Definitions

• Insulation system for covering a facade of a building
• the invention relates to an insulation system for covering a facade of a building consisting of at least one insulation element, at least one mechanical fastener, which fastener fixes the insulation element to the facade of the building, and a rendering system being arranged on the outer surface of the insulation element.
• Said systems also being known as External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).
• the insulation element has at least a first and a second layer being connected to each other, whereby the first layer being directed to the facade having a bulk density being lower than the bulk density of the second layer and whereby at least one layer is made of mineral fibres, especially stone wool fibres and a binding agent, or of cellular plastic, especially expanded polystyrene (EPS).
• EPS expanded polystyrene
• Such insulation systems are well-known in the prior art.
• mineral fibre insulating products comprising an insulation layer and a rigid surface coating or layer on at least the one main surface of the product eventually facing the exterior of the insulated construction.
• Different insulation materials are known in the prior art as for example fibrous materials made of inorganic and/or organic fibres normally bound with a binding agent.
• DE 20 2009 001 532 U1 discloses a dual density facade insulation board having a soft inner layer which absorbs unevenness of the substrate and a hard outer layer forming the main layer and having a bulk density between 180 and 280 kg/m 3 on which a layer of render can be arranged.
• the soft inner layer has a bulk density between 30 and 80 kg/m 3 .
• Both layers can be made from wood fibres or mineral fibres.
• Such insulation boards have several disadvantages. If these boards are made of wood fibres they naturally have a very low fire resistance unless high amounts of flame retardants are used. Moreover their thermal properties are quite poor and the durability will be significantly reduced when being exposed to moisture. The fire resistance of such boards being made from mineral fibres is much better.
• a layer of mineral fibres with a bulk density of between 180 and 280 kg/m 3 provides only low thermal resistance.
• To achieve sufficient thermal resistances with these layers it is necessary to use layers of great thickness.
• To use thick layers has the disadvantage that the weight of such insulation boards is high so that a lot of mechanical fasteners are necessary to fix these insulation boards onto the facade.
• To use insulation boards with high thicknesses together with a big amount of mechanical fasteners increases the price of such insulation systems namely the costs for the material and for the labour.
• high density mineral fibre boards are known to provide very poor receptiveness for a rendering system which is why several attempts have been made in prior art as to improve the receptiveness by applying different surface primer, coatings and/or additives to the surface of the insulation elements.
• DE 296 169 64 U1 or DE 32 48 663 C As an example reference is made to DE 296 169 64 U1 or DE 32 48 663 C.
• this object is achieved with an insulation system for covering a facade of a building using an insulation element having a third layer made of mineral fibres and a binding agent, which third layer has a bulk density being higher than the bulk density of the second layer and which third layer forming the outer layer has a high receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system without using any surface primer, coating and/or additive.
• Such high receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system results in an high bond strength between the base coat of the rendering and the insulation element.
• the insulation element being used in an insulation system according to the invention has therefore three layers whereby the outer layer has in comparison to the two further layers the highest bulk density so that this third layer is very durable.
• the second layer which has in comparison to the third layer a reduced bulk density has good insulation characteristics and can be made with a bulk density achieving these good insulation characteristics.
• the first layer being the layer which is in contact with the building has a low bulk density so that this layer can absorb unevenness of the surface of the building substrate. Therefore, the first layer being made flexible is able to handle unevenness in the building surface of up to 15 to 20 mm, depending on the thickness of this layer.
• the third layer has a high receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system without using any surface primer, coating and/or an additive.
• Such higher receptiveness is caused by a specific homogeneity of said layer which causes beneficial adhesion properties.
• Homogeneity respectively the homogeneity of a layer, in particular the third layer of the insulation system in the sense of this invention results in a specific consistency of properties throughout said layer and is based on an even distribution of the constituents, like e.g. the mineral fibres and a binding agent. A more detailed verification of the specific homogeneity is given further down in the description.
• Mainly the beneficial adhesion properties of the third layer relate for example to lack of loose fibres and/or dust on the surface and/or concentration variations in the oil/binder distribution and/or the fibre bulk.
• the binder distribution and the fibres orientation are two main factors involved in the adhesion.
• the binder is distributed evenly in the product to avoid spots where the fibres would be more loosely attached to each other and could be easily pulled off the layer.
• Fibre pull out measured by a simple test where equal sizes of tape are weighed before and after being adhered to the wool shows that the amount of fibres pulled out measured by weight is only one third on the third layer compared to normal stone wool of the same density. For example the mass of loose fibres/dust collected on the surface of the third layer per m 2 only amounts to between 25 and 55 g/m 2 .
• a further aspect of achieving a higher receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system is based on the time for complete wetting of the layers.
• the wetting dynamics is altered by the addition of oil.
• Lower oil content and an iso- structural fibre orientation ensures a uniform and low wetting time.
• the wetting time is half the wetting time of a traditionally made mineral wool/stone wool product made by traditional production.
• a homogeneous distribution in binder and oil throughout the surface of the third layer is of advantage. This homogeneous distribution in binder and oil gives fibres a better adhesion. Therefore, the amount of binder and oil can influence not only the wetting behavior but also the cohesion between the fibres in the third layer.
• the third layer has a uniformly distribution of the binder throughout the surface.
• the adhesion strength of the layer reaches 0,19 to 0,22 kN for the third layer of the insulation element.
• a dry binder should be used for the third layer having a much more uniform distribution than a wet binder used for conventional layers made of mineral fibres and the binding agent. The reason is more precise control of the process bringing in the binder into the third layer.
• Crosslinking of the fibres exhibits a higher friction force between the fibres and are able to trap the render of the rendering system and to retain the render. Furthermore, the crosslinking reduces loose fibres which increases the adhesion.
• Last but not least the fibre orientation of the third layer is a main aspect for the high receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system. A better adhesion is dependent on a homogeneus fibre orientation or crosslinking.
• the wool structure or fibre orientation of the main surface of the outer layer of a product according to the invention has been investigated in more details. As a result of these investigations a clear difference in the fibre orientation between a usual product produced by a traditional process and a product according to the invention can be ascertained.
• the wool structure of the third layer is iso-structural in the xy-plane with fibres along the x- and the y-directions, which gives a strong network, i.e. a high cohesion and/or friction between fibres of the network.
• prior art products have a preferred fibre orientation which will result in specifically varying properties along e.g. the x- and y- directions
• Fig. 6 and 7 show histograms of a third layer according to the invention in Fig. 6 and a usual layer made of mineral fibres and binding agent in Fig. 7. These histograms are a result of a computational analysis of the scanned images of the product surface which have been treated by an image processing package, called Fiji. The fibre orientation has then been investigated by a plug in of Fiji, called Directionality.
• Both figures show the direction of the fibres in two directions of the layer perpendicular to each other and/or the values 90° and -90° for both directions.
• the two angles representing the same direction and indicating that the fibres are distributed in a (xy) plane (x-axis being along the length of the sample and y-axis being along the width of the sample).
• the third layer presents no major peaks, but peaks for all the angles from - 90° to 90°. This indicates that the fibres have no preferential direction, but are evenly distributed in the product.
• the homogeneity of the fibre orientation in the third layer is a result of the manufacturing of the third layer.Therefore the fibres are not pulled out of the surface during the application of the render because of the high friction between the fibres and their crosslinking.
• All in all the third layer in an insulation system according to the invention in particular has a wool structure which is iso-structural in the xy-plane with fibres along the x- and the y- directions providing a strong network.
• the high receptiveness and/or adhesion for the rendering system is therefore based especially on a lower oil content resulting in a better penetration of the liquid of the render into the surface and therefore a lower wetting time and on the wool structure having a lower fibre pull-out value of for example between 25 to 55 g/m 2 , more often between 35 and 45 g/m 2 .
• the bond strength between the third layer and the rendering layer amounts to between 0,010 N/mm 2 and 0,080 N/mm 2 , especially between 0,010 N/mm 2 and 0,030 N/mm 2 , preferably between 0,015 N/mm 2 and 0,025 N/mm 2 , for example 0,020 N/mm 2 .
• the insulation system according to the present invention having the before mentioned bond strength has moreover a high stability without using a big number of mechanical fasteners even if the insulation elements are only fixed by these mechanical fasteners without gluing the insulation onto the facade. This is achieved by a three-layered insulation element having special synchronized densities of the different layers which will be very advantageous while fixing it to the facade.
• the first layer which can be very slim in thickness compared to the other two layers and which of course has good insulation characteristics because of its low bulk density is able to equalize projections in the surface of the building facade.
• the bond strength between the layer of render, especially a base coat which is part of the layer of render respectively the rendering system, and the insulation element is measured in accordance with the Guideline for European Technical Approval ETAG No. 004 (e.g. edition 03/2000), paragraph 5.1.4.1.1.
• the results are expressed in N/mm 2 (MPa).
• the third layer has a bulk density of 190 kg/m 3 to 390 kg/m 3 , especially of 250 kg/m 3 to 320 kg/m 3 .
• At least the third layer is made of mineral fibres in an amount of 90 to 99 wt % of the total weight of starting materials in the form of a collected web and a binding agent in an amount of 1 to 10 wt % of the total weight of starting materials, whereby the collected web of mineral fibres is subjected to a disentanglement process, whereby the mineral fibres are suspended in a primary air flow, whereby the mineral fibres are mixed with the binding agent before, during or after the disentanglement process to form a mixture of mineral fibres and binding agent and whereby the mixture of mineral fibres and binding agent is pressed and cured to provide a consolidated composite with a bulk density of 190 kg/m 3 to 390 kg/m 3 , especially of 250 kg/m 3 to 320 kg/m 3 .
• the percentages mentioned are based on dry weight of starting materials.
• a surprisingly homogenous layer of mineral fibres and a binding agent is achieved. Therefore the quality of the curing is significantly improved and uncured binder spots causing well known discouloration or so called brown spots on the rendering system are eliminated.
• Such layers can be produced in a versatile and cost efficient method. By adjusting the density to which the layer is pressed, a variety of different layers can be tailor-made for specific purposes. Therefore, these layers have a variety of uses, predominantly as building elements.
• the layers can be in the form of panels.
• the layers are used in applications where mechanical stability and uneven surface finish as well as insulating properties are important.
• the layers can be used as acoustically absorbing ceiling or wall panels.
• the layers can be used as insulating outer cladding for buildings.
• the precise quantity of mineral fibres is chosen so as to maintain appropriate fire resistance properties and appropriate thermal and/or acoustic insulation value and limiting cost, whilst maintaining an appropriate level of cohesion, depending on the appropriate application.
• a high quantity of fibres increases the fire resistance of the element, increases its acoustic and thermal insulation properties and limits cost, but decreases the cohesion in the element. This means that the lower limit of 90 wt % results in an element having good cohesion and strength, and only adequate insulation properties and fire resistance, which may be advantageous for some composites, where insulation properties and fire resistance are less important. If insulation properties and fire resistance are particularly important the amount of fibres can be increased to the upper limit of 99 wt %, but this will result in only adequate cohesion properties.
• a suitable composition will include a fibre amount of from 90 to 97 wt % or from 91 to 95 wt %. Most usually, a suitable quantity of fibres will be from 92 to 94 wt %.
• the amount of binder is also chosen on the basis of desired cohesion, strength and cost, plus properties such as reaction to fire and thermal insulation value.
• the low limit of 1 wt % results in a layer with a lower strength and cohesion, which is however adequate for some applications and has the benefit of relatively low cost and potential for good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
• a higher amount of binder should be used, such as up to the upper limit of 10 wt %, but this will increase the cost for the resulting product and further the reaction to fire will often be less favorable, depending on the choice of binder.
• a suitable layer will include a binder amount from 3 to 10 wt % or from 5 to 9 wt %, most usually a suitable quantity of binder will be from 6 to 8 wt %.
• the mineral fibres used for such a layer could be any mineral fibres, including glass fibres, ceramic fibres or stone fibres but preferably stone fibres are used.
• Stone wool fibres generally have a content of iron oxide of at least 3 % and alkaline earth metals (calcium oxide and magnesium oxide) from 10 to 40 %, along with the other usual oxide constituents of mineral wool. These are silica; alumina; alkali-metals (sodium oxide and potassium oxide) which are usually present in low amounts; and can also include titania and other minor oxides.
• Fibre diameter is often in the range 3 to 20 microns, in particular 5 to 10 microns, as conventional.
• An alternative third layer used in an insulation system according to the present invention is made of mineral fibres in an amount of from 24 to 80 wt % of the total weight of starting materials in the form of a collected web, an aerogel particulate material in an amount of from 10 to 75 wt % of the total weight of the starting materials and a binding agent in an amount of from 1 to 30 wt % to the total weight of starting materials, whereby the mineral fibres are suspended in the primary air flow, whereby the aerogel particulate material is suspended in the primary air flow, whereby mixing the aerogel particulate with the suspended mineral fibres, whereby the mineral fibres are mixed with the binding agent before, during or after the mixing of the aerogel particulate material with the mineral fibres to form a mixture of mineral fibres, aerogel particulate material and binding agent and whereby the mixture of mineral fibres, aerogel particulate material and binding agent is pressed and cured to provide a consolidated composite with a bulk density of 190 kg/m 3 to 390 kg/m 3 ,
• the binding agent of the third layer is a dry binder, especially a powdery binder, e.g. phenol formaldehyde binder, phenol urea formaldehyde binder, melamine formaldehyde binder, condensation resins, acrylates and/or other latex compositions, epoxy polymers, sodium silicate, hotmelts of polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene and/or polytetrafluorethylene polymers.
• a dry binder preferably a phenol formaldehyde binder, as this type of binder is easily available and has proved efficient, has the advantage that mixing is easy and furthermore the need for maintenance of the equipment is low. Finally such binder is relatively stable and storable.
• Such a layer can be manufactured in a very versatile and cost efficient way.
• a wide range of properties in terms of e.g. mechanical strength, thermal insulation capability etc. can be produced by altering the quantity of each component. This means that a variety of different layers can be made that are tailor-made for specific purposes.
• the mixing process involves physical contact of, for example a stirrer with the fibres
• the fibres tend to form compact balls, which the aerogel particulate material cannot penetrate easily.
• the result of this can be that, in cases where the mixing process involves physical contact, the final product contains areas where the aerogel and the fibres are visibly separated in distinct zones.
• the layers have a variety of uses as it is described above standing.
• Aerogel when used in the broader sense means a gel with air as the dispersion medium.
• three types of aerogel which are classified according to the conditions under which they have been dried. These materials are known to have excellent insulating properties owing to their very high surface areas, and high porosity. They are manufactured by gelling a flowable sole gel-solution and then removing the liquid from the gel in a manner that does not destroy the pores of the gel.
• the first layer of the insulation element is made of mineral fibres, especially stone wool fibres and a binding agent, which first layer has a bulk density of from 30 kg/m 3 to 55 kg/m 3 , especially of 45 kg/m 3 .
• Such a first layer has a high flexibility and is bendable so that such a first layer can equalize higher protrusions in the surface of the facade, such as wires being fixed outside of the building as it is known in connection with satellite antennas etc.
• the second layer of the insulation element has a bulk density of from from 60 kg/m 3 to 85 kg/m 3 , especially of 75 kg/m 3 .
• Such second layer being preferably made of mineral fibres, especially stone wool fibres has excellent insulation characteristics. Therefore, to achieve good insulation characteristics of the building the thickness of such layer can nowadays be in a range of up to 100 mm.
• the total weight of an insulation element using such a second layer is so low that the insulation element can be fixed without gluing but only with mechanical fasteners.
• the mechanical fastener has a screw-like shaft and a plug and/or a plug-plate which plug and/or plug-plate is arranged in the third layer of the insulation element in that the plug and/or plug-plate is flush with the outer surface of the third layer of the insulation element.
• the third layer of the insulation needs the before mentioned bulk density so that the plug and/or plug-plate can be arranged flush with the outer surface of the third layer.
• This arrangement has the big advantage that the rendering system can be provided with a low thickness because the plug and/or plug-plate has not to be embedded into the layer of render, i.e. the base coat and no pre-priming of the plug-plate is required.
• the insulation element is fixed to the facade only by at least one mechanical fastener per square meter of the insulation element.
• the mechanical fasteners has the advantage that the cost for the material and the cost for the labour used to build up such an insulation system is decreased.
• the rendering system is a multi-layer coat system containing at least a base coat and a finishing coat. Moreover a reinforcement mesh may be embedded in the base coat.
• the before described insulation system provides in comparison to the prior art a faster installation time, an improved reliability by reduction of defects and errors, good insulation characteristics and thus an enhanced comfort and improved indoor climate. Moreover a lower system price and a shorter site time. Furthermore, this insulation system according to the present invention has an increased receptiveness for mortar.
