Abstract

The production of mineral fiber felt into which an additional product is introduced. The felt is made partly of freshly formed fibers and partly of recycled fibers which are conveyed into a receiving chamber in which the felt is formed. The additional product is introduced with the recycled fibers. One advantageous application includes applying a surface active agent to the recycled edges to form a supporting material for hydroponic culture.
