Method for Forming a Melt-Resistant Glass Fiber Product, and Associated Apparatus

摘要

A method is provided for forming a melt-resistant glass fiber product, by applying an insulating material to a glass fiber product comprised of filiform glass fibers so as to substantially coat each of the filiform glass fibers therewith, such that the coated filiform glass fibers render the glass fiber product resistant to heat. In one aspect, such a method comprises forming a wetted mixture including filiform glass fibers and insulating material comprising a fire-retarding solution, wherein the wetted mixture has a solids content of the fire-retarding solution substantially uniformly and thoroughly dispersed therethrough. An associated apparatus is also provided.

1. A method of forming a melt-resistant glass fiber product, said method comprising:
applying an insulating material to a glass fiber product comprised of filiform glass fibers so as to coat each of the filiform glass fibers therewith, the coated filiform glass fibers rendering the glass fiber product resistant to heat; forming a cohesive glass fiber mixture from the coated filiform glass fibers and a glass fiber binding agent; interacting a layer of the cohesive glass fiber mixture with a layer of a cohesive cellulose fiber mixture, the cohesive cellulose mixture including a cellulose fiber binding agent, such that the layers are adjacent to each other; and forming the adjacent layers into a composite product.
