11618536 · 2023-04-04 ·

The present invention relates to a heat-insulating structural material, which: firstly, can minimize or prevent a thermal bridge by improving the structure of the connection part of the heat-insulating structural material; secondly, improves insulation performance by arranging a vacuum insulation material inside the core layer of the heat-insulating structural material; and thirdly, increases structural stiffness by forming the core layer from a non-foaming polymer material having excellent structural performance, prevents gas from moving in or out of the vacuum insulation material through the air-tight adhesive structure of the core layer, and can improve fire protection performance so as not to be vulnerable to fire, and thus the present invention is universally applicable to fields requiring insulation ability and structural performance.

Meltable Fuse
20230142841 · 2023-05-11 · ·

The melting-fuse may be a non-stable container that contains compressed or vacuumed mineral wool, such as stone wool, that is attached to the fixation details between building components that must be air-permeable that must then provide sufficient fire resistance. The application includes melting-fuses. The fuse works in two parts, first it holds the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool in the desired location, without this prematurely expanding and thus interrupting the necessary air flow. The second form of the fuse is designed for the fact that this melts first in the event of fire, after which the compressed or vacuumed mineral wool expands and seals the cavity.

Through the melting of the fuse and the subsequent sealing of the detail/opening where the application is installed, the further spread of the fire through the air flow is prevented.
