A predetermined spherical magnesium oxide is provided by virtue of the synergies obtained from the boron content of 300 to 2,000 ppm and the iron content of 100 to 1,500 ppm.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: TATEHO CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Takeshi Konishi, Mareshi Takegaki, Yoshihisa Osaki, Tomoaki Chikazawa, Akinori Saito, Yuki Morita

Patent number: 11143353Abstract: A fiber reinforced insulation product may include a first layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite and a second layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite. The first layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a first binder that may form a first binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the first layer together. The second layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a second binder that may form a second binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the second layer together. The fiber reinforced insulation product may further include a third binder that may form a third binding framework that bonds the first layer and the second layer together. The third binder may be dispersed throughout the first layer and the second layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Ralph Michael Fay, Stanislav Kukatin
