A method for manufacturing acoustical elements, includes providing a first fibre component in a form of mineral wool and a second fibre component in a form of bicomponent fibres having a core with a thermoplastic outer layer, mixing the first fibre component and the second fibre component, for provision of a mixture, shaping the mixture into single layered tile shaped elements whereby the mixture is compressed with a compression ratio to a compressed state, and fixating the single layered tile shaped elements in the compressed state for obtaining the acoustical elements.

Coconut husk and coconut shells are primarily considered agricultural waste. Therefore, coconut shells are often burned, which is terrible for the environment and contributes significantly to CO2 and methane emissions. Thus, the present invention provides an eco-friendly use for coconut waste by turning coconut fibers into thermo-acoustic insulation. The present invention also describes methods of producing said insulating compositions.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a recycled insulating material from insulating wool, said method comprising the steps of: comminuting insulating wool to give a first intermediate comprising fibre balls; adding binder to the first intermediate to give a second intermediate; hot-pressing the second intermediate into the desired shape, to give a third intermediate; and curing the third intermediate to give the recycled insulating material. The present invention further relates to a method for recycling insulating wool, an apparatus for processing insulating wool, and a fibre-reinforced foam. The invention additionally embraces a fire-resistant wood-based material and a method for producing it.

A privacy apparatus includes one or more substantially cork panels. Each panel can be configured to provide visual and/or sound privacy for a certain work space. The panel can be supported on a floor via one or more base elements and/or may be reinforced in rigidity and/or strength via one or more supports. Some embodiments of the apparatus can include a first panel and a second panel attached together via one or more supports press fit within openings defined in rear faces of the panels.

The present invention relates to thermal insulation materials, particularly to environmentally friendly thermal insulation materials, manufacturing of which involves recycled raw materials and hemp fibres. The thermal insulation material described in the invention further comprises bi-component binder and conservation additive.

The summary of the utility model describes a light mineral organic insulation product that is characterized by the modification of elements found in nature and the environment which, through the process described above, lead us to obtain this insulation which Due to its characteristics and composition of the elements described and its great advantages in the use of resources that are polluting to the environment, it will generate a great impact in the construction industry because, among other advantages, costs are considerably reduced, as well as the times of installation which will optimize human resources saving man-hours because its installation is extremely simple and the materials are light and manageable.

This isolation aims to strongly promote a new generation of less aggressive proposals for the planet that will have repercussions for the benefit of future generations.

A method of recycling expanded polystyrene foam into flexible insulation elements that are made from 100% recycled material.

Described herein is an acoustic building panel comprising a body comprising inorganic fiber in an amount ranging from about 60.0 wt. % to about 90.0 wt. % based on the total weight of the body; and microfibrillated fiber in an amount ranging from about 0.5 wt. % to about 10 wt. % based on the total weight of the body.

At present, all public spaces and offices around the world use light steel hangers and 22 ceiling board or 48 indoor compartment gypsum board for the beauty and fire protection. Thermally soundproof, but the board is not encapsulated with a metal film and then vacuumed. In the long term, the moisture of the water molecules contained in the micron-sized pores would have been transported through the asbestos fibers, therefore become the medium for conducting sound waves and heat. It is necessary to enclose the board with metal film and then vacuumed in order to improve fire and sound insulation.

Described herein is an acoustical building panel that comprises a body formed from a first component comprising a fibrous material, and a binder; and a second component comprising pellets of a recycled material, wherein the second component is present in an amount ranging from about 25 wt. % to about 45 wt. % based on the total weight of the body.
