Application of Modified Lignosulfonates in Adhesives for Insulation Board Manufacture Based on Mineral Wool

Abstract
Extensive laboratory investigations and mill scale trials confirmed the applicability of ultrafiltrated high molecular weight Ca-ligno-sulfonates in adhesive composition with phenolic resin for insulation board manufacture based on mineral wool. Insulation materials produced with adhesive components with a formulation of lignosulfonate/PF resin between 10/90 and 30/70 have appropriate technical and commercial properties.
