Objective
- production of non-toxic (free of phenol / formaldehyde) and temperature stable binders
for glass fiber mats
Methods
- development of a sol-gel-binder-system by the controlled surface modification of nano
scaled inorganic particles with a tailored structure in the nm-range
Results
- binder with 90 wt. % inorganic parts and process properties similar to organic
polymers
|
Applications
- general application for thermal insulation materials
- especially for high temperature applications
Benefits
- non-toxic, flexible, transparent and without long-term degradation at room temperature
- A1-classification of mineral fiber products
- heat resistance only restricted by the thermal resistance of the fibre
- hydrophobic effect on the fibers can be achieved by modification of the binder
- available in the pacific trading area
