Re: Test No. 3475-2
Gentlem.:
Samles of insulating materials were sent to this laboratory for test.
The samples consisted of the following materials:
1. Mineral Wool Insulating Slock
11. Monoseal - Mix #A 111. Moooseal - Mix #B
Moooseal Mixes (by Tfeight)
MineraSlool 100 parts
Asbestos
22 parts
Bentonite
28 parts
Calcined
Diatomaceous
Earth
56 parts
Lumrdte
Cement
150 parts
Mix *A"
15 parts
Calcined Diatomaceous
Earth
2 parts
The mineral wool block ms cut into sections approximately 2" x 1" x 6" and the Uonoaeal mixes were wet with enough water so that they could be molded into block 1* x 1* x 6. These blocks were allomd to set for 24 hours and then dried*
The molded blocks and cut sections were placed in an electric kiln, brought up to a temperature of 1100 7. overnight. The next morning the temperature was raised to 1200 7. and held there for 20 minutes, after which the first test block of mineral wool ms removed from the
furnace and cooled in air.
Other sarnies of each mix were taken from the furnace, in the same
manner, at intervals of 1400, 1600, 1300 and 2000 7. All samples received identical heat treatment as indicated for the 1200 F. temperature except for one sample of mineral wool. This test block was placed in the furnace at 1800 0 7. and removed at the 2000 tempera ture interval.
No visible change took place in any of the smaples tested except for a change in color and a slight linear shrinkage.
