Q DESCRlPTION:Microlite is a low-density, resilient, blanket-type thermal and acoustical in sulation made of long, extremely fine, flame blown glass fibers, bonded with a thermosetting phenolic resin.
AVAILABLE FORMS: Made in blanket form and packaged in rolls. See table on opposite page for densities and thicknesses.
Absorbs .Sound
The air pockets also become "sound traps" to soak up air-borne noises, particularly in the 125 to 4000 cps range.
Resilient and Flexible
Easily compressed into tight spots; springs back to assure snug fit around angles and curved surfaces; re sists breakdown and sagging from vibration and bumps; yields under impact without damage.
USES: Microlite is most useful:
Where greatest thermal and acoustical efficiency in the smallest space is required.
Where lightness in weight is important.
Conserves Space
Because of its excellent insulating efficiency, space re quired for insulation can often be reduced. Compres sion packaging saves shipping, storage and work space. Insulation quickly returns to original thickness when unrolled.

ADVANTAGES
Reduces Heat Transfer
The enormous number of air pockets created by the very fine glass fibers make Microlite highly resistant to the passage of heat.
Easy to Handle and Apply
Can be handled without discomfort. Readily cut with knife or scissors. No special tools or skills needed. Can be used with adhesives and mechanical fasteners.
Durable
Glass fibers are incombustible. Being non-cellular and
non-hygroscopic, they resist effect of moisture. Fibers
will not decompose or provide food for rodents, in
sects or bacteria. Microlite resists effects of oil, gr<
most acids.
