Abstract

A method for manufacturing a mineral wool board, comprising the following steps: providing mineral wool fibers having a fiber length of 50 to 800 μm; providing a binder comprising a mixture of liquid resin and mineral fillers having an average grain size d 50 of 10 nm to 250 μm; gluing the fibers with the binder, and compressing the glued fibers using heat and pressure.

Claims (28)

1. A method for manufacturing a mineral wool board comprising the following steps:

providing mineral wool fibers with a fiber length of 50 to 800 μm;

providing a binder comprising a mixture of liquid resin and mineral fillers having an average grain size d 50 of 10 nm to 250 μm; and thereafter in the order indicated:

applying ultrasound to the binder to distribute the fillers in the liquid resin;

gluing the fibers with the binder, and

pressing the glued fibers using heat and pressure to a density of more than 500 kg/m 3 .

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid resin comprises phenolic resin.

3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral fillers comprise kaolin, quartz flour, limestone, and alumina.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral fillers have an average grain size d 50 from 300 nm to 100 μm.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral fillers are added in an amount of 5 to 150% by weight based on the mass of the solids content of the resin of the binder.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral wool fibers have a fiber length of 60 to 700 μm.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of pressing the glued fibers takes place at temperatures between 130-180° C.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of binder, based on the solids content of the resin of the binder, to mineral wool fibers is 10 to 30% by weight.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the gluing of the mineral wool fibers with the binder is carried out in a blow line.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mineral wool fibers are glued with the binder by means of mechanical gluing.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing is carried out in a continuous double-belt press.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after pressing, the mineral wool board thus obtained is further processed into a floor panel.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the glued fibers are pressed using heat and pressure in such a way that the resulting board has a density of more than 700 kg/m 3 .

14. A mineral wool board comprising:

mineral wool fibers with a fiber length of 50 to 800 μm;

binder in the form of cured resin;

mineral fillers comprising caoline, quartz flour, limestone and/or aluminium oxide with an average grain size d 50 of 300 nm to 100 μm,

wherein the mineral wool board has a density of more than 500 kg/m 3 .

15. The mineral wool board according to claim 14 , wherein the mineral fillers have an average grain size d 50 of 500 to 900 nm.

16. The mineral wool board according to claim 14 , wherein the mineral wool fibers have a fiber length of 60 to 700 μm.

17. The mineral wool board according to claim 14 , wherein the ratio of binder, based on the solids content of the resin of the binder, to mineral wool fibers is 10 to 30% by weight.

18. The mineral wool board according to claim 14 , wherein the mineral wool board has a density of more than 700 kg/m 3 .

19. The mineral wool board according to claim 14 , wherein the binder is in the form of cured phenolic resin.
