Abstract
A mineral fiber product comprising mineral fibers in contact with a binder resulting from the curing of an aqueous binder composition which comprises (i) one or more lignosulfonate lignins having a carboxylic acid group content of from 0.03 mmol/g to 1.4 mmol/g, based on a dry weight of the lignosulfonate lignins, and having an average carboxylic acid group content of less than 1.4 carboxylic acid groups per macromolecule and (ii) one or more cross-linkers.
Claims20
A mineral fiber product, wherein the product comprises mineral fibers in contact with a binder resulting from a curing of an aqueous binder composition which comprises:
- a component (i) in the form of one or more lignosulfonate lignins having a carboxylic acid group content of from 0.03 mmol/g to 1.4 mmol/g, based on a dry weight of the lignosulfonate lignins, and having an average carboxylic acid group content of less than 1.4 carboxylic acid groups per macromolecule considering a Mn wt. average of component (i),
- a component (ii) in the form of one or more cross-linkers,
- with the proviso that the aqueous binder composition does not comprise a cross-linker selected from
- epoxy compounds having a molecular weight MW of 500 or less;
- carbonyl compounds selected from aldehydes, carbonyl compounds of the formula R—[C(O)R1]x
- in which:
- R represents a saturated or unsaturated and linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, a radical including one or more aromatic nuclei which consist of 5 or 6 carbon atoms, a radical including one or more aromatic heterocycles containing 4 or 5 carbon atoms and an oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atom, it being possible for the R radical to contain other functional groups,
- R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-C10 alkyl radical, and
- x varies from 1 to 10,
- polyamines.
A method of preparing a binder composition for mineral fibers, wherein the method comprises using a component (i) in the form of one or more lignosulfonate lignins having a carboxylic acid group content of from 0.03 mmol/g to 1.4 mmol/g, based on a dry weight of the lignosulfonate lignins, and having an average carboxylic acid group content of less than 1.4 carboxylic acid groups per macromolecule considering a Mn wt. average of component (i) as one of the starting materials for preparing the binder composition.
