Abstract: Insulation element for thermal and/or acoustic insulation of a flat roof, comprising a first layer made of mineral wool and a second layer made of at least one fabric, whereby the second layer is fixed to a major surface of the first layer by an adhesive, whereby the first layer is made of at least one lamella having a fiber orientation predominantly perpendicular to major surfaces of the second layer, whereby the first layer contains a cured binder whereby the adhesive is arranged partly in an area between fibers close to the major surface of the first layer directed to the second layer and in an area close to the major surface of the second layer directed to the first layer so that the adhesive connects the first layer and the second layer in such a way that forces directed perpendicular to the second layer can be compensated by the tensile strength of the second layer in combination with the adhesive and/or the deflection of the fibers of the first layer causing a maximum deformation of ?5% of the thicknes

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing shot from mineral fibres comprising providing a collected web of mineral fibres containing shot, subjecting the collected web of fibres to a disentanglement process, suspending the disentangled fibres in a primary air flow, thereby allowing separation of the fibres from the shot and collecting the fibres, wherein from 0% up to less than 1% by weight binder is present in the fibres collected from the primary air flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulating construction element made of at least one board comprising fibres, aerogel particles and at least one binder. To achieve an insulating construction element which is especially easy to handle, easy to produce and which has high insulation properties the board comprises 20 to 40 percent by weight mineral wool fibres, 45 to 70 percent by weight aerogel particles and 8 to 12 percent by weight binder which components are pressed and cured to the board having a density of 130 kg/m3 to 200 kg/m3.
