METHOD FOR MAKING A FIBROUS INSULATING PRODUCT, SIZING STUFF AND COMPOSITION

摘要

In order to improve the mechanical strength after ageing, particularly in a wet medium, of an insulation product, especially a thermal and/or acoustic insulation product, based on mineral wool provided with a size, a latex is incorporated in the sizing composition which contains especially a phenolic resin. The presence of the latex allows the loss of mechanical performance after ageing to be very considerably reduced. The sizing composition advantageously comprises a latex based on an aqueous dispersion or emulsion of a polymer phase carrying hydrophilic functional groups. Application to the manufacture of insulation products intended to be exposed to atmospheric condensation and/or based on mineral wool of lower hydrolytic resistance.
