- Carr ABSTRACT A thermal insulating roofing board preferably of bonded glass fibers, and with an asphaltic saturated surface layer under a top surfacing sheet, produced by discharging fibers downwardly with binder intermingled therewith to form a pack upon a receiving surface, compacting the pack in board form and curing the binder to dimensionally stabilize the pack, applying asphalt to the upper surface of the pack to impregnate the upper stratum thereof, and applying a thin, impervious surfacing sheet over the applied asphalt, said sheet being preferably between one fifth of a mil and one mil in thickness, and softenable, fusible or dissolvable at the temperature of melted asphalt whereby on the mopping deposit of a melted asphalt over the roofing board in constructing a built-up roofing the sheet is at least weakened by the heat of the asphalt and opened by dispersion or disruption and permits integration of the melted asphalt therethrough with the asphalt of the board.
- This invention relates to a thermal insulating roofing board composed of fibrous glass or other insulating material and with the top surface impregnated with asphalt and covered by a surfacing sheet and to such a board intended for roof insulation.
- the roofing boards of this invention are designed mainly for flat or low-pitched roof decks that may be surfaced with a buiit-up bitumen-bonded roofing.
- the boards are laid directly over the roof deck whether wood, steel, concrete or precast slabs.
- the main object of this invention is a roofing board which has an upper impregnation of asphalt and an impervious top surfacing sheet, the sheet normally having sufficient resistance to impact and puncturing to protect the board during packaging, storage, shipment and installation but being fracturable, dissolvable, or meltable and preferably thin whereby it is disrupted, dissolved or otherwise dispersed under the stress and contact with melted asphalt when the latter is mopped, brushed or otherwise applied over the board in-the construction of a built-up roofing.
- the newly applied asphalt then may pass'through the sheet and merge with the asphalt impregnation of the board and thus provide a more unified and homogeneous roof structure including other superimposed elements.
- the surface sheet is kraft paper and remains in place after installation of the board, and being of an absorbent nature it may originally carry moisture or wick moisture from edges of the board. This water is likely to gasify under solar heat and cause bubbles or openings in the asphalt surface. The contraction of the kraft paper accompanying drying thereof in frequent cases will draw the board into saucer shape, raising its edges.
- Other impervious covering sheets of extra thickness and inert synthetic composition may similarly trap air or moisture which are apt to expand and weaken the weatherability of the roofing structure.
- the kraft paper or other permanent covering sheet constitutes a lamination subject to cleavage.
- a further object of this invention is a method of producing a roofing board in which the board may be economically and completely fabricated in a continuous production line utilizing a reduced number of components and fewer steps in the manufacturing process.
- a concomitant purpose is to provide an insulating board that amplifies the overall strength of a built-up structure.
- Another object of the invention is the processing of a roofing board with sufficient rigidity and attachment characteristics to withstand uplifting or cleavage under high winds from its installed position in a roof structure.

- FIG. 5 is a perspective broken view of a corner of a roofing board embodying the invention.
- FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 suitable equipment and processing procedure for fabricating the boards are presented in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- a portion of a glass furnace 10 with a forehearth 11 extending therefrom.
- a series of ported bushings 12 are mounted upon the lower side of the forehearth l1.
- Streams 14 of molten glass issue downwardly from the bushings into a series of seven rotary fiber forming units of which only three, 16 and 18, the first two, and 20, the last of the series, are here illustrated.
- the rotary forming units are all alike and of a conventional design including an upper housing 22 supported upon a carriage 24 movably mounted upon .tracks 26. This arrangement permits each unit to be temporarily transferred from the hot area of the forehearth for inspection and maintenance requirements.
- the stream 14 of molten glass is directed downwardly through a hollow tube or quill 28 extending from the upper end of housing 22 down to a centrifuge 30 to which it is joined.
- the quill and centrifuge are rotatably driven by a motor within housing 22.
- the molten glass in fiberized by being centrifugally forced through orifices in the peripheral surface of centrifuge 30. From chamber 32 hot combustion gases are discharged down upon the upper surface of the centrifuge 30 to maintain it at molten glass temperature.
- the primary fibers issuing laterally from the orificed peripheral surface of the centrifuge 30 are blown downwardly within the cylindrical shield 34 and are further attenuated therein by a blast of combustion gases from the annular burner 36.
- the resulting whirling veil of fibers 38 with the combined streams of hot gases from chamber 32 and burner 36, descends thorugh guiding spout 40.
- the fibers may be between 25 and 60 hundred thousandths of an through in diameter but preferably have a diameter of approximately 39 hundred thousandths.
- a vertical partition 48 within the hood secludes the fibers from the last rotary unit 20 the fibers produced by the preceding rotary units in their descent to the foraminous conveyor 50, traveling over suction chamber 52.
- a partition 48a sequesters the fibers delivered from the first unit 16.
- Phenol formaldehyde is the preferred bonding agent
- the amount of the binder utilized is advisably in the region of 9 percent by weight of the full fibrous pack but may be varied within a range roughly of 5 to percent with the cost factor tending to discourage higher quantities, and diminishing strength accompanying the use of lower amounts.
- Chopped strands 57 are mixed with the fibers produced by rotary unit by the combination chopper and blower 56. This draws strands 54 from an aligned series of strand packages such as the single spool or bobbin 55 illustrated and projects the chopped strands into the upper end of the portion of the hood 46 which is confined by partition 48.
- the chopped strands 57 are desirably cut to lengths between 2 and 4 inches and in the example of processing herein selected for purposes of explanation amount in weight to at least ten percent of the weight of the non-continuous fibers from rotary forming unit 20 with which they are combined. With a conveyor speed of 60 feet per minute and a deposited fibrous pack 4 feet wide intended for forming a roofing board one inch in thickness, the chopped strands would be introduced at the rate of roughly 2% pounds per minute.
- the basic strands 54 may be of a size providing about 15,000 yards per pound and be composed of 200 continuous filaments of an approximate diameter of 37 hundred thousandths of an inch. Alternately, the individual strands may contain some 400 continuous filaments with a diameter around hundred thousandths of an inch.
- Feeding of the chopped strands may be considerably advanced by bundling them into loose rovings upon the packages 55 and passing the rovings through the chopper 56.
- Sixty strands ends may, for example, be so gathered together in each roving and six or more of such rovings be fed in spaced relation through the chopper 56, the latter being of appropriate length, such as 4 feet in this instance, to discharge the chopped strands across the width of the hood 46.
- the chopped strands 57 are thoroughly intermixed with the fibers.
- the pack 58 accumulated within hood 46 includes the fibers produced by the full series of seven rotary fiber forming units. As the fibers from rotary unit 20 are the last to be deposited upon the pack 58 there is formed a distinct upper stratum 62 constituting a definite proportion, in this instance one seventh, of the total thickness of the pack 58, throughout with the chopped strands are exclusively distributed.
- strands are fed to the chopper 56a to project chopped strands into intermingling relation with the fibers downwardly discharged from the first fiberizing rotary unit 16.
- the fibers from this unit and the chopped strands added thereto are segregated during their descent and deposit upon the conveyor 50 by the partition 48a.
- the pack 58 is carried by conveyor 50 under roller 64, which is preferably heated to decrease to propensity of the fibers to become attached thereto, and the pack is preliminarily reduced thereby to a compressed state 66 for introduction between upper and lower compression conveyor flights 70 and 72 within oven 68.
- the thickness of the pack is permanently established by the setting of the binder within the oven.
- a continuous rigid panel 74 with a strand reinforced upper stratum 62, and in the thickness of one inch in this instance, is accordingly discharged from the oven.
- chopped strands 57 are discharged from the combination chopper and blower 56b down within chamber 59 upon the surface of the pack 58.
- This deposit 66 of chopped strands lies rather loosely but is held in position by the portion of the binder upon the surface fibers of the pack and remains in distributed position upon the pack through the oven 68.
- the subsequent surface inpregnation of asphalt amounting to three thirty seconds of an inch for stratum 66 of loose strands integrates the chopped strands and the cured pack.
- the chopped strands may be placed upon the pack after it has passed through the oven just prior to the application of asphalt.
- One pound of chopped strands per one hundred square feet of surface serves ver adequately.
- the density of the panel 74 in its final compressed state should not be below 7% pounds per cubic foot in order to maintain high compressive strength in the fibrous boards, and perferably should not exceed 9 pounds for retention of the porosity required for superior thermal insulation.
- a vertically reciprocating chopping knife 78 severs the panel 74 crosswise into individual board units 79.
- the panel 74 is usually 4 feet in width, a standard fixed dimension of the roofing boards. According to the timing of operation of the knife 78 the other planar dimension of the boards may be within a broad range but most commonly is 2, 3, 4 or 8 feet.
- Residual heat from the binder curing temperature utilized in the oven is retained in the panel 74 as it passes beneath the asphalt coater 80 to which asphalt in a controlled volume is delivered by pump 86.
- the desired fluidity of the asphalt passing through the coater is maintained by an associated heater 88.
- a thin continuous curtain of asphalt 81 flows downwardly from the coater across the upper surface and slightly over the edges of the boards 79 whereby the side edge surfaces are also coated as may be best seen in FIG. 4.
- the asphalt sinks into the upper stratum 62 or 66 thereof and slightly into the surfaces of the opposite side edge portions.
- the penetration of the asphalt is predetermined by the amount thereof, its controlled fluidity and supplementally by the speed of hardening of the asphalt.
- the asphalt impregnation is restricted to the full or major portion of the thickness of upper stratum 62 amounting in this example to one-seventh of the full thickness of the panel 74 or to the narrower surface stratum 66 when the penetration is preferably no more than three-sixteenths of an inch.
- the high porosity and attendant thermal insulating capacity of the main portion of the panel is thus preserved.
- the preferred asphalt for impregnation of the upper stratum is a steep asphalt having a softening point between 180F. and 190F.
- One having a softening point below 170F. is not recommended while asphalts with melting points as high as 250F. would ordinarily give very satisfactory service.
- asphalt is maintained at the desired fluidity by being heated to between 340F. and 425F. and normally between 350F. and 375F.
- a polyethylene film 101 is directed down upon the panel 74 by rolls 103 and 105.
- the pressure of roll 105 against the panel is opposed by roll 106 directly below the panel.
- Guides 107 and rollers 108 turn the edges of the polyethylene film 101 downwardly and presses them in adhering relation against the side edges of the panel 74.
- Roll 105 is chilled by water at a temperature of 40F. to 70F. passed therethrough from inlet pipe 109.
- the film 101 is thus cooled and therethrough reduces the temperature of the asphalt impregnation of the panel 74 to about 150F. which is well below the melting point of the film composition.
- the attaching face of the film may be softened to a slightly tacky condition by the residual heat of tha asphalt and is thereby better attached to the panel while the outer side of the film is kept cooler by the applicator roll.
- Additional water and air cooling treatment is provided by water nozzles 111 and air nozzles 115. The air from nozzles l 15 also helps dry or blow the water from the top of the board.
- the film and roll have a smoothing effect upon any concentration of asphalt left upon the surface of the panel 74. Besides serving as a parting agent when the resulting boards 79 are stacked for shipping or storage, the film also opposes injury of the board during handling and installation of the boards. A corner of the board is illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the low or medium density polyethylene film is subject to liquefication and disintegration under hot asphalt that may be later mopped over the boards, the temperature of which usually ranges between 375F. and 425F. Entry through the film is thus effected and a direct bond is thus secured between the mopped asphalt and the asphalt surface coating of the board. This ties in the board with subsequent material laid over the mopped asphalt.
- a polyethylene film from 0.0002 to 0.001 or one mil in thickness is preferred for the surface sheet. Films within this same thickness range of other compositions such as polypropylene also are weakened sufficiently to be easily disrupted and to permit union between the asphalt topping of the board and heated asphalt applied in building a built-up roofing structure.
- Polyethylene is soluble in hydrocarbons and is accordingly affected by the residue of higher boiling petroleum derivatives in asphalt, particularly at high temperatures. Should it be desirable to promote its dissolution more active solvents may be added to the asphalt or first sprinkled upon the board surface.
- the surfacing sheet should be normally impervious, non-absorbent, and strong enough to strengthen the surface of the board in resistance to rough treatment as well as to act as a parting medium to prevent sticking of adjacent boards stacked for shipment or storage, and further present a smooth, comfortable surfacefor handling during installation.
- the sheet should also be of a composition and thinness that makes it easily ruptured through dissolving, melting, friction of mopping, wire brushing or other simple tearing, puncturing or perforating action to cause opening thereof for access therethrough of the hot mopping asphalt and the union thereof with the asphalt impregnation of the board.
- the ordinary covering of paper is susceptible to absorption of moisture. Such water carried by the paper may expand under solar heat to cause blistering in the roofing structure and thus weaken the integrity thereof. Also if moisutre has been absorbed by the paper prior to installation the drying thereof will contract the paper and is apt to bend the board and raise its edges from the underlying roof surface. The paper lamination may additionally promote cleavage in the roof structure. Another occasional difficulty encountered with the paper covering is that under the extra high temperature which may rise to F. or more on roofs the asphalt may saturate the paper and cause adherence of the boards in their stacked shipping package.
- a continuous protective covering sheet over an asphalt impregnated roofing board designed for builtup roofings and effecting openings in the sheet prior to 7 or at the time of applying hot asphalt thereover when installed on a roofing deck for providing access to the asphalt impregnation for promoting integration of the board with the built-up roofing structure.
- the nature of the covering sheet is only limited to being perforatably in this basic method of the invention.
- the perforation may be obtained by puncturing, scraping, or other mechanical action but practically is more desirably a result of the usual procedures of applying the mopped asphalt.
- the film is merely softened by the temperature of the melted asphalt the desired disruption would be promoted by the use of a brush having stiff bristles of wire or fibrous glass.
- the most satisfactory manner of having the film disrupted is through the temperature alone of the applied coating of hot asphalt. Dissolving or thorough melting would then be the essential effect.
- the thermal capacity of a heavier coating of asphalt, the thinness of the film, the composition of the film, the temperature of the applied asphalt would be important factors to be considered and arranged for reaching the desired destruction of the film and for determining the application procedures to follow to effect the destruction.
- a roofing board haing its upper surface impregnated by asphalt and a thin, impervious polyethylene covering sheet 0.0002 to 0.001 inch thick attached over the impregnated surface, said sheet being normally tough enough to act as a parting medium preventing the board from sticking to adjacent boards when stacked for shipment and providing a clean surface for handling and installation, said covering sheet being sufficiently thin and of a composition making it easily torn or otherwise opened by the friction of application of the mopping asphalt whereby the mopping asphalt has access to and is integrated with the asphalt of the board.
- a roofing board having its upper surface impregnated by asphalt and a thin, impervious, non absorbent polyethylene 0.0002 to 0.001 inch, covering sheet attached over the impregnated surface, said sheet being normally tough enough to act as a parting medium preventing the board from sticking to adjacent boards when stacked for shipment and providing a clean surface for handling and installation, said covering sheet being sufficiently thin and of a composition disruptable by heated mopping asphalt applied thereover when the board is a base for a built-up roofing.
- a roofing board according to claim 2 in which the composition of the covering sheet is fusible at the temperature of the heated mopping asphalt.
- a roofing board for a base unit of a built-up roofing structure having a top impregnation of asphalt, and an impervious protective covering sheet of polyethylene composition and in a thickness between 0.0002 and 0.001 of an inch and being thermoplastic and softenable at 220F and hence easily destructable at the temperature of mopping asphalt applied thereover whereby the sheet may be apertured for union of the mopping asphalt with the asphaltic impregnation.
- a roofing board for a base unit of a built-up roofing structure having a top impregnation of asphalt and an impervious protective covering sheet 0.0002 to 0.001 of an inch in thickness over the asphaltic impregnation, the covering sheet being low to medium density polyethylene dissolvable by the oils of asphalt and hence destructable by hot mopping asphalt applied thereover whereby the sheet may be apertured for union of the mopping asphalt with the asphaltic impregnation.
