METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN AEROGEL-CONTAINING COMPOSITE AND COMPOSITE PRODUCED BY THAT METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an insulating composite containing mineral fibers, aerogel and binder. This method implies the step of suspending the fiber webs and aerosol in an air flow thereby disentangling the fiber webs and mixing fibers, aerosol and eventually binder homogeneously. The apparatus described combines spinning of the fibers, collecting them as webs, disentangling the fiber webs in suspended air, mixing the fibers with aerogel and cement as well as pressing and curing the mixture to a consolidated product of densitiy 150 to 800 kg/m3.
