INSULATION PRODUCT HAVING BICOMPONENT FIBER FACING LAYER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

An insulation product (50) has an insulation sheet (10) containing randomly oriented fibers bonded together. The sheet (10) has first and second major surfaces (11, 12) and a pair of side portions (14, 15). A nonwoven facing layer (13) is bonded to at least one of the major surfaces (11, 12). The nonwoven facing layer (13) comprises randomly oriented bicomponent fibers, each of the bicomponent fibers including first component and second component portions. The nonwoven facing layer (13) is bonded to the at least one major surface (11, 12) at least in part by a meltbond between the first component portion of the bicomponent fibers and the randomly oriented fibers in the insulation sheet (10).
