ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an insulation article having a core of an insulation material encased within a fabric material. The fabric material is prepared from thermoplastic fibers having an average fiber diameter less than about 12 microns. Examples of the fabric material include woven, knit or nonwoven materials. The insulation material may be any conventional insulation material, including foams and fibrous materials. Examples of uses for the encased insulation material of the present invention include architectural applications such as attics, basements and crawl spaces in homes, commercial buildings and in heating, venting and air conditioning systems (HVAC), around appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, clothes washing machines and the like, in vehicles such as cars, trucks, trains, airplanes and the like.
