Abstract
Non-inflammable, non-flashing foam products such as foam boards, which comprise a layer of a rigid foam of a furfuryl alcohol-formaldehyde containing resin composition wherein at least one surface of said foam product has, as an integral part of its surface layer, porous glass fibre tissue. In accordance with another feature of the invention the glass fibre tissue surface is covered with a layer of an inorganic material such as a silicate. Methods of making these foam products are also disclosed.
Claims8
A non-inflammable, non-flashing foam product, particularly foam board, comprising:
- (a) a layer of a rigid foam product of a furfuryl alcohol-aminoformaldehyde resin composition containing at least a sufficient amount of a boron compound so that the foam will pass the muffle furnace test at 500.degree. C. and has no second exotherm at 200.degree. C.;
- (b) at least one surface of said layer of rigid foam product having, as an integral part of its surface layer, a porous glass fibre tissue;
- (c) a solid or semi-solid layer of an inorganic material applied subsequently onto the glass fibre tissue containing surface.
A non-inflammable, non-flashing foam product, particularly foam board, comprising:
- (a) a layer of a rigid foam product of a furfuryl alcohol-aminoformaldehyde resin composition containing at least a sufficient amount of a boron compound so that the foam will pass the muffle furnace test at 500.degree. C. and has no second exotherm at 200.degree. C.;
- (b) at least one surface of said layer of rigid foam product having, as an integral part of its surface layer, a porous glass fibre tissue;
- (c) at least one surface of said rigid foam product layer on which has been applied, at least in part, an adhesive of a silicate base material, having a ratio of SiO.sub.2 to alkali metal oxide of 1.6:1 to 3.9:1;
- (d) a rigid or flexible facing overlying said adhesive.
