DESCRIPTION

Alfol Insulation is a flexi ble form of insulating material for use on irrigular, curved or straight surfaces where it is desirable to conserve heat or
insulation. 8. Low Initial Cost--rease, rapidity of
application and no dirt or waste make the initial cost of Alfol lower than for most other insulations.

In its simplest form it con sists of successive layers of crumpled special metal foil applied approximately H" apart. The outside layer of Alfol is covered with a re movable metal jacket.
Alfol is a modern, scientifically designed
insulation which effectively and econo
mically meets all high and
low temperature require
ments. Some of the many
advantages are:
1. Negligible Weight-
only H oz. per board
foot.
2. Highly Efficient--con
ductivity .28 B.t.u. per
hour, per sq. ft., per 1
F temp, difference, per
inch thick.
3. Non-Inflammable --
being metal it will not
burn.
4. Impervious to Mois
ture--repels all mois
ture attacks thereby
retaining its uniform
high insulating value.
5. Durable -- unaffected
by vibration, will not
disintegrate, crumble, warp or settle.
APPLICATION
Alfol I nsulation is applied in never riiore
than 3 crumpled layers to one inch thick-
ness.

ducting air spaces between the layers, pro
vide Alfol's amazing efficiency. It is never
necessary to wad or pack Alfol in place.
As a matter of fact, when applied loosely in
corners, slots, etc., its efficiency is actually
increased. All Alfol joints are lapped in
each layer about I" and staggered with
respect to joints in adjacent layers. All
stiffeners, studs, rivet heads, etc., pro
truding into the insulation are lightly
covered over with
the same number of

Cabot's Heat-, Cold-, and Sound-Insulating Quilt
Thicknesses--Cabot's Quilt is made in Single-Ply (X), about Ho* thick. Double-Ply (XX), about Ho* thick. Triple-Ply (XXX), Ho* thick; and Inch Quilt, lHo* thick.
U. S. Government Bureau of Stand ards Letter Circular No. 227, reporting' tests of numerous Insulating Materials, gives Cabot's Quilt a Thermal Con ductivity rating of 0.25 per inch, which was equalled by only two other insula tors, regardless of cost.
Tests conducted by Prof. Gordon B. Wilkes, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, show the following savings in heat leakage in different methods of construction, by the use of Cabot's Quilt.

Uses--For insulating side walls and roofs ol buildings against cold in winter and heat in summer, for insulating cold storage buildings and ice houses, refrigerators, etc.; for sound proofing partitions and ventilating ducts.
Description--Cabot's Quilt is a felted springy matting of Zostera Marina, a marine plant, stitched between two layers of Kraft (Standard Quilt), non-inflammable Kraft (Anti-Pyre Quilt), asbestos (Asbestos Quilt), water-proof paper (Water-proof Quilt). Cabot's Quilt has an insulation value inch for. inch excelled or equalled by only two other insulators, both greater in cost.
Permanent--Because of its natural prop erties, no special chemical treatment is re quired, and Cabot's Quilt will not pack down, rot or harbor insects or vermin. Quilt shows no deterioration after having been in actual use for over forty years.
Fire Resistance--Standard Quilt is natu rally fire resistant and when made with the new non-inflammable Kraft paper (Anti-Pyre Quilt) can be used in any fire-proof building.
Easy, Low Cost Application--Quilt can be applied at the lowest labor cost. Being flexible it fits into corners or around projec tions without danger of cracking. Requires no special preparation or smoothing of walls or floors in cold storage work. Easily adapts it self to lining or covering of ventilating ducts. Readily cut with ordinary knife or shears.
Widths--Quilt is made in 36" and 18" . widths. 18" Quilt is quickly applied between studs and roof rafters.

'Average, value from Jones' tables. The Heating and VenliJatwg Magazine.
The cost of Cabot's Quilt is so low, for material and application, that the resulting smaller Heating Equip ment required usually more than pays for entire in sulation. Thereafter there is a yearly fuel saving.
