A process for supplying insulating materials wherein fibrous insulating
material moves in a confined turbulent air stream into which an adhesive
is injected. Air under pressure is also injected so that portions of the
air are entrapped within the fibrous insulating material. The injection of
the adhesive and the air increases the pressure of the confined moving air
stream so that the fibrous insulating material expands and fluffs when
released to the atmosphere.
