Abstract

The invention relates to "two-component" inorganic fibers obtained by conjoint fiber formation from two different inorganic compositions, especially two glass compositions based on SiO.sub.2, alkali metal oxides and alkaline-earth metal oxides; PA0 the two inorganic compositions have thermal expansion coefficients .alpha. exhibiting a difference .DELTA..alpha. of at least 20.times.10.sup.7 K.sup.-1, PA0 they have a minimum viscosity temperature of fiber formation T.sub.log3 of between 830 and 1010.degree. C., PA0 they exhibit a work range of at least 30.degree. C., PA0 each includes, as weight percentages, in all less than 3% of the following compounds: TiO.sub.2, ZnO, BaO and Li.sub.2 O and preferably less than 1% of each of these, PA0 they exhibit, as weight percentages, differences in respective contents of boron oxides B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and of sodium oxide Na.sub.2 O such that: EQU (i) .DELTA.B.sub.2 O.sub.3 >2% EQU (ii) .DELTA.Na.sub.2 O>2%.
