2. Owens Corning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owens_Corning

   In 1939, the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships made Owens-Corning insulation standard in new warship construction. Warship insulation, called Navy Board, was a permanent form-board insulation covered with woven continuous fiber cloth. Owens-Corning produced a prototype boat hull constructed of fiber glass-reinforced plastic in 1944. [11]

3. Foam glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_glass

   Foam glass with open pores absorbs sound and is used as a sound insulation material. Penetration loss can be around 28.3 dB in 60~400 Hz. Depending on the properties of the foam glass, it can be used as insulation material in various sectors of construction engineering, as well as in shipbuilding, chemical, cryogenic, and high-temperature ...

4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   It is made from the waste wool that the carpet and textile industries reject, and is available in both rolls and batts for both thermal and acoustic insulation of housing and commercial buildings. Wool is capable of absorbing as much as 40% of its own weight in condensation while remaining dry to the touch.

5. Glass fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fiber

   Bushings are the major expense in fiber glass production. The nozzle design is also critical. The number of nozzles ranges from 200 to 4000 in multiples of 200. The important part of the nozzle in continuous filament manufacture is the thickness of its walls in the exit region. It was found that inserting a counterbore here reduced wetting ...

6. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

   Owens joined with the Corning company in 1935 and the method was adapted by Owens Corning to produce its patented "Fiberglas" (spelled with one "s") in 1936. Originally, Fiberglas was a glass wool with fibers entrapping a great deal of gas, making it useful as an insulator, especially at high temperatures.

7. List of insulation materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_insulation_materials

   This is a list of insulation materials used around the world. Typical R-values are given for various materials and structures as approximations based on the average of available figures and are sorted by lowest value. R-value at 1 m gives R-values normalised to a 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) thickness and sorts by median value of the range.
