ARTIFICIAL MINERAL WOOL HAVING AN EXCELLENT WATER RESISTANCE, METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME, AND HEAT-INSULATING ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: Artificial mineral fiber, a method for manufacturing the same, and a heat insulating product including the same are provided to maintain the water repellent characteristic of the artificial mineral fiber without inhibition to a binder. CONSTITUTION: Artificial mineral fiber is successively coated with a thermosetting binder and a water repellent agent. A thermosetting process is implemented. The artificial mineral fiber is glass fiber. The thermosetting binder is a phenol-based resin binder. The water repellent agent is a silicon-based water repellent agent. A method for manufacturing the artificial mineral fiber includes the following: The thermosetting binder and the water repellent agent are sprayed to the artificial mineral fiber to be coated. The binder is hardened.
