3. Thermal insulating wool
This will be made by the process already established at Gerresheimer
4. Fabrication
Conversion of the fibre made for textiles into yam is accomplished on standard twisting and plying machines. Multiple winding is also done on standard machines. The weaving operation is done at outside points; some fibre is sent to the associated plant at Hamburg-Bergedorf known as Deutsche Kap Asbest. (See Report XXV.
5. Applications of Products
(a) Continuous yarns are multiple wound at Ettlingen for wire covering.
(b) Continuous yarns are woven into cloths by contract and sale outright to others for use in many applications such as varnished electrical tapes, laminated plastic reinforcement, admixture with asbestos for increased yarnstrength and flame-proof curtains.
(c) Staple yarns are adaptable where thicker and more absorbent cloths are used. In Germany they are apparently used to a considerable, extent in combination with asbestos. Such yarns are used for acid filtration cloths. The yarns are also used where bulk is needed as a filler or where thermal insulation is needed.
(d) The glass wool to be made will follow the description and uses of that made previously at Gerresheim. The product will go into all kinds of thermal insulation, such as is used in buildings, pipe covering and the like.
(e) Fibre cloth can be impregnated with plastic and pressed to give a satisfactory mica substitute for electrical insulation purposes.
