Binders for Materials Based on Glass and Mineral Fibers (Review)

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

In this article, we review the existing types of binders for thermal and acoustic insulation made of glass and mineral fibers. The current interest in the development and modification of binders for the manufacture of thermal insulation used in the transport, construction, and other industrial sectors is associated with increased requirements for their operational, environmental, and fire-retardant characteristics. Directions in the development of binders for fiber thermal insulation materials that meet modern requirements are indicated. Thus, thermal protection systems should possess sufficient strength and flexibility to maintain their integrity during manufacture, transportation, and installation in target volumes, as well as sufficient elasticity to restore their volume after compression, low specific gravity, low coefficient of thermal conductivity, flame resistance, low smoke emission, and resistance to moisture gain during heating and cooling.
