Loose fills

Used as a light-weight aggregate in heat and sound insulating plasters, as a loose fill and in... 

Polystyrene. There are two types of expandable polystyrene processes expandable polystyrene for molded articles and expandable polystyrene for loose-fill packing materials. 

Nearly all the expanded polystyrene that is not used for thermal insulation is used for packaging. Uses range from individually designed box interiors for packing delicate equipment such as cameras and electronic equipment, thermoformed egg-boxes to individual beads (which may be up to 5 cm long and about 1 cm in diameter) for use as a loose fill material. There is also some use of thin-wall containers for short-term packaging and conveying of hot food from... 

Note ( ) Adopted from the U.S. Department of Energy 1997 Insulation Fact sheet, (b) Insulation is also effective at reducing cooling bills. These levels assume that you have electric air-conditioning, (c) R-Values are for insulation only (not whole wall) and may be achieved through a combination of cavity (batt, loose fill, or spray) and rigid board materials, (d) Do not insulate crawl space walls if crawl space is wet or ventilated with outdoor air. 

Up to 18 in. above grade level within a horizontal radius of 10 ft from a loose fill connection, and within a horizontal radius of 5 ft from a tight fill connection. Within 3 ft of open end of vent, extending in all directions. 

Base product produced as a granular loose fill, which can be bonded to form boards or dry mixed with fillers and binders for spray application. 

Thermal insulation on snow can be loose fill, sheets and roof like structures. Loose fill insulation is different types of wood chips, rice shell, debris (mineral particles), etc. Sheets can be both plastic and filled tarpaulins, e.g. with straw. Superstructures are more or less rigid constructions that are partly or totally removed/opened during the winter. 

There are a number of suggested and implemented ways to store the snow/ice. If the snow is stored underground it is not necessary with thermal insulation. Otherwise a more or less insulated building or insulation directly on the snow is needed. There are different types of insulations loose fill, sheets and superstructures, with different advantages and disadvantages. 

ALTERNATIVES A spoonful of match head igniter (match head scrapings) can be used in place of the 20 match heads. A magnesium head time pencil, or a time pencil to which is attached a small sack or paper tube loosely filled with black powder, can be substituted for the match heads and the time fuse fire starter. 

Note 2 Pillows and cushions with primary covers and "solid" or loose" fillings and tested as composites. See Table VIII. 

Pillows and cushions + with primary cover and non-loose fillings BS 5852/2 2 D... 

For loose fillings, the test rig is lined with the specified FR polyester fabric. 

FLAME IGNITION TESTS FOR PILLOWS AND CUSHIONS WITH LOOSE FILLINGS. With primary covers and loose fillings are tested to BS 5858 Part 2 with ignition Source 2 using the specified FR polyester fabric lining to the test rig. Cushions are additionally covered with the specified FR polyester fabric. 

Foil bags for the collection of biological waste and biodegradable loose-fill packaging materials are already in use. 

Columns, scrubbers, reactors, and similar process vessels, particularly those containing packed beds, either structured or random (or loose-fill), can be susceptible to internal fires when they are opened to the atmosphere for internal... 

Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium are used for both loose-fill and structured metal packing. All have reportedly been involved in packing fire incidents. Titanium, in particular, has been involved in a number of column fires. 

More peaceful uses of these crude articles appeared in the form of fire crackers - the first fireworks One mixture corresponded quite closely to modern gunpowder in that it contained saltpetre, sulfur and willow charcoal. The fire cracker was said to consist of a loosely-filled parchment tube tied tightly at both ends and with the introduction of a small hole to accept a match or fuse. All of these incendiary mixtures, presumably containing saltpetre, are mentioned in Chinese work dating... 

Compared to the global market for PE film applications (approximately 30,000 kt in 2007), the market for biodegradable polymers (65 kt in 2007 excluding loose fill applications) represents a small niche segment, which has been established over the last decade. The competitive advantages and market drivers of biodegradable polymers in specific applications are based on ...
