Described is a fiber glass mat composition comprising a fiber glass matrix bonded with fire retardant melamine resin binder composition capable of forming a nonwoven mat having at least 27% by weight nitrogen (N) in the dry, but uncured resin. Also described is a method of making a fire retardant nonwoven fiber glass mat comprising the steps of providing an aqueous melamine based resin binder; applying the binder to fiber glass; and recovering a fire retardant fiber glass mat, wherein the mat has at least 27% by weight N in the dry, but uncured resin wherein the ratio of resin in the mat to N content of the resin does not exceed about 0.6.

[ I claim:] [1.] A method of making a fire retardant nonwoven fiber glass mat or paper comprising the steps of forming a nonwoven mat or paper from an aqueous slurry containing glass fibers; saturating the wet mat or paper with an aqueous melamine based resin binder; drying the mat or paper and curing the resin binder to at least a B stage to form a fibrous mat or paper wherein the fibers are bound together with said resin binder, wherein said resin has in a dry, but uncured, state a nitrogen content of at least 27 weight percent, wherein the ratio of resin in the final mat or paper does not exceed 0.6 of said nitrogen content, and wherein the phosphorous content of said resin does not exceed an amount remaining from 1.5 percent or less of a buffered phosphate catalyst in the aqueous melamine based resin binder.
