Non-woven matrix of glass and synthetic fibres

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A non-woven matrix of glass and synthetic fibers provides a rigid but resilient product having good strength and insulating characteristics. The matrix consists of glass fibers and synthetic fibers such as polyester nylon, or Kevlar which have been shredded and intimately combined with a thermosetting resin into a homogeneous mixture. A conductive material in either particulate or fibrous form is added to improve surface finish and if desired and, depending upon the choice of conductive material darken, the appearance of the product. This mixture is dispersed to form a blanket. The product may be utilized in a planar configuration or be further formed into complexly curved and shaped …
