Would there be any interest in:
I have been doing some research on insulation for the engine
compartment and the genset compartment. Many choices are available, most
of them are either prohibitively expensive or are terrible options. I
originally used the Lytherm ceramic paper and wasn't very happy with the
results. If you bend it it will break and it breaks down after being
exposed to the wind and rain. The other important thing I discovered was
that, it is almost as bad as asbestos when it breaks down. Try to was
the fibers off of your skin. Who knows what it will do to your lungs. (
my opinion for now ) After many forays into this world of insulation I
think I have found it. There is a product which is made of spun glass,
similar to fiber glass, but pillowy soft. Add this to a product made of
silicon impregnated glass matting. Voila. You end up with a product
which has a melting point of 1000 deg. f., which also has a
soundproofing quality or 'K' value. The two products are sewn together
to give a skin and lung friendly product which is very soft, pliable and
water resistant. The finish color would be light grey, and the thickness
would be a little over 1/2".
I am trying to get some feedback on this, as I think it is a good idea,
and was wondering if there would be a marketable interest. Without
checking on the cost of sewing the two together it appears the cost of
this would be in the $6.00/sq. ft. range. How does this sound to all of
you? Looking for feedback. Thanks Darren
