Sound and thermal insulating non-woven synthetic sheet material
First Claim
1. A non-woven synthetic sheet materials for use in the construction of building structures for sound insulation of impact noise generated on a surface material disposed over said sheet material, said sheet material being a single felt of similar synthetic fibers of substantially uniform thickness and defining opposed flat surfaces, said sheet material being needle-punched from at least one of said opposed flat surfaces thereof and throughout said uniform thickness to cause said synthetic fibers to intertwine to form a pliable sound insulating sheet;
- said sound insulating sheet having a weight density in the range of from about 100 to 1500 g/m2, and having a homogeneous mechanical integrity resistance to fragmentation by the application of traction forces applied thereto during its intended use; and
further wherein a metalized polymeric film is secured by needle-punch to one of said opposed flat surfaces, wherein fibers project over said metalized polymeric film for contact with adhesive to enhance bonding with said surface material, said metalized polymeric film being in contact with said surface material to reflect thermal radiation there from, said polymeric film has a thickness in the range of from about 0.5 mil to 5.0 mils.

Abstract
A non-woven synthetic sheet material for use in sound insulation and/or thermal insulation is described. The sheet material is a felt or mat of substantially uniform synthetic fiber thickness and defines opposed flat surfaces. The sheet material is needle-punched from at least one of the opposed flat surfaces thereof to cause the synthetic fibers to intertwine to form a pliable sound and/or thermal insulating sheet. The insulating sheet has a density in the range of from about 100 to 1500 g/m2 and a homogeneous integrity resistant to fragmentation. Preferably a polymeric film is interconnected to a surface of the synthetic fiber sheet by a further needle punch step the polymeric film is preferably a metalized polyethylene film. The material has a multitude of uses in the construction industry. The felt may also be provided in strip form for use in the framing of wooden structures to sound insulate interconnected parts.
