Abstract: The present invention is directed to method of bonding mineral fibers in a mineral fiber material, according to which an acid is applied to the mineral fiber material in an amount sufficient to dissolve mineral material from the fiber to form a silica containing binder on the mineral fiber, and curing the mineral fiber material to bond the fibers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a colloidal aqueous silicate dispersion containing silica and alumina, the molar ratio between silica and alumina being 2-12, as well as to a method for its preparation. Said method is characterized by dissolving a particulate mineral material, such as a mineral wool or fiber product containing silica and alumina in a molar ratio of 2-12 in an aqueous solution, nucleating and stabilizing the so obtained solution, and optionally adjusting the dry matter content of the dispersion so obtained. The said dispersion can also be made to gel. The invention is also directed to the use of the dispersion as a binder.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a binder, especially for mineral wool products comprising the steps of dissolving a particulate mineral material having a glassy amnorphous structure in an aqueous solution, nucleating and stabilizing the so obtained solution to form a sol having the desired particle size, and optionally adjusting the dry matter content of the sol. The invention also concerns a method for the production of a mineral wool product using the said binder for binding the fibers.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mineral fibre having the following composition in % by weight: SiO2 50-60, A12O3 1-6, MgO 16-22, CaO 12-18, Na2O+K2O 0-3, Fe2 O31-8, P2O5 1-6, other 0-3, whereby the weight ratio CaO/MgO<1 and the sum CaO+MgO=30-38% by weight.

Abstract: A display screen with reduced electrostatic field has applied to it a thin film (3) which contains SnO.sub.2 and Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3 in a weight ratio of from 99:1 to 91:9, preferably 99:5, and which is earthed.The display screen is made by applying an aqueous solution which has been prepared from a tin(IV)halide compound and an antimony(III)halide compound in a weight ratio of from 99:1 to 91:9; preferably 95:5;, and from which hydrogen halide formed has been removed, to said display screen in the form of a thin film which is dried and connected to earth.
