The disclosed invention provides a composition that possesses insulation values approaching that of uncompressed foam neoprene. The liquid composition is incompressible and may be formulated to be neutrally buoyant in water. The composition is suitable for a use in a number of applications where insulation is required, including divers' suits and underwater cabins, such as chambers, submersible hulls, and waterproof housings.

Provided is an industrially advantageous insulating film obtainable from a resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyphenylene oxide having a structural unit of the following formula (1): ##STR1## and (B) 0.1 to 60 parts by weight of a copolymer having a functional group reactive with the above-mentioned polyphenylene oxide.

A thermal insulating cover is presented. The cover includes a top, a plurality of sides extending from the top and a wide base perimeter extending from the plurality of sides. The device may be formed as a unitary piece, or may be provided in two or more sections which are easily assembled together. A piece of foam, acting as a gasket may be affixed to the base perimeter.

There is provided an insulating unit, such as a double-glazed sealed window unit, comprising at least two spaced-apart transparent plates. The plates are sealingly joined together around their peripheral edges by sealing means, thereby to form a sealed chamber in which there is enclosed a medium such as gas, air or liquid. Means are provided to permit a pivoting movement of at least one of the transparent plates towards and away from an opposing plate, thereby to increase or decrease the volume ...

A insulating wrap includes a flexible elongate body of insulating material adapted to be wrapped in a helical fashion around an object, such as a pipe. The body has a first end and a second end. A first tie strap is secured by a first fastener to the first end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the pipe. A second tie strap is secured by a second fastener to the second end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the pipe.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of recovering the insulation by means of simple steps rapidly and easily at low cost, and paints used therefor. For that purpose, the insulating paint of the present invention which comprises an electric insulation film forming agent and an ion-exchangeable material is applied on the part of a printed circuit board where the insulation was lowered or is expected to be lowered.

A sealed insulating unit including two parallel opposed panes with a spacing and sealing system therebetween defining, with said panes, a sealed gas spaced between them, said spacing and sealing system comprising a spacer frame with a primary seal between each side of the spacer frame and the opposing pane face and a secondary seal extending between the panes outside the outer peripheral face of the spacer frame characterised in that each primary seal is greater than 0.4 mm thick on construction...

Insulating panels are formed from compressed particulate material impregnated with insulating gases, the combination being held in a gas tight pouch. These pouches can be placed in the insulation space of a structure where insulation is to be provided and, if desired, encapsulated in a foamed insulating material. Among the possible particulate materials is precipitated silica, while various Freon gases can be employed as the insulating gas.

An insulating cup sleeve has a flat, elongated blank with straight top and bottom edges and end edges, and has a plurality of transverse slits that cut into the blank, spaced apart from each other and cut at least partway across the height of the blank, which slits serve to expand the sleeve around the circumference of the cup when the slits are situated along the upward edge of the sleeve. The transverse slits terminate at a larger area cut-out that disperses the tearing pressure at the end of ...
