FIBERGLASS COMPOSITES WITH IMPROVED FLAME RESISTANCE AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Fiberglass products with increased flame resistance are described. The products may include fiberglass-containing thermal insulation that include a plurality of glass fibers that are at least partially coated with a vermiculite-containing flame retardant. The products may further include fiberglass composites that are about 50 wt.% to about 98 wt.% glass fibers, about 2 wt.% to about 50 wt.% of a binder; and a flame retardant that includes vermiculite. Also described are methods of making fiberglass products with increased flame resistance. These methods may include the steps of contacting glass fibers and/or fiberglass composite with a flame retardant mixture that includes vermiculite.
