Chicago 3, Illinois, 8 S. Michigan Avenue San Francisco 4, Calif., 155 Sansomb Street Reflective and Pyrogard - KIMSUL* is unique among building in sulations and acoustical materials be cause it is made of many individual plies --each one a continuous separate layer of soft, clean, creped, ashpalt-treated cellulose fibers. Each ply is controlled carefully in manufacture both as to thick ness and crepe structure. The result is a flexible blanket, inherently uniform in thickness--an important factor in a thermal or sound insulating material. The Kimsul plies and cover of the creped Pyrogard* or creped Reflective Vaporseal are held together with rows of strong stitching that prevent sifting and settling. No heat-leafing thin spots, no money-wasting thick spots in the Kimsul blanket. Reduced to its installed volume for easier shipment, handling and storage, the Kimsul blanket is expanded in installation. The stitching controls expansion to the density of a high degree of efficiency. KIMSUL IS NOW MADE IN THREE TYPES-KIMSUL 48 SHEATHING BLANKET --PYROGARD KIMSUL REFLECTIVE KIMSUL. Kimsul 48--Sheathing Blanket is Reflective Kimsul Insulation manufactured by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation to a width of over 48 inches, pre-cut to eight foot lengths which makes it possible to build a more heat-tight, air-tight and vapor-tight dwelling wall at lower cost than ever before. Kimsul "48" Sheathing Blanket retains the recognized insulating qualities of chemically treated wood fibres arranged in multi-ply layers of air cells that are well known in Kimsul insulation material. It is a recognized fact that this construction of an insulating material produces outstanding results. Sheathing Blanket's wood fibre construction, extremely tough, three-ply, heat re flective, vapor sealing cover give the American home building industry a material which minimizes the problems of vapor and heat transmission which have always been most difficult to solve economically. SOME FEATURES OF KIMSUL 48 SHEATHING BLANKET Positive insulation in closeframing areas. No heat lose or cold air leaks in areas that couldn't be sealed before Kimsul "43**.

The differences in the two types are: Reflective Kimsul has a cover of aluminum foil that acts both as a vapor barrier to shut out condensation, and as a highly efficient reflective surface to turn back radiant heat. Reflective Kimsul has strong reflective tacking flanges for easy, secure attachment to framing. For heat flow downward. Reflective Kimsul provides additional insulating value. Pyrogard Kimsul has the fire-resistant cover. Fire-Resistant--Special permanent chemical treatment makes Kimsul resist fire. Pyrogard* Fire-Resistant Cover--(safety feature of Pyrogard Kimsul) resists flamespread. Creped Aluminum Foil Cover--(a fea ture of Reflective Kimsul) reflects heat, shuts out condensation. Moisture-Resistant--asphalt treatment of each ply sheds water. Resists Mold, Rot, Vermin--The ma terials of which Kimsul are made offer no subsistence to vermin or insects. Special chemical treatment resists mold and fungus. "k" Factor--0.27 Btu/sq ft/hr/F. Rejmu*et lUdtoui. tn.tauea.

It will absorb sound originated by diaphragmatic ac tion, and sound leaks, as well as cushion ing furring strip type construction. Kim sul prevents bridging or short circuiting of sound-resisting construction during erection. The average coefficients of sound asborption of Kimsul are:* Double Thick 75%* Standard Thick 55% Commercial Thick 40% Kimsul should be spaced from one to six inches from reflecting surface, with cover side away from sound source to obtain greater absorption at lower frequencies.
