All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of making a self-adhesive insulation blanket comprising:
providing an elongated fibrous insulation blanket, the fibrous insulation blanket having:
a length;
a width;
a thickness; and
a first major surface and a second major surface which each extend for the length and width of the fibrous insulation blanket;
applying an adhesive to the first major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket, the adhesive comprising an emulsion of a polymer material and water;
passing the fibrous insulation blanket or board product through an oven so as to evaporate the water of the adhesive such that the adhesive forms a dry layer atop the first major surface, the adhesive forming a polymer matrix atop the first major surface and being nonadherable when in the dry state and re-adherable upon a subsequent application of water; and
rolling the fibrous insulation blanket to form a blanket roll.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the oven comprises a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the oven comprises an infrared oven.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the adhesive is applied to the first major surface so as to form a non-continuous and non-uniform coating atop the first major surface.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the adhesive is applied to the first major surface to form one or more of the following patterns atop the first major surface:
a pattern of wavy lines (an S pattern);
a pattern of straight lines;
a pattern of crisscrossing lines;
a pattern or orthogonal lines;
a honeycomb pattern;
a dot pattern; or
a splat pattern.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein a weight of the dry layer of adhesive is between 2 and 8 percent of the weight of the fibrous insulation blanket.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the dry adhesive layer becomes re-adherable upon application of water that is applied by between 15% and 30% of the weight of the fibrous insulation blanket.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein upon the subsequent application of water, the adhesive comprises a tacky state that allows the fibrous insulation blanked to be repositioned with respect to an object that the adhesive is applied to, the adhesive being in the tacky state for between 15 seconds and 2 minutes subsequent to the application of water.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising coupling a facer to the second major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the adhesive remains nonadherable when subjected to a relative humidity of up to 100%.
11. A method of making a self-adhesive insulation product comprising:
providing a fibrous insulation blanket or board product, the fibrous insulation blanket or board product having:
a length;
a width;
a thickness;
a first major surface and a second major surface which each extend for the length and width of the fibrous insulation blanket or board product; and
a facer coupled with a second major surface, the facer having a length and a width approximately equal to the fibrous insulation blanket or board product;
applying an adhesive to the first major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket or board product, the adhesive comprising an emulsion of a polymer material and water; and
passing the fibrous insulation blanket or board product and facer through an oven so as to evaporate the water of the adhesive applied to the flanges so that the adhesive forms a dry layer atop the first major surface, the adhesive being nonadherable when in the dry state and re-adherable upon an application of water.
12. The method of claim 11, further comprising adhering the fibrous insulation blanket or board product to a wall, ceiling, or floor by:
positioning the fibrous insulation blanket or board product adjacent a wall;
applying water to the adhesive so that the adhesive is adherable; and
pressing the first major surface against the wall a respective stud or joist to adhere the first major surface thereto.
13. The method of claim 11, wherein the adhesive is applied over a substantial surface of the first major surface.
14. The method of claim 11, wherein the self-adhesive insulation product is a fibrous insulation blanket and wherein the method further comprises rolling the fibrous insulation blanket and facer to form a rolled insulation product.
15. A method of making an insulation product comprising:
providing an elongated fibrous insulation blanket or board product, the fibrous insulation blanket or board product-having:
a length;
a width;
a thickness; and
a first major surface and a second major surface which each extend for the length and width of the fibrous insulation blanket or board product;
applying an adhesive to the first major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket or board product so that, when dried, a weight of a dry layer of the adhesive is between 2 and 8 percent of the weight of the fibrous insulation blanket, the adhesive comprising an emulsion of a polymer material and water; and
passing the fibrous insulation blanket or board product through an oven so as to evaporate the water of the adhesive and thereby form the dry layer of the adhesive atop the first major surface, the adhesive forming a polymer matrix atop the first major surface and being nonadherable when in the dry state and re-adherable upon a subsequent application of water.
