Abstract
Moulded items like chipboard, fibreboard, mouldings and the like consist of a mixture of 0 to 95 % wt. of chips of wood or cellulose-containing substances; 5 to 100 % wt. of potato pulp with a moisture content of 5 to 95 % wt.; and 1 to 15 % wt. of a binder related to the total weight of the chip and potato pulp mixture. The moulded items have good physical and technological properties.
Description
The present invention relates to shaped articles of substances containing wood or cellulose and a process for their production. The shaped articles are, for example, chipboards, fibre boards, pressed mouldings and the like.
Chipboards are produced from wood shavings and other waste wood, binders being added to bind the wood shavings. The amount of binders is in general about 3 to 15% by weight, based on the absolutely dry wood. It depends inter alia on the nature of the binder and is, for example, about 3 to 5% by weight in the case of isocyanates and about 9 to 13% by weight in the case of formaldehyde resins, based on the absolutely dry wood. The quality of the chipboard depends decisively on the amount of binder employed. If attempts are made to reduce the amount of binder employed, for example for reasons of cost, chipboards which are of low quality, have inadequate physical properties, for example inadequate swelling properties, and display an inadequate dimen20 sional stability, such as, for example, transverse tensile strength and flexural strength, are in general obtained.
Potato pulp is obtained in large quantities as a waste product in the production of potato starch. It has so far been possible to use it only in small amounts as a feedstuff. For this purpose, the potato pulp is either delivered in unchanged form, in which case it rapidly undergoes microbial changes because of its high moisture content of about 90%, or it is dried, to give a product having a moisture content of about 10 to 75% by weight.
Industrial utilization of this product has so far been unsuccessful.
The object of the present invention is to provide a shaped article of substances containing wood or cellu35 lose in which all or some of the content of shavings containing wood or cellulose has been replaced by potato pulp.
This object is achieved by a shaped article according to Patent Claim 1. The subclaims relate to
IE 90355«

preferred embodiments of the invention.
The use of potato pulp instead of wood shavings or the partial replacement of wood shavings by potato pulp considerably improves the physical properties, such as, for example, the swelling properties, the wet strength, the transverse tensile strength and the flexural strength, of chipboards, it being possible for the content of binder to be decreased at the same time. If potato pulp is added and, for example, isocyanates are used as the binder, the DIN values for the swelling time and the transverse tensile strength are improved many times over in comparison with the use of wood shavings alone.
The shaped articles according to the invention in general contain 5 to 100% by weight of potato pulp, preferably 25 to 75% by weight and particularly preferably 30 to 50% by weight. At such contents of potato pulp, the content of binders can be reduced to about 1 to 5% by weight, preferably to about 1 to 3% by weight and particularly preferably to about 2% by weight, for example if isocyanates are used, depending on the requirements of the shaped articles in respect of dimensional stability.
A product having a moisture content of about 5 to
95% by weight, preferably about 5 to 50% by weight, can be used as the potato pulp. At higher moisture contents of more than 90% by weight, in particular more than 95% by weight, pressing of the shaped articles becomes more difficult and the presses must have a possibility for drainage of the water pressed off.
Suitable binders are all the binders usually employed for the production of shaped articles of substances containing wood or cellulose, such as, for example, isocyanate (polyurethane) resins, urea-formalde35 hyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, tannins, binders prepared from microorganisms, such as described, for example, in DE-PS 3,621,218, and the like.
If wood shavings are used for the shaped articles
IE 90355»
- 4 according to the invention, the shavings usually employed for this purpose are used. In the production of, for example, chipboards, wood shavings which have approximately the following average dimensions are used for the middle layer: length 10 to 40 mm, width 3 to 17 mm and thickness 0.1 to 0.4 mm. Such shavings are generally called middle layer shavings. Shavings which have approximately the following average dimensions are used for the covering layers: length 0.1 to 0.7 mm, width 0.05 to
0.2 mm and thickness 0.01 to 0.2 mm. Such shavings are generally called covering layer shavings.
In the production of chipboards it has proved advantageous to add a hydrophobisizing agent to improve the resistance to swelling. The hydrophobisizing agent used is in general an aqueous paraffin emulsion, for example a 50% strength aqueous paraffin emulsion, which is used, in particular, if isocyanates are employed, or an emulsion of 49.6% of paraffin, 49.6% of water and 0.8% of 25% strength ammonia, for example if urea-formaldehyde resins are used.
About 0.5 to 2% by weight of the emulsion of such a hydrophobisizing agent, based on the absolutely dry wood or mixture of wood and pulp (dry matter) is employed.
The shaped articles according to the invention, in particular chipboards, can be produced as follows:
If shavings are also used, the potato pulp is mixed with these and the mixture is then mixed with the binder or with a mixture of binder and other additives in a sizing drum, for example by the rotating process, or is sprayed with the binder. To produce chipboards, the sized shavings are sprinkled to form mats and these are pressed.
After about two days, the boards can be squared, abraded and tested for their physical-technological properties.
The invention is illustrated in more detail below with the aid of the examples. The middle layer shavings and covering layer shavings described above are used in
- 5 IE 903558 the examples .
Example 1
Middle layer shavings and covering layer shavings having an average moisture content of about 3% together with potato pulp and binder were used to produce chipboards. The binders were mixed and homogenized with a stirrer, with the addition of a hydrophobisizing emulsion consisting of a 50% strength aqueous paraffin emulsion. Sliced-pine shavings were mixed with potato pulp in a laboratory sizing drum by the rotating process and the mixture was sprayed with binder.
To produce single-layered and three-layered chipboards (theoretical thickness 20 mm), the sized shavings were sprinkled manually to form mats 30 x 50 cm in size. Pressed mouldings were pressed from these at a temperature of 190°C under a pressure of 30 kp/cmz for a pressing time of 5 minutes. The boards were removed from the press and cooled in air. After two days, the boards were squared, abraded and investigated for their proper20 ties. Before the investigations, the boards were acclimatized for two days at 20°C and a relative atmospheric humidity of 65%.
The amounts of potato pulp, shavings and binder employed and the results obtained are shown in the following tables.
