Description
MAN-MADE VITREOUS FIBERS (MMVF) - Edouard Bastarache
Article
Introduction :
Man-made vitreous fibers (MMVF) or synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs) are a class of insulating materials used widely in residential and industrial settings; they are made primarily from glass, rock, slag or clay. The three general categories are fiberglass, mineral wool , and refractory ceramic fibers.
In some situations, SVF materials can release fine, airborne dust particles, some of which are small enough to be respirable. Thus, workers may be exposed to SVF fibers by dermal contact and/or by inhalation.
Fibrous particles having long, thin geometry present a special problem to the resiratory tract; because fibers are thin, they can penetrate into the deep lung and, because they are long, mobile lung cells may have difficulty in removing them.
The three general categories may be divided in the following manner :
A-Fiber Glass :
1-Glass Wool,
2-Continuous Filament
B-Mineral Wool :
1-Rock Wool,
2-Slag Wool.
C-Refactory Ceramic Fibers :
1-Pure Oxides
2-Kaolin.
