Production Process

A glass batch incorporating about fifteen raw components, such as sand, soda ash, limestone, etc., are stored in silos, weighted, mixed and poured into the furnace by a batch feeder.
The melting process of the verifiable mix takes place in a flame furnace heated to about 1400°C. The melted glass is the temperature conditioned in the fore-hearth before being fiberized into the final glass fibers.
After being coated with binder, the fibers are laid out in a thick pack on a moving conveyor.
The variable speed of the conveyor belt permits the manufacture of different densities of the finished products.
The conveyor carries the resin-impregnated fibers into the curing oven where the resin is cured.
After curing the resin, the product is trimmed with circular saws.
The manufacturing process is completed by the possible adhesion of either vapour barrier aluminum facing or a bonded mat and by finally cutting the blanket to the required length.
