  • Spinner disc and rotary fiberization process
    Patent number: 6453703
    Abstract: A spinner disc for a rotary fiberization process, includes a base plate and an annular peripheral sidewall extending upward from the base plate which has a plurality of rows of fiberizing holes therein for fiberizing molten thermoplastic fiberizable materials by centrifugal force. The base plate has: a central bore therein on a rotational axis of the spinner disc for mounting the spinner disc on a drive shaft; an outer annular portion for receiving molten thermoplastic fiberizable materials to be fiberized; and an inner annular portion intermediate the central bore and, the outer annular base plate portion.

  • Melamine in urea-extended phenol/formaldehyde fiberglass binders
    Patent number: 6441122
    Abstract: Urea-extended phenol/formaldehyde alkaline resole binders suitable for fiberglass and having a high binding efficiency are disclosed. These binders are prepared by adding a minor quantity of melamine in an amount such that the binder solution contains no solid melamine particulates at room temperature. The resulting binders, when applied to fiberglass and cured, have a binding efficiency close to 100%, and further increase the recovery and physical properties of the binder-containing fiberglass product.
