Abstract

The present invention provides a glass fiber board comprising a glass fiber and an inorganic binder, wherein the inorganic binder comprises an aluminum phosphate.
The present invention provides a method for preparing the glass fiber board comprising (a) preparing an inorganic binder solution comprising an aluminum phosphate (b) applying the inorganic binder solution comprising the aluminum phosphate to a glass fiber; (c) compressing the glass fiber to which the inorganic binder solution comprising the aluminum phosphate is applied; and (d) drying the compressed glass fiber.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A glass fiber board comprising:
a glass fiber, wherein a mean diameter of the glass fiber ranges from 4 to 6 μm; and
an aluminum phosphate inorganic binder, wherein the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder is formed with an aluminum precursor and a phosphorus precursor,
wherein the aluminum precursor comprises aluminum acetate,
wherein a particle sized of the aluminum precursor ranges from 2 nm to 10 nm, and
wherein an atomic ratio of P/Al of the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder ranges from 3 to 50,

wherein the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder is present in an amount ranging from 0.05 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weigh of the glass fiber,
wherein the glass fiber board is prepared by applying the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder to the glass fiber, compressing the glass fiber to which the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder is applied, and drying the compressed glass fiber,
wherein the glass fiber board is a glass fiber board for a core member of a vacuum heat insulation material.

2. A glass fiber board according to claim 1 , wherein
the aluminum precursor further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydroxide, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum halide, and
the phosphorus precursor comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of phosphate, monoammonium phosphate (NH 4 H 2 PO 4 ), diammonium phosphate ((NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 ), triethyl phosphine ((C 2 H 5 ) 3 P), and trimethyl phosphine ((CH 3 ) 3 P).

3. A method for preparing a glass fiber board, wherein the glass fiber board is a glass fiber board for a core member of a vacuum heat insulation material, the method comprises:
(a) preparing an inorganic binder comprising an aluminum phosphate,
wherein the aluminum phosphate is prepared from an aluminum precursor and a phosphorus precursor,
wherein the aluminum precursor comprises aluminum acetate,
wherein a particle size of the aluminum precursor ranges from 2 nm to 10 nm, and
wherein an atomic ratio of P/Al of the aluminum phosphate ranges from 3 to 50;

(b) applying the inorganic binder comprising the aluminum phosphate to a glass fiber,
wherein the glass fiber has a mean diameter ranging from 4 to 6 μm,
wherein the inorganic binder is present in an amount ranging from 0.05 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weigh of the glass fiber;

(c) compressing the glass fiber to which the inorganic binder comprising the aluminum phosphate is applied;
(d) drying the compressed glass fiber.

4. A method for preparing a glass fiber board according to claim 3 , wherein the step (a) comprises a step to heat-treat at temperatures of 150° C. or over.

5. A method for preparing a glass fiber board according to claim 4 , wherein the aluminum precursor further comprises aluminum nitrate.

6. A method for preparing a glass fiber board according to claim 3 , wherein the compressing in step (c) is performed with a pressure of 2.0 to 2.4 Kg/cm 2 .

7. A method for preparing a glass fiber board according to claim 3 , wherein the drying in step (d) is performed for 10 to 20 minutes at temperatures of 200 to 400° C.

8. The glass fiber board according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum phosphate inorganic binder consists of the aluminum precursor, the phosphorus precursor, and water.
