Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the manufacture of insulation materials and to an insulation material made by the process and relates particularly but not exclusively to insulation materials and methods and apparatus for their manufacture manufactured from a combination of shredded and defibrillated fibrous cellulosic materials preferably in the form of a batt.
- cellulosic materials are well known and it is known that such materials may be used in insulation materials. Advantages of using such materials in insulation materials are that waste materials such as, newspaper, can be removed from the waste stream and recycled to form a useful product. Disadvantages of using cellulosic materials on insulation materials are that the materials must be treated to make them fire retardant and preferably insect, vermin and decay resistant. It is known to treat cellulosic materials such as wastepaper with fire retardant compounds such as, borax. Such compounds are hygroscopic and cellulosic materials treated with such compounds are non-resilient and subject to degradation.
- Mineral fibre insulation materials are brittle by nature and tend to degrade and break down if subjected to mechanical stresses releasing fine mineral particles into the environment which pose an unknown health risk. There is therefore a need to replace mineral fibre insulation materials with insulation materials which are less likely to be hazardous to health.
- British patent 1359996 discloses an insulation material comprising a sandwich of shredded paper between two outer facing sheets of paper suitably treated with fire retardant materials such as ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium sulphate. At least one of the facing sheets is perforated.
- the outer facing sheets may be bonded to the shredded paper by spraying the shredded paper with a suitable bonding agent or adhesive prior to covering with the facing sheets. Pressure may be applied to the sandwich configuration to assist with the bonding of the shredded paper to the outer facing sheets.
- the material is specifically identified as an insulation material primarily designed as an acoustic insulation material with some thermal insulation properties.
- the product may be stored in rolls or cut into insulation batts of convenient size.
- Australian patent Nos. 527843 and 540132 disclose a method of forming a batt . of bonded synthetic and wool fibres in which the mixture of fibres is ragged, teased or otherwise deferred to form a sliver of randomly dispersed fibres. The sliver is then passed through a lapping machine to form a mat of desired thickness. The mat is then sprayed with a mixture of fireproofing resins, smoke retardants and pesticides cured and if desired cut into batts of appropriate configuration.
- the present invention seeks to overcome problems with prior art batts or insulation materials and to provide a safe and effective insulation material and to provide methods and apparatus for producing such batts or insulation materials.
- the present invention also seeks to provide a method of manufacture of a fibrous cellulosic insulating material which by varying the density of the cellulosic material can be manufactured in varying degrees of rigidity and fire, weather and rot resistant. It is an object of the invention also to provide a fibrous cellulosic insulating material having the above properties.
- the present invention therefore, provides in one form a method of manufacturing an open fibrous cellulosic insulating material which comprises providing a shredded fibrous cellulosic material, coating said shredded material with a rigid or non- rigid binder to form a coated shredded material, introducing a defibrillated cellulosic material on and into said coated shredded material to provide a filled shredded material and compressing and curing said filled shredded material to cause said binder to bind the material to form said fibrous cellulosic insulating material.
- the binder comprises a thermosetting resinous material which additionally contains fungicidal, insecticidal and/or fire retardant chemicals.
- the binder is applied to the shredded material by means of spraying.
- additional binder is applied to the filled shredded material prior to compression and curing.
- the shredded material is carded or combed prior to the application of the binder to provide a loose evenly formed bed of material to allow ease of introduction of the defibrillated material.
- the binder includes a cross linked thermosetting flexible polymeric material with elastic memory to provide the fibrous cellulosic insulating material with properties of resiliency and flexibility.
- Suitable polymeric materials for inclusion in the binder are polymers, copolymers, modified polymers, acrylics, modified acrylics, P.V.A.'s, urea formaldehyde resin, phenol formaldehyde, resorcinoi formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde and urethanes.
- the polymeric materials may be employed with thickeners, as is known in the art such as cellulosic thickeners (carboxy methyl cellulose, hydroxy ethyl cellulose, hydroxy methyl cellulose including any combinations thereof) caseins, flour and cornflour.
- the fire retardant chemicals may be chosen from any of the known fire retardant chemicals and preferably are selected from highly hydrated inorganic chemicals such as borax, hydrated alumina and the like.
- fire retardant materials which may be used alone or in combination are calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, calcium silicate, aluminium trihydrate, boric acid, borax, ammonium phosphates, poly ammonium phosphates, aluminium potassium sulphate, magnesium chloride, magnesium phosphate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, metaborates, chlorinated acrylics; and chlorinated wax.
- a suitable biocide, insecticide or rodenticide of low toxicity and safe to the consumer and the environment is preferably inco ⁇ orated into the formula.
- the biocide and the insecticide must be compatible with the binder formula.
- Preferred fungicidal, insecticidal and bactericidal material is Thiocyanomethy! benzathiazoie, Kathon, Densil, Metaborates, Pyrethroids, Borax and other Boron compounds.
- the fungicidal and bactericidal chemicals should of course be substantially stable at the temperature of curing of the process which is of the order of 150°C depending on the particular binder material used.
- the above binders must also be compatible with and/or preferably synergistic with the dry fire retardant incorporated during the manufacture of the defibrillated cellulosic material.
- the dry fire retardant is necessary as in grinding or milling paper or other cellulosic material the resulting dust can create an explosive mixture with air therefore it is a safety requirement to incorporate a fire retardant during the manufacture of the defibrillated cellulosic material.
- the dry fire retardant may be selected from the following materials for example:-
- Ammonium phosphates polyammonium phosphates, barium metaborate, chlorinated wax, aluminium trihydrate, borax, boric acid, calcium carbonate, magnesium chloride, magnesium phosphate, barium metaborate, barium sulphide, barium phosphate, antimony oxychioride, antimony trioxide, calcium sulphate, calcium silicate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, aluminium potassium sulphate, or any combination of the above.
- Particularly preferred fire retardants are:- Ammonium phosphates, aluminium trihydrate, ammonium phosphate, chlorinated wax, borax, barium metaborate, polyammonium phosphate and magnesium chloride.
- the material prior to compression and curing is preferably evenly distributed by way of spiked combing rollers and combs between scrim material and passed to the compression step for compression to about 50% of its original height whilst curing.
- the compressed material may be cut into batts for roof or wall insulation or blanket, or into strips for wrapping around air conditioning ducts for example.
- the batts may be formed having a thickness of 100 mm for example.
- the batts so prepared have equivalent or better thermal insulation properties to fibre glass batts of similar thickness, have better tear strength and do not have the environmental and safety problems of fibre glass batts.
- the strips may be formed with thicknesses of between 25mm to 100mm of varying densities to provide the required thermal resistance for any particular purpose for example 25mm strips with corresponding or better thermal insulation properties to fibre glass the flexibility and resilience of the material permits the strips to be wound around.
- the shredded fibrous cellulosic material is shredded waste paper.
- Other cellulosic or cellulose-like materials which can be used are shredded straw from wheat, rice, etc., shredded wood shavings.
- the defibrillated cellulosic material is defibrillated paper or cardboard waste which has been treated in, e.g. a hammer mill to reduce the material to a finely divided fluffy material.
- other cellulosic or cellulose-like materials as are indicated above may be utilized to form the defibrillated material.
- other cellulosic or cellulose-like materials which could be utilized are waste natural fibre materials or textile materials. There is no necessity for any de-inking or similar treatment of the waste cellulosic materials prior to incorporation into a product or prior to performing the method of the invention.
- the product contains shredded and defibrillated cellulosic material in a weight ratio of approximately 20:80.
- Binder is preferably added to the material in the range of from 5 to 25 parts by weight (most preferably from 10 to 20 parts by weight) of the combined cellulosic materials.
- the present invention also provides in one form, apparatus for manufacturing an insulation material which comprises apparatus for the manufacture of sandwich cellulosic insulation material which includes means to form a mat of evenly distributed shredded cellulosic material, means to introduce defibrillated cellulosic material into the shredded cellulosic material, means to provide a cover sheet of cellulosic material to each face of the mat, means to introduce a bonding material to the shredded cellulosic material and to the cover sheets to permit the shredded cellulosic materials and the cover sheets to be bonded together to form a bonded insulation material.

- the spreader 12 comprises a series of chains 28 which spread out from the exit of the shredder 11 to the width of the conveyor 13. As the chains 28 spread apart they are interspersed with additional chains 29, 30 to maintain adequate support for the spread teased shredded material.
- Each of the chains is provided with spikes 34 which are, for example between 75mm and 140mm high or could be all the same height. The preferred height is 110mm.
- Each link of the chains could be fitted with this spike or only one in every 20 links.
- the preferred number is one in every five links.
- the spiked chains become further apart as the chain moves away from the shredder, this teased and spreads the shredded paper to the full width of the spreader.
- the shredded, sprayed material then passes past the two DM feeders 14 where cellulose fluff is injected into the sprayed shredded material.
- the fluff is pre-ground or milled and blown, via blowers into the troughs 29.
- These troughs have a series of dado blades 30 set at angles of approx. 60 degrees in each direction about axis 31 , left of centre, sloping to the left and to the right of centre, sloping to the right (as shown in Fig. 2).
