Definitions
- the present invention relates to mats, such as mats for mounting ceramic monoliths in vehicles.
- Vehicle exhausts are usually treated to reduce the amount of noxious gases which are emitted to the atmosphere.
- Vehicles typically use a catalytic convertor (CC) such as close coupled or under body petrol or diesel oxidation catalysts or selective catalytic reduction devices.
- CC catalytic convertor
- Vehicles which use diesel as a fuel may be fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce the emission of particles of soot and other materials produced during combustion.
- DPF diesel particulate filter
- Both CCs and DPFs are typically fabricated as ceramic monoliths through which the combustive products pass before they are emitted from the exhaust.
- the ceramic monoliths are fragile and relatively expensive.
- mounting mats may be formed using intumescent or non-intumescent materials. Similar materials may be used for other automotive or other thermal insulation.
- the monolith is located within a metal can mounted as part of a vehicle exhaust system. As combustion products pass through the monolith they heat it, causing the monolith to expand. Of course, the can will also heat and expand. Clearly, as the two materials will heat and expand at different rates, there is a potential for relative movement between the can and the monolith. In the conditions found in a vehicle exhaust system there is also significant vibration which could also cause the monolith to become damaged if not securely held.
- the mounting mats are intended to accommodate differential motion and vibration.
- Non-intumescent materials may include fibres chosen from ceramic or glass fibres, such as silica, borosilicates, alumina (which may include high alumina and aluminosilicates in various Al : Si ratios, for example to provide mullite), zirconia and the like.
- the fibres are usually held in a binder matrix to aid canability, although additional and/or alternative consolidation techniques may be used, e.g. needling.
- the binder may be arranged to decompose and be burned off from the mat so as to allow the mat to adopt a configuration to exert pressure on the monolith and the walls of the can to securely hold the monolith in place during use. It will be appreciated that the holding force will need to be maintained throughout thermal cycling regimes. Another factor which is important is the friction coefficient between the can and the mat and the mat and the monolith. Clearly, if the coefficient of friction is too low, then the mat and/or the monolith may slip relative to the can which may impair performance and/or lead to damage of the monolith. Accordingly, it is desirable to have a mat which is thermally stable and which can compensate for differential expansion rates of the can and monolith whilst maintaining a minimum holding pressure on the monolith, which can absorb or limit the effects of vibration and having suitable friction characteristics.
- the mat should provide a significant resistance to fluid flow therethrough, while in situ between the monolith and the can. This is necessary to ensure that fluid flows preferentially (e.g. exclusively) through the monolith, thereby being exposed to the catalyst or the filter.
- the gap size between the monolith and can may increase.
- automobiles may have a gap size of e.g. 2mm to 5mm.
- Large monoliths such as might be required for large vehicles such as lorries and ships and/or for heavy or agricultural machinery, can require gap sizes between the monoliths and the cans in which they are mounted of, for example, around 15mm to 20mm or larger.
- the mat may also have a heat insulation function, which in some instances is of high importance.
- cans may also reach extremely high and potentially unsafe temperatures without adequate insulation between the can and the monolith. This is of particular importance when a can is positioned such that it may come into contact with e.g. users and/or flammable matter, for example, off-road vehicles such as agricultural machinery may include monoliths carried in cans which may come into contact with plant matter which could be ignited if heated excessively. It is desirable therefore, to keep the temperature of the can below the flash point of such plant material, even when the monolith carried therein maybe at a temperature in excess of 750°C. Indeed, certain agricultural machinery must be made such that no outside parts can reach over 200°C, the flash point of corn.
- a typical problem with high basis weight mats is that the thickness of the mats also imparts a stiffness which makes wrapping the mat around a monolith without damage to, crinkling or cracking of, the mat difficult or impossible.
- the invention comprises a mat for mounting a monolith, the mat comprising a first inorganic fibre layer, where the mat has a front edge intended to form a gas facing edge in use, a rear edge opposite thereto and side edges extending between the front and rear edges, wherein the first inorganic fibre layer at a first side edge of the mat, and/or at a second side edge of the mat is cut at an acute angle to the thickness direction of the mat.
- Such an angled cut has been found to prevent a groove, e.g. a V-shaped groove forming at the side of the monolith when the mat is wrapped around it in use, thereby ensuring that gas flows preferentially through the monolith, while also preventing e.g. increased erosion that may take place at the gas facing edge if a right angled cut mat were stretched at its outer surface to prevent the formation of such a groove.
- the inventors have found that the angled cuts are particularly advantageous at high mat basis weights.
- the mat comprises a second inorganic fibre layer wherein at least a part of a major surface of the first layer is bonded to at least a part of a major surface of the second layer. Bonding may be effected by organic or inorganic adhesive, needling etc.
- the second layer at the first side edge of the mat, and/or the second layer at the second side edge of the mat is cut at an acute angle to the thickness direction of the mat.
- the sum of the cut angles of the first layer at the first and/or second side edges of the mat is between 0° and 90°, for example from 60° to 80°, e.g. 70° to the thickness direction of the mat.
- the sum of the cut angles of the second layer at the first and/or second side edges of the mat is between 0° and 90°, for example from 60° to 80°, e.g. 70° to the thickness direction of the mat.
- the first layer comprises alumina fibres or one or more materials selected from aluminosilicate (e.g. mullite), borosilicate, silica, glass (e.g. E-glass, S-glass or ECR glass), refractory ceramic fibres (RCF), body soluble fibres.
- aluminosilicate e.g. mullite
- borosilicate e.g. borosilicate
- silica e.g. E-glass, S-glass or ECR glass
- RCF refractory ceramic fibres
- the invention provides a mat (e.g. a non-intumescent mat) for mounting a monolith, the mat comprising a first alumina fibre layer and a second inorganic fibre layer wherein at least a part of a major surface of the first layer is bonded to at least a part of a major surface of the second layer.
- a mat e.g. a non-intumescent mat
- the mat comprising a first alumina fibre layer and a second inorganic fibre layer wherein at least a part of a major surface of the first layer is bonded to at least a part of a major surface of the second layer.
- the first layer comprises polycrystalline alumina fibres.
- the second layer comprises fibres of one or more materials selected from the second layer comprises alumina fibres or one or more materials selected from alumina, silica, glass (e.g. E-glass, S-glass or ECR glass), refractory ceramic fibres (RCF).
- alumina fibres or one or more materials selected from alumina, silica, glass (e.g. E-glass, S-glass or ECR glass), refractory ceramic fibres (RCF).
- the first layer preferably provides greater heat insulation per unit volume than the second layer.
- the second layer does not comprise alumina fibres, thereby allowing for a thinner first layer than second layer.
- the relatively thicker second layer may thus make up a greater proportion of the weight of the mat than the first layer.
- silica, glass or RCF fibres may typically be cheaper than, say, alumina fibres
- the laminate mat thus combines the superior insulation properties of, say, alumina fibres with the relatively low cost of other inorganic fibres.
- the first layer is intended to provide a monolith facing layer of the mat.
- the use of an alumina fibre layer adjacent the monolith provides excellent heat insulation properties, which is particularly desired where a silica fibre second layer is provided, as the alumina fibre layer protects the silica fibre layer from excessive heat.
- first layer and/or the second layer comprise nonwoven fibres.
- first layer and/or the second layer comprise fibres having an average diameter between 3 ⁇ and 15 ⁇ , say between 4 ⁇ and 10 ⁇ , e.g. between 5 ⁇ and 7 ⁇ .
- the average diameter of the fibres in the second layer is greater than the average diameter of the fibres in the first layer.
- the mat may comprise further, e.g. third and optional fourth, layers of inorganic fibres.
- the average diameter of the fibres in the further layers may be the same or greater than the average diameter of the fibres in one or both of the first and second layers.
- the mat has a basis weight of 500 to 15000 gm “2 , e.g. 1000 to 6000 gm “2 , for instance between 3500 gm “2 and 5500 gm “2 , say 5000 gm "2 .
- the mat has a basis weight of 3000 to 10000 gm “2 , e.g. 4000 to 8000 gm “ 2 , for instance between 5000 gm “2 and 6000 gm “2 , say 5500 gm “2 .
- the first and second layers may have the same or different basis weights.
- the first layer has a basis weight of around 100 to 5000 gm "2 and the second layer have a basis weight of around 100 to 7000 gm "2 , for example the first layer may have a basis weight of around 1000 to 3000 gm "2 and the second layer may have a basis weight of around 2000 to 7000 gm "2 , where the basis weight of the first layer may be the same as or different to the basis weight of the second layer.
- the first and second layers are secured together by securing means. More preferably, the securing means extend from the front edge of the mat to the rear edge of the mat.
- the provision of securing means which extends from the front edge to the rear edge of the mat ensures that the mat undergoes a minimal level of wrinkling or buckling in the region of the securing means when it is wrapped around a monolith and stuffed into a can.
- the securing means comprises an adhesive.
- the adhesive may comprise an inorganic sol, e.g. a silica or alumina sol.
- the adhesive comprises an adhesive web, e.g. a polyester based thermoplastic web with a melting point in the range of 110-130°C.
- the adhesive comprises polyvinyl acetate (PVA).
- the adhesive comprises starch.
- the adhesive comprises a polymerisable material e.g. heat polymerisable materials such as acrylates and crosslinkable acrylates and saccharides.
- polymerisable material we mean a material which may form chemical bonds or links with itself or a different species.
- the adhesive may comprise a pressure sensitive adhesive.
- the adhesive is arranged in a plurality of regions between the major surfaces of the first and second layers.
- the adhesive preferably has a shear strength over an area of 25 cm 2 of at least 4N, preferably at least 8N, e.g. between 8 N and 30 N so as to provide the necessary force to secure the two in use.
- first and second layers are bonded by needling.
- the interface between the major surfaces of the layers is smaller than one or both of the major surfaces, e.g. the first layer and the second layer are offset with respect to one another.
- At least one of the major surface areas of the second layer is at least equal to, or preferably greater than the major surface areas of the first layer.
- the width of the second layer is greater than the width of the first layer.
- the two layers are, at rest, discontinuously in contact with one another, e.g. such that the second layer is attached to the first layer such that the mat forms a bow shape.
- the first layer is divided into a plurality of, e.g. two, pieces. The provision of the first layer in two pieces allows the mat to be stored in a flat condition and then assembled into a bow shape prior to installation.
- the pieces of the first layer comprise a recessed portion for receiving a corresponding projected portion of an adjacent piece or a projecting portion for being received in a corresponding recessed portion of an adjacent piece.
- the first layer is attached to the second layer at one side edge, the other side edge being unattached.
- the mat comprises attachment means for attaching the first layer to the second layer at the other side edge, e.g. to create a bow shaped mat, prior to installation.
- the attachment means comprises a portion of adhesive tape or a region of adhesive on the first and/or second layer, say, covered with a removable tab or release liner.
- a first side edge of the mat comprises a recessed portion for receiving a corresponding projected portion at a second side edge of the mat when the mat encircles a monolith in use.
- the first and/or second layer at the or a first side edge of the mat, and/or the first and/or second layer at the or a second side edge of the mat is cut at an acute angle to the thickness direction of the mat, for example to give the mat and/or each layer a trapezoidal cross section.
- the sum of the cut angles of the first layer at the first and/or second side edges of the mat is between 0° and 90°, for example from 60° to 80°, e.g. 70° to the thickness direction of the mat.
- the sum of the cut angles of the second layer at the first and/or second side edges of the mat is 60° to 80°, e.g. 70° to the thickness direction of the mat.

- the mat 10 has a front edge 10A, a back edge 10B and side edges IOC, 10D and comprises a inner layer 12 secured to a outer layer 14 by means of an adhesive 16.
- the mat 10 is intended to be wrapped around a monolith 30, in use, such that the front edge 10A aligns with the leading edge of the monolith 30.
- the inner layer 12, intended to be positioned adjacent the can in use, comprises a needled nonwoven silica fibre mat.
- the outer layer 14, intended to be positioned adjacent the monolith in use, is comprised of non-woven alumina fibres and includes an organic, e.g. latex, binder which helps to maintain its structural integrity during handling.
- the total organic content of the mat 10, including the binder, is around 2.2 w/w%.
- the thickness T s of the inner layer 12 is around three times that of the thickness T A of the outer layer 14.
- the adhesive 16 comprises a PVA adhesive, such as may be applied by means of an aqueous solution.
- the adhesive 16 is arranged in a regular or random array or arrays of spots at the interface 24 between the inner layer 12 and the outer layer 14.
- a first array 16a is positioned toward a first side edge IOC of the mat
- a second array 16b is positioned in a portion 22 approximately half way along the mat
- a third array 16c is positioned toward the second side edge 10D of the mat.
- the inner and outer layers 12, 14 are offset with respect to one another.
- the inner layer 12 is secured atop the outer layer 14 such that the inner layer 12 directly overlays and aligns with the outer layer 14 along the front edge 10A and back edge 10B of the mat, but is staggered in the width direction, the width direction intended to be circumferential to the monolith 30 in use.
- a notch 26 is cut into the mat 10 for receiving a corresponding tongue 28 positioned at the second side edge 10D of the mat 10 when the mat is wrapped around a monolith 39, thereby helping to secure the mat 10 in place before canning.
- the end 32 of the tongue 28, the inner edge 34 of the notch 26 and the first side IOC and the second side 10D of the inner and outer layers 12, 14 are cut on a slant such that the width of the inner 12 and outer 14 layers is greater in the outer, can-facing surfaces than in their inner, monolith facing surfaces, each of the inner 12 and outer 14 layers thereby having a trapezoidal cross section.
- These slant cuts allow the mat 10 to be effectively wrapped around the monolith 30 and secured in place without leaving a typical V-shaped aperture 31 along the principal axis of the monolith 30 typical of straight-ended mats (see Figure 2).
- the sum of the slant angles C and a 2 at each side edge of the outer layer is around 70° and the sum of the slant angles ⁇ and ⁇ 2 at each side edge of the inner layer is around 35°.
- the angle of that slant is around 70°.
- the average width of the inner layer 12 is greater than that of the outer layer 14, the monolith facing surface 38 of the inner layer being substantially equal in width to the can facing surface 40 of the outer layer 14.
- the difference in width of the two layers 12, 14, particularly when combined with the slant cuts at the side edges of the mat 10 ensure that the mat completely encircles the monolith 30 in use, providing an effective holding pressure and preventing flow of gas other than through the monolith 30 itself.
- Figure IB shows a view of the second side edge 10B of the mat 10.
- the front edge 10A and the back edge 10B of the inner layer 12 are also cut on a slant, such that the inner layer has a substantially rhomboid cross section, the slant cut edges 10A, 10B of the inner layer 12 each forming an angle ⁇ with the thickness direction of the mat.
- This arrangement ensures that when the mat 10 is canned in a direction A (relative to a static can) with a monolith by hard stuffing into a can of similar (or even smaller) diameter, with the front edge 10A of the mat 10 acting as the leading edge, the inner layer 12 is stretched into alignment and a substantially rectangular shape by friction forces on the internal walls of the can. In turn, this ensures a substantially uniform density of the mat 10 around the monolith in use.
- this feature could be applied to any mat, whether a laminate or single layered mat.
- laminate mats may have one some or all of their layers slant cut in this manner.
- the slant cuts are provided such that the mat has a substantially rhomboid cross section
- the cuts may be of differing shapes (e.g. stepped, parabolic or otherwise curved), provided that the front edge 10A of the mat 10 effectively protrudes from the mat at its intended outer face and the rear edge 10B of the mat effectively recedes (e.g. by substantially the same amount) at its intended outer face.
- This feature may be additionally or alternatively provided by using a longer (in the intended axial direction, i.e. between their respective front 10A and rear 10B edges) inner layer 12 than outer layer 14, to offer a protruding portion of the inner layer 12 at the front edge 10A and/or offsetting the layers 12, 14 to provide a protruding portion of the inner layer 12 at the front edge 10A and a protruding portion of the outer layer 14 at the rear edge 10B.
- the mat 10 is preferably made by application of the adhesive 16 to the surface of the inner layer 12 or outer layer 14, placing the outer layer 14 or the inner layer 12 thereupon, as appropriate, aligned as described above.
- the combined inner and outer layers 12, 14 are then placed in a hot press and held at 0.2 GBD at 180°C (such that the interface 24 temperature is not allowed to exceed 140°C) for 1 to 20 minutes.
- the mat may substantially hold this shape after curing, as is shown in Figure 6.
- the adhesive may be a 0.01 w/w% to 50 w/w% aqueous PVA solution, having a viscosity between IcP and lOOOOcP (as measured on a Brookfieid DV-II rheometer set at 30rpm), which may be a ready made solution or made by dissolving thermoplastic PVA fibres in hot water.
- the solution is applied on the surface of the inner layer 12 or the outer layer 14 in a first array 16a is positioned toward a first side 18 of the mat, a second array 16b is positioned in a portion 22 approximately half way along the mat and a third array 16c is positioned toward the second side 20 of the mat.
- More concentrated PVA solutions are preferred when the inner layer 12 comprises silica fibres.
- the outer layer comprises alumina or alumina silica fibres
- lower concentration PVA solutions e.g. 0.01 w/w% to 10 w/w% may be preferred.
- adhesives may provide appropriate means for securing the inner layer 12 to the outer layer 14.
- adhesives may include starch (e.g. starch wallpaper paste), thermoplastic web such as Bostik (RTM) 30 GSM (available from Bostik Limited) and pressure sensitive adhesives.
- RTM Bostik
- Such a thermoplastic web may, for example, be continuously fed between lines of inner 12 and outer 14 layers e.g. by sets of optionally heated nip rollers. The inner 12 and outer 14 layers may then be pressed into a laminate e.g. by further sets of optionally heated nip rollers.
- the monolith 30 When fitting the mat 10 around a monolith 30, the monolith 30 is placed on the outer layer 14 and the mat 10 is wound around the monolith 30, being secured by fitting the tongue 28 into the notch 26.
- a quantity of adhesive tape or further liquid adhesive may be used to further secure together the first side 18 of the mat 10 and the second side 20 of the mat 10.
- the monolith 30 wrapped in the mat 10 may then be canned by known stuffing methods, loaded into a clamshell can, or by any other method as known by those skilled in the art.

- a mat 400 comprises a inner layer 402 comprising alumina fibres and a outer layer 404 formed from silica fibres and comprising a plurality of discrete sections 406, the side edges 406a, 406b of which are shaped to interlock with each other.
- each section 406 of the outer layer 404 is adhered to the inner layer 402.
- the outer silica fibre layer 404 is longer than the inner alumina fibre layer 402, enabling an effective fit when wrapped around a monolith.
- tongue and notch sections and slanted cut edges may be provided, as described above.
- the provision of the outer layer 404 in a plurality of sections 406 allows for improved flexibility of the mat 400 while each section 406 is individually adhered to the inner layer 402, thereby also reducing the likelihood of telescoping.
- a mat 300 is comprised of an inner alumina fibre layer 302 and an outer silica fibre layer 304.
- the outer layer 304 is longer than the inner layer by a length of approximately 2TT times the total thickness of the mat.
- the interfacing surfaces 306, 308 of the inner layer 302 and the outer layer 304 are adhered to each other in the region of side edges 302a, 302b, 304a, 304b of the layers such that those side edges 302a, 302b, 304a, 304b directly overlay each other.
- This adhesion arrangement causes the mat 300 to bow, providing for easier wrapping around a monolith.
- the gap 310 between the inner layer 302 and the outer layer 304 narrows, providing a snug fit around the monolith.
- the arcing of the mat in its unwrapped form imparts good flexibility, at least in part because the two layers 302, 304 are unable to support (and thus stiffen) each other as they would do when in direct interfacial contact.
- this mat 300 may be provided to the user when the inner 302 and outer 304 layers are secured together at only one of the side edges 302a, 302b, 304a, 304b, and securing means such as a portion of adhesive tape may be used to secure together the other of the side edges 302a, 302b, 304a, 304b of the mat 300.
- the inner layer 302 may be provided in two parts 306a, 306b, securable together by engaging a projecting portion 308a of the first part 306a with a corresponding recessed portion 308b on the second part 306b.
- the inner 302 and outer 304 layers are also adhered to each other in a central region 312 of the mat 300. This causes a double bowing of the mat and provides both the desired flexibility and reduces telescoping when the mat is canned by stuffing .

- the segments are shaped to each include interengagable tongues 104 and notches (106) at their side edges 108a, 108b. Moreover, the side edges are each shaped to define an angle of 35° with the thickness direction of the complete mat (i.e. the radial direction). When the segments 102 are brought together, a cylindrical mat 100 is formed.
- the segments 102 are formed by slurrying alumina fibres with pulp and an organic binder (e.g. latex) and up to 60 w/w% alumina sol.
- the organic binder optionally has a high Tg, e.g. between -20°C and 60°C.
- the slurry is added to a mould dimensioned to provide a cylindrical segment having an internal diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the monolith 30 and a circumference portion of one fifth of the circumference of the monolith 30.

- the finished segments can be stacked for ease and efficiency of storage and transport.
- the segments 102 may be arranged around the outside of the monolith 30, thereby encircling the monolith 30 to provide a complete cylindrical mat 100, the tongues 104 each engaging the notches 106 of the adjacent segment 102.
- the segments 102 may, if necessary, be secured in place by a quantity of adhesive tape, or by tying with metallic, plastic or textile ties, e.g. straps.
- the monolith 30 and mat 100 may then be loaded into the can by e.g. stuffing or by a clamshell arrangement, as is understood by those skilled in the art. As the mat does not comprise a laminate material, it is less susceptible to problems of stuffing such as mat telescoping.
