Insulation The Agasote Millboard Company Trenton, New Jersey Manufacturers of Quality Products Since 1909 UM 0MAS0T | || TRAOC MARK THE WEATHERPROOF INSULATING AND BUILDING BOARD Homasote and at higher velocities, the infiltration through these other boards increased in a much greater .proportion. Homasote at Home--Protection from the Elements Unnecessary Homasote can be used as a combination insulating and structural material. Im portant facts in the selection of an insu lating material are its efficiency as an insulator, its structural strength, its mois ture resistance, its plaster adhesion, its re sistance to air infiltration, whether it is fire-retardent and the cost of installation and upkeep. Homasote is manufactured in BIG sheets, 8 ft x 14 ft, 8 ft x 12 ft, 6 ft x 12 ft, and even multiples thereof, making it pos sible to cover the average size wall in one piece. It may be used on the exterior of a building even without painting. Comparative tests on air infiltration are shown below. These tests--made by the Lewis Institute, Chicago, 111.--show that at a wind velocity up to 40 miles per hour, 18 to 112 times more air passed through the other boards tested than through Homasote has very high moisture re sistance, according to tests made by the Robert W. Hunt Co., Chicago, showing that the other boards took up 101 per cent to 274 per cent more moisture. TENSILE LB.PEA SO. IN. & 420 LB.

In house construction, a material may be employed solely for its insulating value. But, because of its rigidity, Homasote. is often used as a combination insulating and structural material--such as sheathing on the outside of framing members, and as a wall covering within.

Corinco Corkboard Corinco Corkboard is manufactured in sheets 12 by 36 in., in thicknesses of 1, 1 Vi, 2,3 and 4 in. Details in regard to weights, freight classifications, shipping crates, etc. will be furnished upon request. Technical requirements conform in detail to the United States Government Master Speci fications. . Corinco Cork Pipe Covering There are three standard thicknesses of / Corinco Cork Pipe Covering; Brine, Ice- Water and Special Thick. All thicknesses ard supplied in 36 in. lengths with a groove just sufficient to accommodate the specified diameter of pipe. Properly applied this covering insures a snug fit precluding any possibility of frost forming and affecting its efficiency after installation. Machinery Isolation The present day use of machinery for almost every industrial purpose has tended greatly to increase noise and vibration. Vibration, aside from the fact that it is a direct cause of many noises is, in itself, a menace to machines and to the structures surrounding them. Corinco Cork Machinery Isolation is available in standard boards, 36 in. long, 12 in. wide and 1, 1J4, 2, 3 and 4 in. thick. The boards are manufactured in several densities to meet various requirements. These densities are classified according to the number of pounds of Cork Compressed into one board foot. Insulation Proper and efficient insulation demands the employment of a medium which will insure a low degree of thermal conductivity. Heating and refrigerating costs can be greatly affected, reduced or increased, by the use or omission of satisfactory in sulating materials. Cold storage equip ment, particularly, is vitally dependent upon efficient insulation. Freezers, Vaults and Cold Pipe Lines all must be protected in such a -manner as to avoid any pos sibility of refrigeration loss. Corinco Cork board and Corinco Cork Pipe Covering give maximum protection wherever applied. Air Conditioning The widespread use. of Air Conditioning equipment necessitates that highly efficient insulating materials be employed when in stallation of ducts, pumps and brine storage tanks is being made. Use of Corinco Gorkboard will insure a satis factory and economical control of humidity conditions. Properly applied, this product will materially reduce the amount of heating or refrigerating equipment neces sary to maintain a desired temperature. Additional Products Corinco Acoustical Corkboard and Corinco Cork Lagging are also widely popular, the former for acoustical correction and decor ation, the latter for insulating large pipe lines and boiler surfaces.
