Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new aqueous curable binder composition comprising a polyphenolic macromolecular compound which bears a multitude of catechol radicals (dihydroxybenzene), preferably lignosulfonate salts and condensed tannins and mixtures thereof, and a polyamine functional compound comprising primary and/or secondary and/or tertiary and/or quaternary amine functional groups, suitable for bonding particulate matter, such as fibers, more particularly mineral wool fibers, or particles, such as wood particles.

Claim (Index 11):
A process for the manufacturing an assembly of fibers or particles characterized in that a combination of (i) an aqueous composition of a polyphenolic macromolecular compound which bears a multitude of phenol or polyhydroxybenzene radicals, such as catechol radicals (dihydroxybenzene), preferably lignosulfonate salts and condensed tannins and mixtures thereof, and (ii) an aqueous composition of a polyamine functional compound comprising primary and/or secondary and/or tertiary and/or quaternary amine functional groups, is applied sequentially or simultaneously onto a collection of fibers or particles such that the ratio of polyphenolic macromolecular compound to polyamine functional compound ranges from 98:2 to 50:50, preferably 98:2 to 70:30 w %, more preferably from 95:5 to 80:20 w %, or an aqueous binder composition according to  claim 1  is applied onto a collection of fibers or particles, in that the coated fibers or particles are gathered in an assembly and subjected to curing conditions whereby the polyphenolic macromolecular compound and the polyamine functional compound are caused to react to form a macromolecular binder and water is evaporated.
