ETOBICOKE, Ontario — Covertech announced that it has been granted three new patents for its rFOIL™ insulation — U.S. Patent No. 8,221,871, U.S. Patent No. 8,327,601, and U.S. Patent No. 8,343,614. These follow the earlier grant of two U.S. patents and two Canadian patents. The inventor named in each patent is Furio Orologio, one of the founders of Covertech.
According to the company, the inventions result from research by Covertech to satisfy the need for reflective thermal insulation meeting Class-A standards. The two earlier patents were directed to the use of insulation comprising of metalized polymeric film for bubble-pack assemblies. The new patents extend the use to all other reflective insulation materials based on metalized polymeric film which provide Class-A standard thermal insulation, including polystyrene foam, closed cell foam, polyethylene and polypropylene foams, closed cell foams, radiant barriers, and other multi-layer assemblies.
