COATED GLASS FIBRE MESH FABRIC WITH REDUCED GROSS HEAT OF COMBUSTION

摘要

The invention is drawn to a glass fiber mesh fabric coated with an organic polymer coating having a reduced gross heat of combustion (less than 3.0 MJ/kg), said polymer coating comprising (i) from 60 wt% to 99.9 wt% of poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) or a copolymer thereof; and (ii) from 0.1 wt% to 40 wt% of a formaldehyde-based resin selected from melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins or a combination thereof. The invention also provides a method for producing such a coated glass fiber mesh fabric.
