Filed:

May 1, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/136008

Inventors:

Kevin J. Gallagher - Plymouth Meeting PA, US
Christophe J. Wagner - Athens GA, US
Claire Calero - Erquery, FR
Daniel Lacaute - Orry la Ville, FR

Assignee:

CertainTeed Corporation - Valley Forge PA

International Classification:

C09K003/22

US Classification:

252 881, 252 882

Abstract:

The present invention serves to substantially improve the dust capture property of dedusting oils, by modifying these oils with nonionic and/or cationic surfactants. The application of surfactant modified oils reduces dust that is generated when loose-fill insulation is installed.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to silicone-coated mineral wool insulation materials, methods for making them using specific coating methods, and methods for using them. One aspect of the disclosure is a method for making a silicone-coated mineral wool, the method comprising: providing a mineral wool comprising a collection of mineral wool fibers; applying to the mineral wool a solvent-borne coating composition comprising a silicone, the silicone of the coating composition having a number-average molecular weight of at least 25 kDa; and allowing the solvent to evaporate to provide silicone-coated mineral wool.

International Classification:

D21H 19/12

Abstract:

Certain embodiments described herein are directed articles that include a cellulosic substrate (or a non-cellulosic substrate) and an aqueous dispersion disposed on the substrate. In certain examples, the dispersion is effective to provide a water vapor perm rating of about 2 perms or less at 25% average RH as tested by ASTM D1653, or about 2 perm or less at 25% average RH as tested by ASTM E96, when the dispersion is cured as a coating on the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate can be (or can be part of) a building substrate such as, for example, kraft paper placed on insulation (e.g., fiberglass insulation) or oriented strand board. In some instances, the aqueous dispersion can include a plant oil macromonomer or a waterborne epoxy resin.
