FIBER PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Description of the project: Fiber is a solid monolithic material obtained by gluing and pressing several layers of base paper treated with a parchment reagent.

There are 10 types of fiber that differ in properties and pur
pose: – for the manufacture of extra str
ong parts; – as oxygen-resistant gaske
ts; – for thermal i
nsulation; – for seals in the joints of metal structures and pipeline
s; – for the manufacture of machine parts
and devices; – as an electrical insulating
material ; – as a structural material.

The leading foreign manufacturers of fiber are: USA (4 enterprises), Germany (1 enterprise), China (1), Russia (1) and Ukraine (3).

Specific properties of fiber depending on the production technol
ogy: – increased fire resi
stance; – ultra-high mechanical streng
th; – low density (1.2-1.5 g / cm3 according to DIN 7737 and 1.1-1.2 g / cm3 according t
o TU 5458- 835-0248643-92); – fiber products withst
and pressure up
to 40.0 MPa; – elasticity; – high d
ielectric strength; – unsurpassed arc
suppression properties; – easily molded into pro
ducts of various shapes; – easily processed mechanically: it can be sawed, cut , planing, drilling, milling, turning on lathes, applying any profile thread, grinding, polishing, etc. –
does not dissolve in kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, acetone, mercury, etc.

Benefits:

In terms of physical and mechanical indicators, fiber is superior to textolite, getinax and some plastics, but it is much cheaper and has a number of the above specific pr
operties. In terms of strength and durability, fiber can replace metal products and metal parts used in them.

Results achieved: practical recommendations have been developed for organizing serial low-tonnage production of domestic fiber:
