Definitions
- the invention pertains to insulating elements made of bonded mineral fibres, thermal insulating system comprising said insulating element, and method for manufacturing thereof.
- Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems also known as Exterior Wall Insulation Systems (EWI) or External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are integrated multilayer composite cladding systems for thermal insulation of building walls, e.g., vertical envelopes of a building. They are made of many layers of different materials, usually including, among others and without limitation, an adhesive layer to be applied on the wall to be insulated, an insulating panel or board, means for fixings for said panel or board, a basecoat, e.g., mortar, a reinforcing mesh, a key coat, e.g., mortar, a finishing coat, e.g., mortar and/or plaster, and a decorative coat, mortar and/or plaster.
- EIFS Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems
- EWI Exterior Wall Insulation Systems
- EICS External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems
- ETICS may be differentiated into ‘Bonded ETICS’ and ‘Mechanically fixed ETICS’ depending on the main means, i.e. , resp. adhesive fixings or mechanical fixings, for fixing onto walls.
- the adhesion to the wall is ensured by bonding or adhesives and may or may not include supplementary fixings
- this adhesion is ensured by mechanical fixings and may or may not include supplementary bonding or adhesive.
- the insulating panel or board may be made of Expanded Poly-Styrene (EPS), expanded polyurethane foam, or mineral wool, e.g., stone wool or glass wool, with equivalent thermal but not mechanical and/or acoustic performances.
- EPS Expanded Poly-Styrene
- mineral wool e.g., stone wool or glass wool
- current ‘Bonded ETICS’ comprising insulating panels made of Expanded Poly-Styrene (EPS) offers lighter ETICS, higher bond (tensile) strength between the basecoat and the insulating panel, but lower resistance to impact, lower fire resistance and lower acoustic insulation.
- insulating panels made of mineral wool offers heavier ETICS, lower bond (tensile) strength between the basecoat and the insulating panel, but higher resistance to impact, higher fire resistance and higher acoustic insulation.
- Insulating panel made of mineral wool may be differentiated into ‘lamellar panels’ or ‘non-lamellar panels’ depending on their design.
- the mineral fibres are organised into lamellas or webs which are assembled to form a stack of layers within the panels.
- the mineral fibres are oriented within the plane of the lamellas or webs whereas the lamellas or the webs may be oriented parallel, perpendicular or oblique to the contact surface of the panels depending on the properties sought for their application.
- Non-lamellar panels encompass all panels which may be considered as not lamellar, i.e. , which do not have a structure made of stacked lamellas or webs.
- all or part of the mineral fibres may be oriented in different privileged directions depending on the process used for manufacturing the panels.
- the mineral fibres may have different orientations depending on their location from the contact surface of said panel, i.e., their depth within said panel. All or parts of them may be oriented parallel, perpendicular, or oblique to the contact surface of the panel. As a rule of thumb, their orientation is mainly governed by the process for manufacturing the panel.
- the European Assessment Document EAD 040083-00-0404 from the European Organisation for Technical Assessment on the external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) with rendering (EAD 040083-00- 0404, 2019) recommends the bond strength between the basecoat and the insulating panel ETICS, in particular Bonded ETICS, comprising insulating panel made of mineral wool to be at least 0.08 MPa for adhesive or cohesive rupture, or the rupture to occur within the insulation panel if the bond strength is less than 0.08 MPa (Table 4, ⁇ 2.2.10, ⁇ 2.2.11 .1 , EAD 040083-00-0404).
- EP 0 277 500 A2, ROCKWOOL MINERALWOLLE [DE], 10.08.1988 describes a process for manufacturing of an insulating material with a lamellar core made of vertically or horizontally stacked layers of bonded mineral fibres and a denser surface layer.
- a continuously produced insulating material is first split into two partial webs before the curing step and one of the webs is strongly compacted. Then the compacted web is fed back onto the surface of the other web and the assembly is cured.
- the compacted surface provides increased mechanical strength and a better adhesion when the insulation material is applied on walls, e.g., via partial gluing.
- WO 9213150 A1 ROCKWOOL INT [DK] 06.08.1992 describes a similar process in which the compressed layer is impregnated with an impregnating agent by suction in an under-pressure chamber.
- the impregnating agent e.g., colloidal silica, helps to promote the adhesion of plaster with which the insulating material may be covered.
- EP 1 203 847 A1 ROCKWOOL MINERALWOLLE [DE] 08.05.2002 describes blocks of lamellar insulating material made of bonded mineral fibres which main surfaces are coated with an impregnation agent, e.g., aqueous solution of sodium silicate, epoxy resins... , and a pressure- chargeable layer, e.g., construction adhesives, tile adhesives, adhesive mortars, polymer-cement-concrete and/or cement mortar, epoxy-cement- concrete mortar...
- an impregnation agent e.g., aqueous solution of sodium silicate, epoxy resins...
- a pressure- chargeable layer e.g., construction adhesives, tile adhesives, adhesive mortars, polymer-cement-concrete and/or cement mortar, epoxy-cement- concrete mortar.
- the modified surfaces promote the adhesion of insulating block to building materials while providing high transverse tensile strength and compressive rigidity.
- EP 1 321 595 A2, ROCKWOOL MINERALWOLLE [DE] 25.06.2003 describes a lamellar insulating element which one of its main surfaces is coated by a binding agent, e.g., a polymer solution, before to be applied onto a wall.
- the binding agent may be either applied to a depth up to 10 mm with a hand-held roller or with a plurality of aligned rollers that are arranged in a trough filled with binding agent.
- the coated surface of the insulating element may be further coated with layer of mortar.
- EP 1 559 844 A1 ROCKWOOL MINERALWOLLE [DE] 03.08.2005 describes a lamellar insulating element which one of its main surfaces is provided with bead-like projections which promotes the adhesion of an adhesive plaster by filling the areas between the bead-like projections.
- the bead-like projections are obtained by compressing some areas of the main surface during the hardening step.
- the transverse tensile strength of the insulating element in the area under the main surface in contact with the plaster should be higher than 30 kPa, preferably higher than to 60 kPa, which is alleged to fulfil the requirement for a bond strength of 80 kPa between the adhesive layer and the building surface to be insulated.
- EP 2 525 016 A1 SAINT GOBAIN ISOVER [FR] 21 .11 .2012 describes a non-lamellar insulating element which one of its main surfaces is provided with a 3D-supporting grid to promote the adhesion of mortar or plaster.
- a disadvantage of the current insulating panels made of mineral wool for ETICS application is that they require additional components such as adhesion-promoting agent or supporting grid, to improve the bond strength between the panels and the layers of mortar of plaster applied either as basecoats or adhesive layers. Not only these additional components may be cost intensive, but also, they may require complex modifications in the current manufacturing processes which, in turn, induces further significant costs.
- Insulating panels which may be equipped with these additional components, e.g., adhesion-promoting agent, just before their application into ETICS, they may inconveniently increase the workload on on-site operators with additional steps of preparation.
- Insulating panels made of mineral wool with compacted surfaces which may possibly be used without additional components still require complex manufacturing process, in particular for the superimposition of layers of mineral wool with different densities.
- insulating panel made of mineral fibres that may fulfil the recommendations of EAD 040083-00-0404 whether its structure is lamellar or non-lamellar.
- Such insulating panel may also be advantageously manufactured in a cost-effective manner which is easy-to-to implement in existing manufacturing processes with limited modifications.
- a thermal insulating system comprising an insulating element according to the first aspect of the invention.
- kits for exterior insulation finishing systems comprising at least one insulating element according to the first aspect of the invention and at least one basecoat mortar to be applied on said insulating element.
- a fifth aspect of the invention there is provided a method for installing a thermal insulating system according to the third aspect of the invention on a building wall.
- a first outstanding advantage of the invention is that it may fulfil the recommendation of EAD 040083-00-0404 regarding the bond strength between the insulating panel and the basecoat, in particular for the rupture to occur within the insulation panel if the bond strength is less than 0.08 MPa.
- a second advantage is that the invention may apply on any insulating panel made of mineral fibres whatever its structure, i.e. , lamellar or non- lamellar.
- a third advantage is that the manufacturing process according to the invention is cost-effective and easy to implement in an existing process with very limited modifications.
