A MINERAl FIBRE ELEMENT AND A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SUCH ELEMENT
The present invention relates to a mineral fibre element iri particu-lar for use in the production of an insulating layer with a rein-forced surface. DK-B-131952 describes a process for the production of insulating separāting walls of mineral wool blocks wherein the mineral wool blocks are dipped into liquid gypsum plaster wherein their surfaces are covered completely with gypsum plaster before they are combined to a wall and wherein the gypsum plaster is subsequently allowed to harden so as to form a plaster shell on said wall. It is stated that an insulating wall is obtained which is highly fire-retardant and has high sound insulating capacity.
The production of a shell on a wall made from such mineral fibre elements by dipping of the elements into gypsum plaster presents a number of practical problems. Firstly, the known process requires the setting-up on the construction site of plaster-filled vessels of a sufficient size for the mineral fibre elements to be immersed into the plaster and, secondly, the transportation of the elements covered with gypsum plaster from the vessel to the site of use as well as the construction of walls with the wet elements will give rise to a number of handling problems including spillage of gypsum plaster and soiling of the transportation equipmentand the persons who construct the wall.
International patent application No. PCT/DK91/00071 discloses a process for the production of an insulating layer with a reinforced surface wherein mineral fibre elements coated on one or more surfaces and in a zone-bordering on said surface contain an activable binder, are combined to form an insulating layer and wherein the binder is activated. According to a preferred embodiment of said process, mineral fibre elements containing a hydraulic binder, preferably cement, are “iised and the activation of the binder is carried out either on the the site of production to form reinforced elements which are combined on the site of use to form an insulating layer or on the the site of use after the binder-containing mineral 2 fibre sheets have been combined to form an insulating 1ayer. Thus, in the latter case the reinforced surface is not produced until the hydraulic binder has set.
The binder-containing mineral fibre elements are preferably produced by sucking a fine dry activable binder into the surface of the mineral fibre elements. $urprisingly it has now been found that by incorporting a first binder into the surface of the mineral fibre element and coating the binder-containing surface layer with sheet material embedded in a second binder, elements having surprisingly good properties regarding strength and/or binder content are obtained.
The interaction betvveen the binder layer incorporated into the surface mineral fibre element and the sheet material embedded in the second binder results partly in an increase of the point load resistance of the surface-reinforced mineral fibre element and partly in an increase of its punching strength and in particular its punching strength under dynamic influence. The latter property is of major importance when using the mineral fibre elements to form an insulating roof covering or a facade covering which is thus capable of resisting mechanical influence, such as walking, bumps and blows.
As an alternative to an increased strength the amount of binder can be reduced. Thus it has been found that the amount of binder in the cement-reinforced mineral fibre boards can be reduced by 20-50% while maintaining the same or even improving the mechanical properties.
Such a reduction of the binder content results partly in lower production costs and partly in improved heat-insulating properties of the fibre elements, i.e. an improvement of the λ-value.
The presence of the sheet material in the surface layer also improves the bending strength of the element. This is of particular importance when using mineral fibre elements constructed from lamellae of a direction of fibre orientation which is approximately perpendicular to the main surfaces of the elements. In the absence 3 LV 10123 of a reinforcement of the šurface layer vnth a sheet material there is a propensity to crevice formation at the corners of such mineral fibre elements. Thus the sheet material results in an increase of the corner and edge strengths of the elements. 5
The sheet material is preferably selected from the group consisting of non-woven materiāls, woven materiāls and meshes.
In case of a fibrous non-woven material, the weight of the sheet 10 material is preferably between 10 and 100 g/m2, more preferably 20-60 g/m2 and most preferably 30-50 g/m2.
Preferably the sheet material consists of organic or combinations of organic and inorganic fibres but inorganic fibres, such as glass 15 fleeces, may also be used alone. Examples of suitable organic fibres are polyester or polypropylene fibres. An example of inorganic fibres is glass fibres.
It is preferred to use a sheet material wholly or partially 20 consisting of non-woven material provided, hovvever, that it has a reasonable tensile strength, i.e. preferably a tensile strength of between 20 and 600 N/5 cm, more preferably 20-300 N/5 cm and most preferably 20-100 N/5 cm in the machine direction as well as in the cross machine direction. 25
In case of woven material, it is preferred to use a glass cloth or a glass mat. Preferably, the woven material has a weight of between 60 og 150 g/m2. The woven material may be coated, e.g. with plastics. 30 In case of meshes, it is preferred to use meshes made from organic compositions such as polyester or polypropylene or from inorganic material such as glass fibres. The meshes may be coated, if convenient. 35 Moreover, it is contemplated that reinforcing fibres, e.g. glass fibres as such, may be used as the reinforcing material embedded or incorporated into the second binder.
The two binders may be different but it is particularly preferred 4 that the binder which is incorporated into the surface layer of the mineral fibre element and the one in which the sheet material is embedded are identical. 5 The surface layer of the mineral fibre element into which the first binder is incorporated is preferably of a thickness of at least 5 mm and more preferred of between 7 and 15 mm.
Preferred binders comprise hydraulic binders, such as cement, 10 plaster, lime and pozzolanic substances. However, plastic binders and in particular thermo-setting plastic binders may also be used.
In case of a hydraulic binder, the binder should conveniently contain one or more additives. Examples of such additives are 15 setting accelerators, pigments, water-repelling aģents, such as silicone and wax, catalysts as well as adhesion promoters, such as polyvinylacetate and. acrylic compounds. A further preferred binder is Portland cement and when used Portland 20 cement should preferably constitute an amount of 2-15 kg/m2.
When using Portland cement as the second binder it should preferably constitute 0.5-2.5 kg/m2 after setting, and more preferably 0.5-1.5 kg/m2. 25
The density of the mineral fibre element is preferably between 50 and 180 kg/m3 and it is preferably a conventional mineral fibre element, i.e. an element of mineral fibres which are bonded to each other by means of a thermo-setting binder, such as a phenol formai-30 dehyde binder. »
The mineral fibres are preferably rock wool fibres but elements of other types of synthetic inorganic fibres, such as glass fibres and slag fibres, may also be used. 35
In a conventional mineral fibre sheet the fibres are normally oriented parallel with the sheet planē.
Hovvever, the mineral fibre element may also be composed of adjacent 5 LV 10123 lamellae wherein the fibres are predominantly oriented in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the main surfaces of the element. The lamellae may be interconnected or heid together by the sheet material embedded in the second binder.
When using mineral fibre elements of the lamella type a particularly good penetration depth of the binder is obtained and thereby a particularly good bonding of the reinforcing layer including the sheet material. Furthermore said fibre orientation increases the compression strength of the element.
The invention further relates to a process for the production of a mineral fiber element as described above.
The process is characterized in that a dry particulate activable first binder is sucked into the surface of a mineral fibre element, that the activable binder is activated, that the binder-containing surface layer is coated with a sheet material, that the sheet material is coated with a layer of activated second binder and that the binders are allowed to set.
The process results in a surface-reinforced mineral fibre element having a particularly low delamination tendency and a high strength and in particular as to corner and edge strengths.
According to a preferred embodiment of the process described above the binder-containing surface layer is coated with a layer of activated binder before as well as after application of the sheet material.
This results in a particularly good bonding of the sheet material to the mineral fibre element.
The sucking of dry particulate activable binder into the surface of the mineral fibre element is preferably carried out according to the process described in International Patent Application No. PCT/DK91/00071. A hydraulic binder is preferably used to form the surface layer 6
siīcked into the mineral fib-re element and to form the second binder-containing layer or layers. The latter layer is preferably applied in the form of an aqueous slurry (paste). The activation of the first binder may be effected in different ways depending on the nature of the binder. When the first binder is a hydraulic binder, such as cement, plaster, lime and pozzolanic substances the binder is activated by adding an aqueous medium to the surface layer. The activation of the first hydrau1ic binder is conveniently effected by spraying water onto the surface 1ayer or by treating the surface layer with a mixture of water and water vapour thereby accelerating the setting of the first hydraulic binderJ
The mineral fibre elements according to the invention are particu-larly suitable for use in the production of an insulating layer having a reinforced surface by combination of several such elements. Preferred processes for the production of such insulating layers are described in International Patent Application No. PCT/DK91/00071.
The invention will now be described more in dētai 1 with reference to the following example.
Example
Production of the mineral fibre element according to the invention
Mineral fibre elements having the following product-characteristics were produced:
Mineral fibres: Rockwool® rock wool fibres
Ignition loss: 3.5%
First and second binder: Portland cement
Total binder content: 6 kg/m2 (set) 7 LV 10123
Sheet material: Non-woven polyester material (Freudenberg
Lutradur PE 7230)
The mineral fibre elements are produced in the fo11owing manner:
The starting material used for the mineral fibre element was a lamella board containing a phenol formaidehyde binder, which lamella board was made from interconnected lamellae to obtain the sheet dimensions 100 x 1200 x 600 mm. The lamellae were produced from Rockvvool® rock wool fibres and had a density of 100 kg/m3 and an ignition loss of 3.5%.
The first binder was added to the starting material in the form of dry Portland cement in an amount of 4 kg/m2, the Portland cement being sucked into the surface of the starting material (the lamella board) in the manner described in the Applicant's International Patent Application No. PCT/DK91/00071.
The Portland cement sucked into the surface was activated by spray-ing water in an amount of 1.5 kg/m2 onto the surface.
As the second binder a mixture of Portland cement and water in a 1:1 ratio was used.
An amount of 0.4 kg/m2 of the Portland cement/water-mixture was applied to the board surface in a thin layer. The fibrous non-woven material having the dimensions 1200 x 600 mm (Freudenberg Lutradur PE 7230) was placed on top of the thin layer of Portland cement/-water. Another thin layer of the Portland cement/water-mixture was subsequently applied to the non-woven material in an amount of 0.4 kg/m2.
The setting of the binder present in the surface of the lamella board was then effected by maintaining the impregnated lamella board reinforced with the non-woven material at a slightly elevated temperature and in a humid atmosphere (40*C, 90% R.F.) for seven days and nights. 8
For comparison purposes a mineral fibre element of the same type as the element described above was produced, however, without non-woven material and second binder but with an amount of (first) binder of 9 kg/m2 (set).
In the following examples the first mineral fibre element is refer-red to as "Product A" whereas the mineral fibre element without non-woven material is referred to as "Product B".
Examination of mineral fibre elements
Measurement of insulation value
Measurement of the insulation value (λ) of Product A and Product B, respectively, in the form of sandwich elements of a thickness of 70 mm and 100 mm gavē the following results:
Product thickness Product A Product B 70 mm 46 mW/m/K 54 mW/m/K 100 mm 44 mW/m/K 50 mW/m/K
Thus, the insulation value of the product according to the invention is clearly improved as compared to the corresponding product without non-woven material.
Measurement of point load resistance
The point load resistance was measured as walkability determined with a 50 mm puncher having a punching speed of 7 mm/min.
The point load resistance was measured for-4-d-ifferent mineral-fibre—---- 9 LV 10123 element products of the lamella type, cf. below:
Mineral fibre element Point load resistance (kN/m2) 5 _
Product A 350 Product B 350 Lamella element to which a pressure distributing sheet was adhered, (180 kg/m3), 20 mm 154 Uncoated lamella element 25 20
It appears from the above results that the elements according to the invention (Product A) provide the same high point load resistance as Product B despite a reduced amount of binder (6 kg/m2 as compared to 25 9 kg/m2 - set).
Measurement of corner strength 30 Measurements of the corner strength were carried out for products A and B using the UEAtc tēst "Behaviour under concentric stātie loads at an unsupported point on the roof", Union Europeenne pour l'Agrement technique dans la eonstruetion, deseribed in "General Directive for the Assessment of Roof Insulation for Fiat and Sloping 35 Roofs", M.O.A.T. No. 28:83, section 4.1.5.2(2) (December 1983).
In the tēst the optimum force at 112 mm projected parts was deter-, mined. 10
The follovn'ng results were· obtained:
Mineral fibre element Average optimum load (N/(100·200) mm2) Product A 76 mm 610 Product B 76 mm 533
There is no significant difference between the results obtained for Product A and Product B, but the tēst shows that according to the invention the same high corner strength is obtained despite a reduced amount of binder (6 kg/m2 as compared to 9 kg/m2- set).
