A process for making a fibrous product using a binder based on a formaldehyde-containing resin and especially for making fiberglass insulation, and to the fibrous product itself, wherein a formaldehyde scavenger is separately applied to the fibrous mat, such as by treating the fibers with an aqueous mixture consisting essentially of the formaldehyde scavenger or with a neat form of the scavenger, with the result that the fibrous product exhibits a reduced level of formaldehyde emissions. |
