  • Fibrous material comprised of vermiculte coated fibers
    Patent number: 4543287
    Abstract: A fibrous composite material of essentially two-dimensional form in the form of individual fibres, sheets or layers comprising combustible fibres and lamellae of a layer mineral of size below 50 microns, a method for the manufacture of the fibrous composite materials by applying lamellae of a layer mineral to the fibres preferably from suspension followed by removal of the liquid phase of the suspension, and use of the fibrous composite materials for the fire-protection of substrates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 1984
    Date of Patent: September 24, 1985
    Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries Limited
    Inventors: Peter J. Briggs, Kevin McAloon, Graham R. Rideal
  • Fibrous material comprised of vermiculite coated fibers
    Patent number: 4532176
    Abstract: A fibrous composite material in the form of individual fibres, sheets, layers or lightweight blocks comprising non-combustible fibres and lamellae of a layer mineral, a method for the manufacture of the fibrous composite materials by applying lamellae of a layer mineral to the fibres preferably from suspension followed by removal of the liquid phase of the suspension, and use of the fibrous composite materials for the fire-protection of substrates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 1984
    Date of Patent: July 30, 1985
    Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries Limited
    Inventors: Peter J. Briggs, Kevin McAloon
  • Delaminated vermiculite coated aluminum
    Patent number: 4476181
    Abstract: An aluminum substrate comprising a layer of lamellae of a layer mineral, preferably vermiculite, in which substantially all of the lamellae are of size below 50 microns, production of the coating by applying a suspension of the lamellae to the substrate and removing the liquid from the suspension. The coating significantly upgrades the thermal insulation and fire performance of aluminum substrates even when only a few microns, for example below 50 microns and even below 10 microns, in thickness.

  • Fibrous composite materials and the production and use thereof
    Patent number: 4421815
    Abstract: A fibrous composite material in the form of a three-dimensional block comprising a mass of combustible fibres and lamellae of a layer mineral, a method for the manufacture of the fibrous composite materials by applying lamellae of a layer mineral, preferably from a suspension, to combustible fibres and forming the fibres and layer mineral into a three-dimensional block, and use of the fibrous composite materials as insulating materials and for the fire protection of substrates.
