Abstract

A thermal barrier configured to be rolled and unrolled while providing a thermal value of greater than about R=3. The thermal barrier comprises multiple layers including a first layer comprising a fiber mesh core and material selected from the group comprising: polyurethane, rubber, and polyvinylchloride, a second layer bonded to the first layer, the second layer comprising material selected from the group comprising: polyolefin foam, polyurethane foam and rubber based foam, and a third layer bonded to the second layer, the third layer comprising a thin film or fabric material selected from the group comprising: polyester, polyolefin, polyurethane and nylon, wherein the composite material maintains a consistent linear dimension within about 1% of total length in a coiled configuration compared with a linear configuration.

Claims (31)

1. A composite material for use in a coilable barrier comprising:

a first layer comprising a fiber mesh core and material comprising at least one of: polyurethane, rubber, or polyvinylchloride, wherein the first layer has a thickness of greater than about 0.03″ and less than about 0.25″;

a second layer bonded to the first layer, the second layer comprising at least one of: polyolefin closed cell foam, polyurethane closed cell foam or rubber based closed cell foam; and

a third layer bonded to the second layer, the third layer comprising a thin film or fabric material comprising at least one of: polyester, polyolefin, polyurethane or nylon,

wherein the composite material is coilable and maintains a consistent linear dimension within about 1% of a total length in a coiled configuration compared with a linear configuration, and

further wherein each of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is continuous along the linear dimension, and a combined thickness of the first layer, the second layer and the third layer is about 1.0″ and the first layer has a greater length along the linear dimension than both a length of the second layer and a length of the third layer along the linear dimension.

2. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the composite material provides an insulating value of greater than R=3.

3. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is bonded to the second layer by acrylic based adhesive, heated fusion, or both.

4. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is bonded to the third layer by acrylic based adhesive, heated fusion, or both.

5. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the third layer has a thickness less than about 25 mil and greater than about 2 mil.

6. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the composite material has no seams in a horizontal direction.

7. The composite material of claim 6 , wherein the horizontal direction is horizontal when installed.

8. The composite material of claim 1 , wherein the composite material has no ridges or valleys in the surface that run in a horizontal direction.

9. A method of forming a thermal coilable barrier, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a first layer comprising a fiber mesh core and material comprising at least one of: rubber, polyvinylchloride or polyurethane, wherein the first layer has a thickness of greater than about 0.03″ and less than about 0.25″;

bonding a second layer to the first layer, the second layer comprising material comprising at least one of: polyolefin closed cell foam, polyurethane closed cell foam or rubber based closed cell foam; and

bonding a third layer to the second layer producing a composite material, the third layer comprising a thin film or fabric material comprising at least one of: polyester, polyurethane, polyolefin or nylon, the first layer has a greater length along the linear dimension than both a length of the second layer and a length of the third layer along the linear dimension,

wherein the composite material is coilable and maintains a consistent linear dimension within about 1% of total length in a coiled configuration compared with a linear configuration, and

further wherein each of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is and continuous along the linear dimension, and a combined thickness of the first layer, the second layer and the third layer is about 1.0″.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising attaching the composite material to a structure to form a thermal barrier.

11. A composite material for use in a coilable barrier comprising:

a first layer comprising a fiber mesh core and material comprising at least one of: polyurethane, rubber, or polyvinylchloride, wherein the first layer has a thickness of greater than about 0.03″ and less than about 0.25″;

a second layer bonded to the first layer, the second layer comprising at least one of: polyolefin closed cell foam, polyurethane closed cell foam or rubber based closed cell foam; and

a third layer bonded to the second layer, the third layer comprising a thin film or fabric material comprising at least one of: polyester, polyolefin, polyurethane or nylon,

wherein the composite material is coilable and maintains a consistent linear dimension within about 1% of a total length in a coiled configuration compared with a linear configuration, and

further wherein each of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is continuous and uninterrupted along the linear dimension, and a combined thickness of the first layer, the second layer and the third layer is about 1.0″ and

further wherein the first layer has a greater length along the linear dimension than both a length of the second layer and a length of the third layer along the linear dimension.

12. The composite material of claim 11 , wherein the composite material provides an insulating value of greater than R=3.

13. The composite material of claim 11 , wherein the first layer is bonded to the second layer by acrylic based adhesive, heated fusion, or both.

14. The composite material of claim 11 , wherein the second layer is bonded to the third layer by acrylic based adhesive, heated fusion, or both.

15. The composite material of claim 11 , wherein the third layer has a thickness less than about 25 mil and greater than about 2 mil.
