Abstract

The panel comprises an aerogel fibre composite 16 between fibre reinforced layers 12, 14. The composite is preferably hydrophobic. The fibre reinforced layers 12, 14 may be bonded to the core 16 with fire resistant glue. The reinforced layers 12, 14 preferably comprise woven or knitted glass or mineral fibre tissue, paper, or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The panels can be bonded to a building's wall or ceiling, preferably by means of an acrylic adhesive. Disclosed polyester fibre reinforced aerogels 16 include silica, alumina, similar metal oxides, carbon, resocinol formaldehyde resin, melamine formaldehyde resin, polyimide, polyurethane and polyisocyanurate.

Description

WALL LINER
The present invention relates to a wall liner and to a wall lining system for the internal thermal insulation of S buildings and other structures. The invention also relates to a wall lining having fireproof qualities and characteristics. As used herein the term wall includes also reference to ceilings.
With ever increasing fuel and energy costs there is a desire to reduce the impact caused by energy use in buildings and there is a continuous drive to improve the thermal efficiency of both old and new build buildings.
Older building constructions generally have poor thermal S...
efficiency and it is becoming increasingly difficult when **** refurbishing older properties to be compliant with building standards relating to thermal insulation and fire * .** protection.
One conventional method of improving the thermal efficiency of an older building is to increase the thickness of the thermal insulation. A significant drawback of this approach when using traditional thermal laminates is that room sizes are reduced for a given footprint area of building. In some cases retrofitting such insulation can reduce the size of a room to an unacceptable level. There is therefore a move towards "thin wall solutions". Such thin wall solutions have included a layer of polystyrene applied horizontally to a wall or other thin thermally insulating material. Existing thin wall solutions have had various drawbacks including their inability to provide adequate insulation; their inability to be fireproof; poor knock resistance i.e. easily damagable; and not being particularly suitable for receiving decorative layers such as wallpaper, and in particular for subsequent redecoration without affecting the integrity of the insulation layer.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a wall lining and wall lining system that avoids or at least
S

According to a first aspect the present invention provides *.SS : a wall liner panel comprising a first outwardly facing fibre reinforced layer and a second inwardly, wall facing, fibre reinforced layer, said first and second fibre reinforced layers being bonded to, and sandwiching, a layer of an aerogel fibre composite.
Monolithic aerogels are extremely low density materials (typically 0.1mg/cm3) which are a sponge like structure composed of a network of interconnected nano-particles.
They can be composed of a variety of materials including silica, alumina, metal oxides, organic and inorganic polymers and carbon. Monolithic aerogels are particularly good thermal insulating materials as they resist heat transfer, whether by convection, conduction or radiation, though a typical monolithic aerogel, such as a silica aerogel, is susceptible to damage in use as they are extremely brittle.
Recently aerogel fibre composite materials have been developed which substantially retain the thermal insulation properties of the aerogel whilst providing improved : mechanical properties due to the presence of the fibres in * *** * * ***.
the matrix. Aerogel fibre composites can be provided with * * * a selected degree of flexibility to provide an insulation layer that is more durable than a solid (monolithic) *.** aerogel layer, but still returns sufficient strength to resist compression (knock) damage.
Suitable aerogel fibre composites for a wall liner of the present invention are available from Aspen Aerogels Inc of Northborough MA, USA and their use in general for insulating purposes is described in WO 2006/091812. The preferred aerogel fibre composites for use in the wall liner of the present invention comprise a silica aerogel in a polyester fibre matrix. Various thicknesses of aerogel fibre composite are available and for use with the present invention the aerogel fibre composite layer will generally have a thickness in the range 2mm to 10mm, typically 3mm, 6mm or 9mm. Aerogel fibre composite layers of these thicknesses, or of other available thicknesses (for example 5mm or 10mm), may conveniently be employed for many applications but even thicker layers can be provided if required.
The aerogel fibre layer may comprise silica, alumina, or other metal oxides that have been modified by the incorporation of organic polymers. Highly crossed linked organic polymer systems can also be used to produce an *.** * S S...
appropriate aerogel component for use as the aerogel layer. *5S

Preferably the aerogel fibre composite is hydrophobic. A hydrophobic composite resists the ingress of moisture and thus makes the wall liner according to the present invention particularly suitable for use with buildings which suffer from condensation or dampness problems.
The fibre reinforced layers (first arid second) may comprise a glass or mineral fibre tissue or sheet which is bonded using, preferably, a fire resistant glue, to the front and back of the layer of aerogel fibre composite.
Such tissues or sheets have the form of a thin mat' of glass fibres or mineral fibres. Typically the fibres of the mat are held together with the assistance of a suitable polymer, which acts as bonding agent between the fibres.
Alternatively woven or knitted fibre sheets may be employed in one or both of the fibre reinforced layers.
Alternatively the fibre-reinforced layers may take the form of a fibre reinforced composite layer wherein fibres, for i.. . * S example glass or mineral fibres, reinforce a sheet of for example a polymer material. The fibres may be embedded in the sheet material. The fibre reinforced layers may further comprise additional materials acting as fillers or other layers of sheet material.
Other fibre reinforcing may be employed. For example the fibre reinforced layer may take the form of a paper sheet which may, for example, be of cellulose fibres.
The fibre reinforced layers serve to protect the aerogel fibre composite from impact damage and give resistance to tearing. They provide suitable surfaces for use of the wall liner. The first outwardly facing fibre reinforced layer can accept a lining paper, a wallpaper or in some cases may be capable of being painted directly. The second, inwardly, wall facing, fibre reinforced layer be bonded to a wall or ceiling surface. Thus the wall liner of the invention allows normal decorative finishes to be applied to a lined wall or ceiling surface. The fibre reinforced layer can also protect the aerogel fibre composite layer from damage during removal of a wallpaper layer when redecoration is being carried out.
The fibre reinforced layers may have weights in the range : of from 2Ogsm to lOOgsm, typically 42gsm.

Conveniently the type and weight of fibre reinforced layer employed is the same on both sides of the wall liner panel. * S I
This can allow the liner to be reversible, either side of the liner can be used as the layer which is bonded to a wall or ceiling in use.
Alternatively, if desired, different weights or types of fibre reinforced layer may be employed as the first and second fibre reinforced layers. For example, the first, outwardly facing, layer is a glass fibre tissue having a weight in the range of from 2ogsm to 3Ogsm, typically 25gsm and the second, inwardly facing layer is also a glass fibre tissue having a weight in the range of 4Ogsm to 6ogsm, typically Sogsm.
Preferably the fibre reinforced layers are bonded to the layer of aerogel fibre composite using a fire resistant glue or adhesive.
Preferably the wall liner according to the present invention is supplied in the form of a rectangular panel which can be secured to the face of a wall in use of the wall liner.

These overlaps are bonded, by gluing, directly to the face of the abutting adjacent wall liner panel to form a continuous surface without visible joints and this arrangement further improves the insulation and fire resistant characteristics and qualities of the wall liner.
Thus and according to a second aspect the present invention provides a wall lining system, which system comprises a plurality of wall liners, said wall liners comprising a first outwardly wall facing fibre reinforced layer and a second inwardly facing fibre reinforced layer, said first and second fibre reinforced layers being bonded to and sandwiching a layer of aerogel fibre composite, said wall liner panels being bonded to a wall or ceiling in use of *:::: the wall lining system. * S.. * * S...
Thus with a wall liner and wall liner system according to the present invention it is possible to insulate a wall with a high degree of insulation without impacting upon the space within the room in use of the system.
Preferably there is provided a lining sheet, typically a lining paper which can be applied, by bonding, to the surface of the outwardly facing fibre reinforced layer, said lining paper being formed and arranged for receiving a decorative coating, e.g. a paint, or a wallpaper.
Preferably the wall liner panels are bonded to a wall, typically a plaster or plasterboard wall using an acrylic resin based adhesive formed and arranged for bonding fibre -9.-laminated polymeric sheets thereto. An adhesive suitable for use is Apollo Chemical Limited' s product number A6805 -roof deck adhesive (acrylic resin). The bonding adhesive for use in bonding the fibre reinforced layers to the aerogel fibre layer is a sprayable laminating adhesive of the type manufactured by Apollo Chemicals Limited under their product number A7625.

A wall liner according to the present invention is shown in section in Figure 1 and is generally indicated by reference number 10. The wall liner has a first surface 12 which faces away from a wall in use of the wall liner, the first surface being a fibre reinforced layer, in this case a glass fibre tissue. A second fibre reinforced layer 14, again a glass tissue, is provided which is wall facing and both the layers 12, 14 are bonded to and sandwich a layer of an aerogel fibre composite 16 to provide a laminated panel.
In this example the wall facing side 14 of the wall liner panel 10 is a 5ogsm layer of glass tissue and the room S...
*:::: facing side 12 is a 2sgsm glass tissue. Both layers are bonded to the aerogel layer 16 which, in this embodiment, has a thickness of 6mm, by a layer of fire resistant adhesive glue. Alternatively both sides 12,14 of the wall liner panel 10 may be of the same weight of glass tissue.
Turning now to figure 2 and the wall liner panel 10 shown therein, the top 18 and right 20 hand sides of the panel are provided with a 50mm overhang 22 to the room facing side 12 of the fibre reinforced layer so that, in use, when a plurality of wall liner panels are mounted to a wall in a brick bond pattern, the overlap can be glued to an adjacent abutting panel to form a continuous surface without visible joints.
