Estimating the term…
Fibrous insulation suitable for use in insulation cavities in buildings includes mineral fibers in an amount within the range of from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight, and organic material, in the form of organic fibers and organic particles, in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight. The mineral fibers and the organic material are integrated together so that the organic material is distributed generally uniformly among the mineral fibers. At least a majority, or about 50 percent by weight and, more preferably, a substantial amount, or about 75 percent by weight, of the organic material is in the form of organic fibers. The fibrous insulation is preferably binderless and encapsulated.
Fibrous insulation suitable for use in insulation cavities in buildings, the fibrous insulation being comprised of mineral fibers in an amount within the range of from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight, and organic material, in the form of organic fibers and organic particles, in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight, with the mineral fibers and the organic material being integrated together so that the organic material is distributed generally uniformly among the mineral fibers, with at least about 50 percent by weight of the organic material being in the form of organic fibers, and with the fibrous insulation being binderless.
A binderless fibrous insulation suitable for use in insulation cavities in buildings, the fibrous insulation being comprised of mineral fibers, and organic material, in the form of organic fibers and organic particles, distributed generally uniformly among the mineral fibers, said organic material being present in the fibrous insulation in an amount less than about 5 percent by weight of the fibrous insulation, with at least about 50 percent by weight of the organic material being in the form of organic fibers.
In combination, a building structure having insulation cavities, and fibrous insulation positioned within those cavities to insulate the building, wherein the fibrous insulation is comprised of mineral fibers in an amount within the range of from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight, and organic material, in the form of organic fibers and organic particles, in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight, and with at least about 50 percent by weight of the organic material being in the form of organic fibers.
