Abstract: The present invention concerns an aqueous binder for a fiber mat, in particular mineral fibers, which comprises, in parts by weight: 50 to 95 parts of at least one lignosulfonic acid salt; 5 to 50 parts of at least one thermosetting resin selected from phenolic resins and urea-formaldehyde resins; and 5 to 20 parts of a curing catalyst selected from compounds containing phosphorus and sulfates per 100 parts of lignosulfonic acid salt and of thermosetting resin. It also concerns the products resulting from treatment of the fibers, especially mineral fibers, with said binder.
Abstract: Polyester materials, methods for making polyesters materials, and uses of the polyester materials in binder materials and articles of manufacture are disclosed. In one embodiment, a process is provided for preparing a polyester solution, including mixing monomers of at least one organic acid containing at least three carboxylic groups and at least one multi-hydroxyl alcohol containing at least three hydroxyl groups to form a reaction mixture, heating the reaction mixture to a first temperature, polymerizing the monomers at the first temperature until reaching an acid value from about 200 to about 400 mg KOH/g, adjusting the temperature to a second temperature less than the first temperature, and forming the polyester solution. The polyester materials may be mixed with cross-linking materials to form binder materials. The binder material may then be used to form articles of manufacture.

Abstract: Cured non-woven fibrous mats, UF-based resinous binders, asphalt coated roofing material and processes for making cured non-woven fibrous mats are provided. A cured non-woven fibrous mat comprising randomly disposed fibers bound together with a resinous adhesive is provided. The mat has a caliper of less than 30 mil, an LOI of less than 18 wt. %, a hot tensile strength of at least about 60 lbs for a sample width of 2.5 inches, and an areal weight of equal to or less than about 1.8 lbs/100 ft2.
Abstract: Alkaline resistant fibrous products containing a binder comprised of a blend of urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde and having particular use in bonding to alkaline materials having a pH of about 8 or above, including cementitious boards and other shapes, to provide manufacturing aids, reinforcement, fire resistance and a smooth surface are disclosed. Laminates containing one or more of the alkaline resistant fibrous products, with fibers bonded together with melamine formaldehyde and optionally a blend of urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde binder, in contact with at least one cementitious layer are disclosed. Also, methods of making the alkaline resistant fibrous products and laminates that contain one or more layers of the alkaline resistant fibrous products are disclosed.
