RUBEROID RESIDENTIAL INSULATING PRODUCTS
Genuine RU-BER-OID Mineral Wool
From the viewpoint of efficiency, Mineral Wool is one of the finest insulating materials for residential construction. It can be used in varying thicknesses up to 4 in. It cannot deteriorate or decompose, and is fire- and vermin-proof. This in sulation can be expected to save 20 to 35 per cent in fuel bills in the winter, and make the interior of the home 10 to 15 deg cooler in summer.
Genuine RU-BER-OID Mineral Wool in the loose or bulk form is clean, silky and
long fibred, a quality which overcomes the tendency to pack and settle. It is free from harsh brittle particles. This wool is offered in three forms--loose or bulk for packing, granulated for pouring, and in pre-formed bats for use between joists, rafters, and studding.
Loose Mineral Wool
The loose mineral wool is packed in 35 lb bags containing about 3H cu ft. A bag will cover in excess of 21 sq ft gross (in cluding the studs or joists) V/% in. thick when packed to a service density of 6 lb per cubic foot'.
The long silky fibres make this wool extremely' stable, overcoming the tendency to Pack and settle
Granulated Mineral Wool
Granulated Mineral Wool is in pellet form averaging from the size of a pea to a marble. In this form it is easily poured between studs and joists and for filling in irregular spaces. Bags contain 40 lb. When applied to a- service insulation density of about 7 lb per cubic foot, 4 in. thick, it gives a coverage of about 17 sq ft per bag.
Mineral Wool Bats
Mineral Wool Bats are packed in cartons containing 9 pieces, 15 sq ft. The bats are wall thickness (approx. 4 in.) measuring 15 in. x 18 in. which permits easy application between the studding of sidewalls, or between the rafters under the roof.

For Hot and Cold Water Lines
Special surfacing process increases .ef ficiency 20 per cent to 30 per cent. Weight also is reduced 20 per cent to 30 per cent. Made in three styles of liners: Asbestos Felt Paper for hot water lines; Water proofed Tar for cold water lines; "Twin Purpose" for both hot and, cold water lines. Furnished in either the new Pyro xylin finish or with canvas jacket.
Sheet and Block Insulations .
Supercell Pipe Insulation--A new development in the low and medium pres sure field, has a temperature limit of 500 F. It has 14 to 16 laminations of indented Asbestos Felt to the inch thickness. It is considerably lighter than the old-fashioned pipe insulation, yet, due to its unique con struction, provides as much as 35 per cent higher efficiency.
Other Insulating Materials for Low
and Medium Temperature Steam
Lines--Air Cell--Limit 350 F
..Made 2, 3 and 4 ply--each ply % in. thick. Furnished in either the new Pyroxylin finish or with canvas jacket. Temperature limit 350 F. Ideal for in dustrial hot water lines.
Any of the pipe coverings can be made into sheet and block form; Standard sizes 6,12,18 or 36 in. x 36 in. Ideal for insula tion of flat or irregular surfaces, such as tanks, boilers, breechings, etc.
Insulating Cements
For the finishing of asbestos sheet and block insulation, or the insulation of valves, fittings, or flanges, or any sort of irregular surfaces, the line of RuberoidWatson Insulating Cements is quite com plete. Will take care of temperature con ditions from 100 to 2000 deg F.
