Abstract
Abstract Sheet products are made from amino-aldehyde, e.g. urea-formaldehyde, resin fibres in admixture with other non-cellulosic fibres, e.g. glass fibres, and optionally cellulosic fibres. Multiply products may be made from plies having the above constitution and plies of, for example, amino-aldehyde resin fibres, alone or in admixture with cellulosic and/or non-cellulosic fibres. The paper-like sheet materials may be used e.g. as filter papers. Laminated products may be made by pressing at an elevated temperature, a stack of plies of paper made from a mixture of amino-aldehyde resin fibres and another fibrous material, e.g. cellulosic fibres.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A method of making a laminated sheet product comprising the steps of: (a) forming fibers from an amino-aldehyde resin; (b) curing said fibers by heating at between 80° C. and 200° C. until said fibers have a degree of cure between 50% and 96%; (c) forming said cured fibers, in admixture with fibers other than amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure below 96%, into paper, the fibrous material of said paper containing 10% to 90% by weight of said amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure between 50% and 96%; (d) forming a stack containing superimposed plies of said paper; and (e) pressing said stack at a temperature of at least 100° C., the pressing conditions being such that said amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure between 50% and 96% fuse to bond together adjacent plies.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
141 words
A method of making a laminated sheet product comprising the steps of: (a) forming fibers from an amino-aldehyde resin; (b) curing said fibers by heating at between 80° C. and 200° C. until said fibers have a degree of cure between 50% and 96%; (c) forming said cured fibers, in admixture with fibers other than amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure below 96%, into paper, the fibrous material of said paper containing 10% to 90% by weight of said amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure between 50% and 96%; (d) forming a stack containing superimposed plies of said paper; and (e) pressing said stack at a temperature of at least 100° C., the pressing conditions being such that said amino-aldehyde resin fibers having a degree of cure between 50% and 96% fuse to bond together adjacent plies.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the plies are free of any thermosetting resin impregnant.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the amino-aldehyde resin fibres have a degree of cure in the range 75 to 93%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous material of the paper plies contains 20 to 65% by weight of amino-aldehyde resin fibres.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the stack is pressed at 120° to 200° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the stack is pressed at a pressure of 10 to 500 kg cm -2 .
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the paper plies, before pressing, contain at least 10% by weight of water, based on the weight of the fibrous material in the paper plies.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 7 wherein the stack is pressed against a gas permeable member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein the gas permeable member is a felt pad or a wire mesh.
