Abstract
Non-flammable insulating materials having good fire resistance and a density of from 80 to 230 g/l, which materials comprise A. from 99 to 80% by weight of inorganic lightweight particles, preferably expanded perlite or vermiculite, B. from 0 to 20% by weight of fibrous or granular inorganic additives and C. from 1 to 20% by weight of a heat-resistant organic high molecular weight binder, preferably a phenol-formaldehyde condensate, and which contain, as an additional binder C' to prevent water absorption, from 0.2 to 4% by weight of an alkylphenol/phenyl/formaldehyde condensate. The materials may be used as heat insulating materials or building materials.
Claims2
Non-flammable insulating material having good fire resistance and a density of from 80 to 230 g/l, which material comprises
- (A) from 99 to 80% by weight of expanded perlite or vermiculite having a mean particle diameter of from 0.05 to 3 mm and a bulk density of from 30 to 150 g/l and
- (B) from 0 to 40% by weight of inorganic additives, selected from the group consisting of glass fibers, rockwool, mineral wool, talc and gypsum, the particles being bonded to one another by
- (C) from 1 to 20% by weight of a heat-resistant organic high molecular weight binder, selected from the group consisting of crosslinked melamine/formaldehyde and phenol/formaldehyde resins,
- wherein the insulating material contains, as an additional binder 0.2 to 4% by weight, based on the mixture, of an alkylphenol/phenol/formaldehyde condensate C'.
