Abstract

A thermally and acoustically insulating product is described which is used in the construction of ventilated facades. This product consists of a mineral-fibre felt (1) whose outer surface (2) comprises a porous coating based on a polymerised substance (3) which is UV-stable, impervious to surface water and permeable to gases and to vapours. <IMAGE>

Description

A HEAT AND SOUND INSULATING PRODUCT, ITS USE AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCK A PRODUCT.
The subject of the invention is a mineral wool-based felt, in particular a glass wool-based felt intended for heat and sound insulation of walls from the exterior, behind attached curtain walls.
The exterior insulation of walls is currently achieved by means of panels or rolls which are stuck or mechanically fixed to the brick io wall or concrete wall or which may even be tied or spiked onto the framework of a curtain wall, the panels or rolls then being masked by an attached curtain wall which is preferably situated at a given distance from the insulating material in order to ensure satisfactory ventilation which avoids the risks of condensation of steam and the damage which such condensation might produce.
This method is very advantageous in particular by virtue of the variety of types of2o curtain walls possible (fibre-cement panels, slates, tiles, facing bricks, timber facings, metal or PVC cover joints, etc.) and the possibility of working on new or old buildings.
For such use, the mineral wool-based ? 5 insulating products are particularly advantageous by virtue of their light weight, their high 252M-AJ( 6421 7 mechanical strength and above all the quality of the heat and sound insulation which they provide owing in particular to their elasticity and their porosity. These products are typically produced from mineral fibres which are held together by an organic binder (a phenol-formaldehyde resin of the resol type, modified or not with urea, for example). The binder is sprayed in the form of an aqueous size when the fibres are received and the 10 mat of sized fibres is then conveyed into an oven in which the binder is polymerised, and the felt which is thus produced has for this range of applications a density of, for example, between 10 and 40 kg/m3, the resultant product being produced in the form of panels or rolls.
It will be appreciated that exterior insulation is faced with the problem of bad weather during application on building sites, the final facing which provides the external 2o protection generally only being fitted after the insulation is completed. In order to overcome this problem, it is known to line the felt with a sheet of glass which improves mechanical strength and which protects the insulating material from bad weather. However, this protection is only temporary (lasting at most a few weeks) and it is therefore satisfactory only if the work on the site is carried out at a normal rate.
In practice however, numerous work sites are left as they are for very long periods, frequently 3 to 6 months, for reasons of a technical nature or sometimes simply owing to a breakdown in supplies of surfacing materials. The felt which has thus been placed on the facades is therefore exposed to the free air for a very long period and its outer surface is exposed to various attacks such as sunlight, ultra-violet rays in particular, rain, wind, dust and thermal shocks of all types. There is then a rapid and progressive deterioration of the superficial structure of the felt; discoloration or at least a change in colour, a tearing of the surface which is exposed to the air, and some strips of fibres may even be torn away.
In addition to the unpleasant appearance which the whole of the building acquires, and which is often unacceptable in itself, this deterioration in the surface structure likewise produces a considerable deterioration of the organic binder which is weakened by the ultraviolet rays and which is literally washed away from the surface by the rain water running over it. Finally, when work is resumed after the few months of interruption, the felt simply appears to be superficially damaged but if the outer protection is taken away after a few years it will be found that the fibres, or at least some of them, will have dropped for want of binder and will have accumulated in the bottom part of the building.
It has been proposed that insulating panels be painted with a latex-based refractory paint which is sprayed onto the outer surface of the panels. However, this technique is not satisfactory with the most lightweight of products which act like sponges and which therefore required very substantial quantities of paint if a satisfactory resistance to steam is desired. Finnish Patent No. 70 286 proposes overcoming this last-mentioned problem by using a glass fibre membrane interposed between the insulating layer and the coat of paint, this membrane reducing the possibility of the latex paint impregnating the insulating layer.
In practice, the authors of the present invention have found that latex paints have a resistance to ultra-violet radiation which is inferior to that which is desired if the insulating product is to withstand prolonged exposure. Moreover, the membrane, above all if it is reinforced and thickened by a coat of paint, produces a mat effect when the panel is fixed by being pinned on mechanical mountings comprising a stop means in the form of packing rings or roses. This matting phenomenon slightly impairs the quality of the insulation and has, furthermore, the disadvantage of being deemed unattractive by 10 the majority of architects.
Document WO-A-82/01024 discloses insulating a facade under renovation by covering it with insulating panels preferably made of mineral wool and then extending to the four is comers of the wall to be insulated a glass membrane which then receives a coating which is waterproof but not sealed with respect to distribution, preferably of the vinyl acrylate type dispersed in water and with a filler of crushed marble, sand or the like. The application of a membrane of this type and the coating is a lengthy operation and only provides temporary protection. Moreover, a fitting operation in two additional stages is far more expensive.
The object of the invention is a mineral wool-based insulating product consolidated by an organic resin and intended for the exterior insulation of buildings and which can withstand prolonged exposure to bad weather.
In accordance with Claim 1, this object 5 is achieved by a heat and sound insulating product for the exterior insulation of facades and comprising a felt consisting of mineral fibres connected by an organic binder and coated directly on its face which is to be turned towards the exterior with a porous vinyl coating which is stable with respect to ultra-violet rays, which is sealed against running water and which is permeable to gases and vapours.
Preferably, the coating consists of a paint of the polyvinyl acetate type, deposited on the surface at the rate of 50 to 70 g/m2 after drying. The paint, preferably fireproofed, may be coloured, for example to the same shade as the · organic binder. The very small thickness of the coat of paint is surprisingly adequate to provide the required protection against bad weather and does not change the appearance of the panel once it has been fitted.
The product according to the invention may advantageously be obtained as a result of an aqueous or organic dispersion which produces the porous vinyl coating and polymerises by drying at a temperature of approximately 150°C by a hot air current or infra-red radiation being sprayed onto the surface of a strip of felt consisting of mineral fibres bonded by a polymerised resin.
Further details and advantageous characteristics of the invention are given hereinafter with reference to the accompanying θ drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a sectional view through a product according to the invention; and Figure 2 is a diagram showing the use of the product.
In particular the object of the present invention is a heat and sound insulating material consisting of a mineral fibre felt 1 intended for the exterior insulation of facades, comprising on its surface which is exposed to bad weather a i coating which is based on a polymer material which is stable with respect to ultra-violet rays, which is sealed with respect to running water, and which is permeable to gases and vapours.
The said coating 3 is applied to the felt in such a quantity that it remains porous, so respecting the actual structure of the mineral fibre felt. This porosity is necessary since, in order for it to play its part to the full, the insulating material must be able to allow air and vapours to pass through its mass, principally when it is not protected by external cladding. By remaining in the dry state, its heat insulating 10 capacity is enhanced.
In order to be able effectively to fulfil its function of providing mechanical protection (resistance to wind or rain pressure, resistance to the tearing away of fibres), the coating 3 must have a sufficiently solid structure, which is achieved by the use of sufficient polymerised substances. The polymerised substances which may be used according to the invention are vinyl polymers or copolymers of the polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl chloride type. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the material has long-lasting properties, the coating 3 must be stable with respect to ultra-violet rays which, in the long term and in large quantities, can cause cracking of the polymer chains, a phenomenon from which it is desirable to preserve the resin used for sizing the fibres and which over the course of time becomes superficially depolymerised, producing an irremediable tearing away of strips of fibres.
The resistance of the coating 3 to the action of ultra-violet rays is achieved by using suitable known additives. The nature of the polymerised substances may likewise play an important role in this phenomenon.
In place, the strips or panels of felt 1 are disposed vertically. In such a situation, the coating 3 ensures sealing with respect to running water, rain or flows of all kinds. When the rain is driven by the wind, sealing can no longer be guaranteed with the same efficiency but the porous nature of the said coating then fulfils its role !5 by allowing the water vapours present within the mass when it stops raining to pass through it.
What is meant by the term mineral fibres, within the meaning of the present invention, is glass wool or rock wool, for example.
In view of its intended use (insulation of building facades), the material according to the invention is preferably fireproofed: fireproofing is achieved by using suitable substances which are normally distributed within the coating 3, for example aluminium hydroxide.
The quantities of fireproofing agents will be determined as a function of the standards which have to be met.
The aesthetic aspect of the problem must not, as stated earlier, be neglected and the coating 3 may advantageously be coloured with organic and/or mineral pigments which are stable IQ when exposed to ultra-violet rays. Pigments of this type are well-known to the person skilled in the art and are currently available commercially.
With regard to the quantities of coating 3 applied to the outer surface 2 of the felt 1, good results are obtained with quantities of between 50 and 70 g/m2, it being understood that amounts of this type may be disregarded according to the aims which are being sought. Too thin alayer would, however, adversely affect the desired 2o mechanical strength, whereas too high a content, for example one which is markedly greater than 70 g/m , would compromise the quality of the whole, as the desired porosity would not be achieved.
A further object of the invention is a method of producing the insulating material described above. This method is characterised in that the outer surface 2 of a mineral fibre felt 1 is coated with a predetermined quantity of an aqueous or organic dispersion which produces a polymerised substance which is stable with respect to ultra-violet rays, the coated surface then being dried.
This coating is carried out at the factory, at the end of the mineral fibre felt production line, using any suitable apparatus, an inking roller or a spray gun, for example. The dispersion used comprises mixtures adapted to generate the desired polymers or copolymers, the stabilising anti-ultra-violet agent and, if 15 applicable, the pigment or pigments selected. The dispersion may be aqueous, organic or even organic-aqueous; it is applied to the surface 2 of the felt in quantities such that, after drying, a coating results which has a suitable weight perp unit of surface area, preferably 50 to 70 g/m .
The actual polymerisation step is carried out more generally by drying at a temperature of approximately 150°C, by means of a current of hot air or by means of infra-red radiation.
Once the felt 1 has been finished and dried in this way, it is cut into strips or panels of the desired dimensions. These felt strips or panels are then ready for use.
They are preferably used as follows: the felt 1 is disposed on a concreted facade 4, for example, the surface containing the coating 3 being of course exposed to the free air. The felt strips or panels are fixed to the facade 4 by gluing, for example, or by means of rods, pellets or studs, for example. In order to produce the 10 ventilated facades proper, supporting rods 6 are pushed into the mass of concrete 4; spacing elements 7 are disposed on the rods 6 which support the panels 5 in order to guarantee that the space is uniform.
The following example is given purely by way of information: - glass wool felt, density of approximately 30 to 36 kg/m3, phenol formaldehyde resin (8%); - organic dispersion containing approximately 60% 2Q polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, stable with respect to ultra-violet rays and fireproofed by the addition of Al(0H)3 density 1.40 to 1.42 - viscosity 720 mPas; - coating by spray gun followed by drying at 150°C for approximately 15 minutes; when this dispersion is also coloured by means of pigments, no change in colour is noted after drying; - end product: a panel or strip of felt approximately 30 mm thick - covering 60 g/m2.
Tests in a real situation (rain, wind, sun) have shown that an insulating material of this type suffered no notable deterioration on the surface after six months' exposure. As a rule, a period of this length is amply sufficient for fitting the outer cladding which constitutes the ventilated facade.
