Abstract
A flexible reflective insulating structure includes a layer of flexible fiber-based material, and a flexible metallic layer having a first surface of emissivity less than 0.1. The metallic layer is attached to the layer of fiber-based material with its first surface facing towards the layer of fiber-based material. The fiber-based material is preferably attached to the metallic layer in a manner such that the emissivity of at least about 85% of the first surface, and preferably at least about 95% and most preferably at least about 97% is substantially unaffected.
Claims24
A flexible reflective insulating structure comprising:
- (a) a layer of substantially non-dust-generating, flexible fiber-based material;
- and
- (b) a flexible metallic layer having a first surface of emissivity less than 0.1, said metallic layer being attached by adhesive to said layer of fiber-based material with said first surface facing towards said layer of fiber-based material, said adhesive being present on less than about 15% of said first surface such that said emissivity of at least about 85% of said first surface is substantially unaffected,
- wherein said layer of fiber-based material exhibits a reduced density of fibers in a region adjacent to said metallic layer relative to an average density of fibers in said fiber-based material.
