Eco-Friendly Innovation Formaldehyde-Free Mineral Fiber Binders

In the domain of mineral fiber applications, the advent of formaldehyde-free insulation binders represents a pivotal shift. Traditional binders, such as phenolic resins used in glass wool products, while offering strength and performance benefits, unfortunately, contain harmful substances like free formaldehyde, urea, and phenol. The perils of formaldehyde are extensive, from respiratory damage and allergy exacerbation to increased cancer risks and a plethora of associated symptoms. Its volatility commences at 19°C, with a persistent 3 - 15-year evaporation cycle, lurking within various materials and posing long-term health hazards.

Enter LINTEC's waterborne formaldehyde-free insulation binders, spearheading a revolutionary change. These binders, part of the advanced ECOSET series, are aqueous-based and environmentally benign, completely devoid of formaldehyde and VOCs. They exhibit remarkable properties, including superior bonding strength, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and stain resistance. Even under the rigors of 200°C curing, they maintain their integrity, ensuring high bonding efficacy and fiber yield across diverse glass wool densities. Notably, models like ECOSET 2020 offer additional advantages such as anti-precuring capabilities and color preservation.

 

Moreover, LINTEC's glass fiber filter paper binders, also formaldehyde-free and VOC-free, are water-soluble heat-curable resins. Upon curing, they possess outstanding hardness, stiffness, and adhesion to a multitude of materials. Their zero formaldehyde and VOC content precisely meets the market's burgeoning demand for pure, odorless, and sustainable products. This paradigm shift not only safeguards human health but also ushers in a new era of green manufacturing within the industry, heralding a future where eco-friendly binders redefine the standards of quality and sustainability.
