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 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 mineral fibre composition which is soluble in biological fluids contains substantially45-65% by weight of SiO.sub.215-40% by weight of CaO0-20% by weight of MgO0-6% by weight of Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 Oand in addition aluminium and/or iron oxides as well as phosphorus oxide in such amounts that the weight ratio of P.sub.2 O.sub.5 to the sum of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and iron oxide is circa 0.4 to 6.

Abstract: The invention concerns a raw material briquette for mineral wool production containing a mineral raw material as well as a binder therefor. The invention is characterized in that the briquette, as the binder, contains slag which has been activated with an alkaline agent, such as with an alkalimetal compound. The invention also concerns a process for the preparation of the briquette as well as a process for the preparation of mineral fibres using the briquette according to the invention.
Abstract: Method for regulating a weight related parameter in a mineral fibre felt, in mineral fibre production. The speed of the fibre felt is regulated by a feed-forward connected regulator (R.sub.1) based on the power consumption of the fiberizing unit (2). The regulator (R.sub.1) is corrected with a feed-back connected regulator (R.sub.2) wherein the measured signal is a weight related parameter measured at a location in the beginning of the felt forming line. The regulator (R.sub.2) in turn is corrected by a third feed-back connected regulator (R.sub.3) wherein the measured signal is a weight related parameter measured at a point at the end of the felt forming line.
