Abstract
Abstract A glass fiber mat having excellent tensile strength and flexibility is provided herein. The mat includes a plurality of glass fibers and a binder therefor which is characterized by comprising about 25% to 90% by weight of a urea-formaldehyde resin and about 10% to 75% by weight of a styrene-butadiene latex copolymer containing about 0.1% to 5% by weight of an acrylamide type monomer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A glass fiber mat having excellent tensile strength and flexibility properties consisting essentially of a plurality of glass fibers and a binder to hold said fibers together, characterized in that said binder comprises about 25% to 90% by weight of urea-formaldehyde resin and about 10% to 75% by weight of a styrene-butadiene latex compolymer containing about 0.1% to 5% by weight of acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide, or N-methylolmethacrylamide, or mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A glass fiber mat having excellent tensile strength and flexibility properties consisting essentially of a plurality of glass fibers and a binder to hold said fibers together, characterized in that said binder comprises about 25% to 90% by weight of urea-formaldehyde resin and about 10% to 75% by weight of a styrene-butadiene latex compolymer containing about 0.1% to 5% by weight of acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide, or N-methylolmethacrylamide, or mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said urea-formaldehyde resin comprises about 50% to 85% and said styrene-butadiene latex copolymer about 15% to 50% of said binder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said urea-formaldehyde resin comprises about 80% and said styrene-butadiene latex compolymer about 20% of said binder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said styrene-butadiene latex copolymer comprises about 10% to 90% by weight styrene and about 90% to 10% by weight butadiene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said styrene-butadiene latex copolymer comprises about 30% to 70% styrene and about 70 to 30% butadiene.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said styrene-butadiene latex copolymer comprises about 40% styrene and 60% butadiene, and about 2% by weight thereof of N-methylolacrylamide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said acrylamide is present in an amount of about 1% to 4% by weight of said styrene-butadiene.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said binder is cured.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 8 wherein said curing is effected by heating the wet glass mat with binder applied at an elevated temperature.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 wherein said urea-formaldehyde resin contains a methylol group.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
A glass fiber mat according to claim 1 further characterized by having a porosity sufficient to impregnate asphalt therein.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
