The present invention relates to a glass fiber binding composition comprising an effective binding amount of an aqueous soluble furan resin, 15 to 99 percent by weight water, and an effective amount of a catalyst for curing the furan resin. The invention further pertains to a process of binding glass fibers at junctions of the fibers comprising the steps of providing newly formed glass fibers, applying an effect binding amount of an aqueous soluble furan resin to the junctions of the glass fibers, and curing the resin at the junctions of the glass fibers. Finally, the invention also discloses a glass fiber composition comprising a plurality of glass fibers having a plurality of junctions where two or more fibers meet, and an effective binding amount of an aqueous soluble furan resin comprising 15 to 99% water applied to the junctions of the glass fibers.
A glass fiber binding composition suitable for preparing a binder-coated glass fiber random mat product having a binder solids content of from 1 weight percent to about 25 weight percent, prepared by spraying freshly formed glass fibers with said binding composition, said weight percent binder solids relative to the weight of said binder-coated glass fiber random mat product, said binder-coated glass fiber random mat product being compressible in thickness by a factor of from about 4 to about 12, the interstitial voids between glass fibers being substantially free of binder, said binding composition comprising:
A process of binding glass fibers of a random glass fiber mat product at junctions of the fibers to form a binder-coated random glass fiber mat product, such that said binder-coated random glass fiber mat product contains from about 1 weight percent to about 25 weight percent binder solids based on the weight of said binder-coated random glass fiber mat product, comprising the steps of:
A random glass fiber mat composition comprising:
