material which inhibits heat flow.
