Composite pressure sensitive insulation joining construction
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a pressure sensitive adhesive insulation structure for joining two adjacent insulation structures. The pressure sensitive insulation comprises a carrier having a first side and second side. A pressure sensitive adhesive is in communication with the first side and in communication with the second side for adhering an insulation structure, such as those used to insulate piping.
1. A pressure sensitive adhesive insulation structure for joining two adjacent insulation structures, the pressure sensitive insulation comprising:
a carrier having a first side and a second side, a void space located in a center section of the carrier and a longitudinal split extending from the center section to an outer edge of the carrier; and
a pressure sensitive adhesive in communication with the first side and in communication with the second side.
2. A method of forming a pressure sensitive adhesive insulation structure comprising:
providing a carrier having a first side and second side;
forming a void in a center portion of the carrier;
forming a longitudinal split extending from the center section to an outer edge of the carrier; and
providing a pressure sensitive adhesive and applying the pressure sensitive adhesive to the first side and applying the pressure sensitive adhesive to the second side.
3. A method of attaching two adjacent insulation structures comprising:
providing a carrier having a first side and second side and a pressure sensitive adhesive in communication with the first side and in communication with the second side;
forming a void in a center portion of the carrier;
forming a longitudinal split extending from the center section to an outer edge of the carrier; and
adhering a first insulation support structure to the first side and adhering a second insulation support structure to the second side.
