A method for preparing optical fibers formed with high-particle-coated porous polymeric outer coating layer is provided. The method includes preparing a coating suspension solution by dispersing a plurality of particles into an organic solvent system, immersing one or more optical fibers into the coating suspension solution, removing the one or more optical fibers from the coating suspension solution to form high-particle-coated porous polymeric outer coating layer after drying. Concentrations and compositions of the particles in the coating suspension solution, concentrations and compositions of the organic solvent system, the period of time of immersing, or the external environment are adjusted such that the optical fibers is formed with high-particle-coated polymeric outer coating layers having desirable coating masses, coating thicknesses, or coating morphologies.

Embodiments generally relate to devices and methods for production of fibers and threads for use in electronic device manufacturing. Described here, fibers can be produced and manipulated using a dual-surfaced sizing material. The dual-surfaced sizing material has a surface which binds a fiber and a surface which binds a resin. Thus, the dual-surfaced sizing material can be left attached to the fibers without adversely affecting the resin binding in later production steps.

The present invention relates to a sizing composition for mineral fibers, especially glass fibers or rock fibers, containing a liquid phenolic resin having a free formaldehyde content, expressed with respect to the total weight of liquid, of 0.1% or less and an extender.

Preferably, the liquid phenolic resin is mainly composed of phenol-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde-amine condensates and has a water dilutability, at 20° C., at least equal to 1000%.

Another subject of the present invention is the insulating products based on mineral fibers treated by said sizing composition.

The present invention provides a transparent ABS resin composition which enables a production of a molded article retaining an excellent mechanical strength without decreasing the transparency and opacity, containing: based on a total mass of the transparent ABS resin composition, 70 to 98% by mass of a transparent ABS resin; and 2 to 30% by mass of a glass filler. The glass filler contains, based on a total mass of the glass filler, 55 to 60% by mass of silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2), 10 to 15% by mass of aluminium oxide (Al.sub.2O.sub.3), 18 to 22% by mass of calcium oxide (CaO), 2 to 8% by mass of boron oxide (B.sub.2O.sub.3), 0.01 to 1% by mass of magnesium oxide (MgO), and 0.01 to 1% by mass of sodium oxide (Na.sub.2O) or potassium oxide (K.sub.2O). The mass ratio of calcium oxide to silicon dioxide (CaO/SiO.sub.2) in the glass filler is 0.36 to 0.40.

The invention relates to a method of making an insulation product and a novel insulation product, wherein the insulation product is made by adhering a facing to at least one major surface of a batt of man-made vitreous fibres in a matrix comprising a binder by the use of an adhesive and curing the adhesive. The adhesive is an aqueous composition which comprises a component (i) in form of one or more oxidized lignins; a component (ii) in form of one or more cross-linkers; a component (iii) in form of one or more plasticizers.

A method and a mineral wool product include a multiple of lamellae, such as a sandwich panel core. The product includes a plurality of lamellae cut from a mineral wool web, and bonded together by applying an adhesive on the surfaces of two adjacent lamellae to form a web-like product, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.
