FLAME RESISTANT FIBROUS INSULATION AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to fibrous insulation products that exhibit improved flame resistance, relative to previously known products. The insulation product has a fibrous mineral matrix, into which is incorporated a phosphate-containing compound (e.g., an inorganic phosphate salt) and a refractory mineral filler (e.g., alumina or aluminum sulfate). The product exhibits flame resistance superior to the fibrous mineral matrix alone.
