Fiberous glass joint filler

Where the walls and slabs from the Auxiliary Building intersect the secondary containment, fiberous glass joint filler material has been used to separate the... 

Other. Vinyl acetate resins are useful as antishrinking agents for glass fiber-reinforced polyester mol ding resins (165). Poly(vinyl acetate)s are also used as binders for numerous materials, eg, fibers, leather (qv), asbestos, sawdust, sand, clay, etc, to form compositions that can be shaped with heat and pressure. Joint cements, taping compounds, caulks, and fillers are other uses. 

The adhesive components can also be produced as layers on films or textiles or without carrier materials if they form solid films at room temperature. For this purpose, they are applied warm, in thin layers, or in solute form, to foils and textiles and the carrying materials (preferably made of glass fibers, carbon fibers, or metal netting) are integrated into the bonding joint after the thermosetting process. The adhesive films frequently contain fillers made of A1 oxide, Cu, Ag, Al, etc. 

Polytetrafluoroethylene has a somewhat higher coefficient of expansion than other plastics. This differential expansion can result in leaking of joints when PTFE is combined with other materials. Addition of fillers such as glass, fiber, graphite, bronze, and molybdenum disulfide alters the coefficient of expansion of polytetrafluoroethylene compounds (Table 3.36). A compound containing 25% filler has a coefficient of expansion about half that of the unmodified resin.
