Definitions
- the present invention relates to formulations used to control dust generated in using fibre insulation products. More specifically, the invention relates to an aqueous emulsion of a petroleum based material and a triglyceride component that is usable as an anti-dusting formulation for fibreglass and mineral wool insulation products and which forms a stable composition when mixed with a binder.
- fibre based insulation products embedded into walls, attics and crawlspaces etc.
- Such fibre based insulation products generally comprise fibreglass, mineral wool products and the like. These products are generally available in the form of batts or blankets, which are laid together to form an envelope around the perimeter of the dwelling.
- a binder such as a thermoset binder
- One common binder is a phenolic resin (e.g. an aqueous phenol-formaldehyde condensation product) such as that commercially available from Dynea (www.dynea.com) under product no. 1957-16.
- 6,964,744 teaches the use of mineral oil combined with a non-ionic and/or cationic surfactant to improve the effectiveness of the mineral oil.
- a binder and anti-dusting agent it is advantageous to apply both components simultaneously to the fibres so as increase production efficiency.
- a phenolic resin binder and a mineral oil anti-dusting agent it is found that the formulation results in the rapid separation of the aqueous binder solution and the non-aqueous anti-dusting component. This phase separation, or instability, is found to occur despite the fact that stirring mechanisms are used.
- the present invention provides a composition which overcomes at least one of the deficiencies in the known formulations.

- the invention provides a fibre wool insulation product having incorporated therein an anti-dusting emulsion formulation as described herein.
- Fiber means any glass, mineral or other type of fibres used to manufacture insulation. Typically, glass fibres are used.
- Fibre wool means any wool-like insulation product made using fibres. Fibreglass and mineral wool (i.e. RockwoolTM) are examples of such products.
- Binder means a binder or binding agent used to adhere fibres together in the process of manufacturing the insulation product. Such binders are generally known to persons skilled in the art.
- the binder comprises a phenolic resin.
- the phenolic resin comprises an aqueous phenol-formaldehyde condensation product) such as that commercially available from Dynea (www.dynea.com) under product no. 1957-16.
- Anti-dusting agent or "de-dusting agent” or “dust suppressant” - mean additives applied to the fibres to reduce, suppress or prevent dust formation during formation of the fibres or during application of the fibres at an insulation site (i.e. the walls or attic etc. of a dwelling or structure).
- Anti-dusting agents are known in the art and may comprise, for example, petroleum based products.
- the anti-dusting agent comprises mineral oil.
- anti-dusting formulation will be understood as being a formulation comprising an anti- dusting agent along with other additives.
- Iodine value (IV) - is a measure of the iodine absorbed in a given time by a chemically unsaturated material.
- the IV number is used to measure the degree of unsaturation (i.e. the number of double bonds) of a compound or mixture.
- Stability - refers to the quality or property of an emulsion to resist separation into its components or phases.
- Lignosulphonate - refers to the reaction product of lignin, which is inherently obtained during sulphite pulping of wood, and is a principle constituent of spent sulphite liquor.
- the lignosulphonate comprises a calcium salt of lignosulphonic acid.
- the present invention comprises, in one embodiment, an emulsion formulation for use as an anti-dusting additive in the manufacture of fibre insulation.
- the formulation comprises an aqueous emulsion comprising: (a) a petroleum based hydrocarbon; (b) a triglyceride; and, (c) a surfactant.
- the invention is particularly suited for use with fibreglass insulation.
- One example of such insulation is fibreglass batt insulation.
- the petroleum based hydrocarbon, component (a) comprises a mineral oil, bright stock oil, paraffinic slack wax or petrolatum.
- the hydrocarbon component has a minimum flashpoint of 450 0 F, or more preferably, a minimum flashpoint of 580 0 F, using a Cleveland open cup tester.
- the component (a) comprises a mineral oil.
- An example of a suitable hydrocarbon component is commercially available under the trade name EssoflexTM 571 , manufactured by Imperial Oil, which is a common oil used as an anti-dusting agent in the fibreglass industry.
- the petroleum based hydrocarbon component is present in the anti- dusting formulation in the range of 10% to 70% (w/w).
- component (b) preferably comprises triglycerides selected from: palm oil, palm kernel oil, palm stearin, coconut oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, soy stearin linseed oil, stearin oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, rape seed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, tung oil, castor oil, fish oil, lard, tallow, tall oil, animal fats, and mixtures thereof.
- triglycerides selected from: palm oil, palm kernel oil, palm stearin, coconut oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, soy stearin linseed oil, stearin oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, rape seed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, tung oil, castor oil, fish oil, lard, tallow, tall oil, animal fats, and mixtures thereof.
- the triglyceride component may be hydrogenated to low or very low iodine values ("IV"), thereby resulting in a high degree of saturation. Generally an IV value of below 130 is acceptable; however an IV value of less than 100 is preferred.
- the triglyceride component is present in the anti-dusting formulation in the range of approximately 30% to 90% (w/w). As indicated above, the triglyceride component is preferably highly saturated, and, preferably, has an IV value less than 130. Triglycerides having an IV greater than 130 are generally referred to as "drying oils", which polymerize in the presence of oxygen and become brittle. Although such "drying" is not considered to affect the stability of the formulation, it would reduce its efficiency as an anti-dusting agent.
- linseed oil is considered to be a drying oil.
- Soy oil is considered to be a semi-drying oil (i.e. an oil having an IV between 115 and 130).
- Palm oil is not considered to be a drying oil (i.e. an oil having an IV less than 115).
- the triglyceride used in the formulation of the invention is refined, bleached and de-odorized ("RBD") as opposed to a crude product. Such a RBD product was found to result in a more stable formulation.
- the surfactant of the formulation, component (c), comprises a lignin based material such as lignosulphonic acid. More preferably, this component comprises an anionic sodium or ammonium salt of a lignosulphonic acid (i.e. a lignosulphonate).
- lignosulphonates are generally obtained as the by-product of the sulphite method for manufacturing paper from wood pulp. They are water soluble polymeric compounds and ⁇ eneraliv do not exhibit the amphophilic structure of conventional surfactants. Even though they are anionic in nature, they are characterized by a high stability to changes in pH and electrolytic contamination.
- the surfactant component is present in the anti-dusting formulation in the range of 4% to 8% (w/w; i.e. dry weight of lignosulphonate / total product).
