  2. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    At night the absence of heat (i.e. cold) is the exact same phenomenon, with the heat radiating described mathematically as the linear opposite. Radiant barriers prevent radiant heat transfer equally in both directions. However, heat flow to and from surfaces also occurs via convection, which in some geometries is different in different directions.

  3. Corrugated fiberboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_fiberboard

    Corrugated fiberboard, corrugated cardboard, or corrugated is a type of packaging material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards. [1] It is made on "flute lamination machines" or "corrugators" and is used for making corrugated boxes .

  4. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    The product must now be cooled, and this is usually achieved by pulling the extrudate through a water bath. Plastics are very good thermal insulators and are therefore difficult to cool quickly. Compared to steel, plastic conducts its heat away 2,000 times more slowly. In a tube or pipe extrusion line, a sealed water bath is acted upon by a ...

  5. Corrugated box design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_box_design

    Partial overlap box with interlocking slots to temporarily close box Corrugated plastic box used as reusable packaging. Corrugated box design is the process of matching design factors for corrugated fiberboard (sometimes called corrugated cardboard) or corrugated plastic boxes with the functional physical, processing and end-use requirements.

  6. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3]

  7. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

    Glass-reinforced plastics are also used to produce house building components such as roofing laminate, door surrounds, over-door canopies, window canopies and dormers, chimneys, coping systems, and heads with keystones and sills. The material's reduced weight and easier handling, compared to wood or metal, allows faster installation.

  8. Box-sealing tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-sealing_tape

    Box-sealing tape, parcel tape, packing tape, or shipping tape is a pressure-sensitive tape used for closing or sealing corrugated fiberboard boxes. It consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing material which is usually a polypropylene or polyester film which is oriented to have strength in both the long (machine) direction ...

  9. Thermal bag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_bag

    Thermally insulated bag with ice packs Example of a thermal bag Example of a thermal bag. A thermal bag is a type of thermally insulated shipping container in the form of a bag which can be carried, usually made of thermally insulating materials and sometimes a refrigerant gel.
