Abstract
Abstract An asbestos-free gasket forming composition is disclosed. The composition is preferably produced by removing water from an aqueous furnish composition comprising phenolic fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers, an inorganic or cork filler, a synthetic rubber binder, and a water insoluble hydroxide produced from a soluble salt selected from the group consisting of aluminum salts, ferric salts and stannic salts, by reaction with a sufficient amount of an alkaline hydroxide to provide a furnish pH within the range of from about 6 to about 10, and preferably of from about 7 to 8.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
An asbestos-free gasket forming composition in weight parts per 100 parts of the total fiber and filler weight about 3 to 60 parts phenolic fibers having lengths of within about 1 mm to about 15 mm: about 5 to 50 parts aramid fibers; about 10 to 80 parts of at least one inorganic filler or cork filler; and 10 to 40 parts add-on of a synthetic rubber binder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1 further comprising from about 0.2 to about 2 weight parts add-on of a latex antioxidant.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said at least one inorganic filler is selected from the group consisting of paper filler clay, wollastonite, talc, calcium carbonate, mica, and diatomaceous earth.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein the inorganic filler is paper filler clay.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 1 further comprising up to about 50 weight parts ceramic fiber per 100 parts of the total fiber and filler weight.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
An asbestos-free gasket forming composition comprising in weight parts per 100 parts of the total fiber and filler weight about 5 to 25 parts phenolic fibers having lengths of within about 1 mm to about 15 mm; about 10 to 25 parts aramid fibers; about 40 to 70 parts of at least one inorganic fiber or cork filler; and 10 to 40 parts added-on of a synthetic rubber binder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
69 words
An asbestos-free gasket forming composition comprising in weight parts per 100 parts of the total fiber and filler weight about 5 to 25 parts phenolic fibers having lengths of within about 1 mm to about 15 mm; about 10 to 25 parts aramid fibers; about 40 to 70 parts of at least one inorganic fiber or cork filler; and 10 to 40 parts added-on of a synthetic rubber binder.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
98 words
A beater saturated, water-laid asbestos-free, rubberized gasket forming composition produced by removing water from an aqueous furnish composition comprising phenolic fibers having lengths of within about 1 mm to about 15 mm, aramid fibers, at least one inorganic filler or cork filler, a synthetic rubber binder, a soluble salt selected from a group consisting of aluminum salts, ferric salts and stannic salts, and a sufficient amount of a alkaline hydroxide to provide a furnish pH within the range of from about 6 to 10, said alkaline hydroxide serving to convert said soluble salt to a water insoluble hydroxide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
98 words
A beater saturated, water-laid asbestos-free, rubberized gasket forming composition produced by removing water from an aqueous furnish composition comprising phenolic fibers having lengths of within about 1 mm to about 15 mm, aramid fibers, at least one inorganic filler or cork filler, a synthetic rubber binder, a soluble salt selected from a group consisting of aluminum salts, ferric salts and stannic salts, and a sufficient amount of a alkaline hydroxide to provide a furnish pH within the range of from about 6 to 10, said alkaline hydroxide serving to convert said soluble salt to a water insoluble hydroxide.
