Cement reinforced gypsum foam with mineral wool
First Claim
1. A thermally insulating composite assembly, comprising generally at least one structural surface element and a low-density cellular gypsum material positioned adjacent to said surface element, said cellular gypsum material comprising a gypsum matrix having minute cavities homogeneously distributed therein, said gypsum material having a dry density of less than about 6 pounds per cubic foot and a thermal coefficient of less than about 0.37, said gypsum matrix including therein:
- (a) approximately 1 to 15 percent by weight of a cement dispersed homogeneously throughout said gypsum matrix;
(b) approximately 0.5 to 7 percent by weight of a mineral wool dispersed homogeneously throughout said gypsum matrix; and
(c) at least approximately 0.25 percent by weight of a chopped glass distributed homogeneously throughout said gypsum matrix.

Abstract
An improved material particularly suited for the thermal insulation of building structures such as residential housing. The material comprises an inorganic, low-density cellular thermally insulating foam comprising a gypsum matrix having minute cavities homogeneously distributed therein. The material has a dry density of less than about 6 pounds per cubic foot and a thermal coefficient of less than about 0.37. The gypsum matrix includes therein approximately 1 to 15% by weight of cement, approximately 0.5 to 7% by weight of mineral wool and at least approximately 0.25% by weight of chopped glass.
