hvlA TERIAL
FIELh OF TIDE INVENTIOhf This invention relates to a corrugated packaging and ir,~sulation material.
In particular the present invention provides a protective cushioning produ~t_for~ned by corrugating a substrate and method of making same.
r~ESCRIP T ION OF THE PI1~IOI~ Al2 T
conventional corrugated cardboard has been used as packing material.
Various combinations of corr ugated cardboard with Styrofoam boards or bubble sheeting are known. fIowevcr there is a need for a less expensive packaging material that is 100% recyclable and ewvironn~entaliy compatible.
s~tl~Al~~ OF TIN ~E~~rrI~~T
It is an object of the invention to provide a. re-enforced corrugated product for use as protective packaging or insulation bars°ier.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a method of making a corrugated product.
Thus in accordance with the present invention there is provided a corrugated product comprising a corrugated substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface and a first sheet is larnanated to the points between the corrugations of the top surface. The substrate is selected from the group consisting of paper, craft paper or cotton Paper. The first sheet is selected from the group consisting of paper, 3C craft paper, cotton Paper. A second sheet is laminated to the points between the corrugations of the bottom surface. The spaces between the corrugations in the substrate and the first andlor second sheet material is filled with a rec~rclable f~.lling material that re-enforces the corrugated product. The racy clable filling material is .
preferably selected from the group consisting of foamed starch, recycable paper fiber, wood fiber or natural plant fiber. 'I'he first and second sheets trap tlae recyclable filling material between the corrugated. substrate and the sheets to provide additional cushioning and insulation properties to the product over simply the corrugations. The corrugated product of the present invention can be used as a protective cushioning packaging material, an insulation barrier, shipping pallets, sound barrier or re-enforced boxes for shipping and product packaging. It is IOfl%recyclable and is water resistant.
In anoth~,r e:nbo~;lirn.e~~t the in~~ention is directed to processes for making the corrugated products.
Further features of the invention will be described or will become apparent in the course of the following detailed description.
l~ ~IE~IEF J~ESCRIPTI~I~ ~F T I-IE I~RA4~IN~aS
In order that the invention rna~r be more clearly understood, the preferred embodiment thereof will r°~o~T be described in detail by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig~zre I is a schematic end pla:ra ~riew of a re-enforced coaragated product according to the present invention.
Figure 2 is a schematic of an ernbodirnea~t of a process according to tl;le present 2~ invention to form the corrugated products of Figure I.
DETI~ILEI~ DESCRIPTI~N ~F TI-IE PREFERREC~ ElI~IE~DIIvIEhTT
Referaing to Figure l, ~ corrugated product according to the present 25 invention is generally indicated ~.t 1. In the embadiment illustrated a corrugated substrate z, having a top surface 3 and a bottom surface ~., has all the voids 9 between the con~zgations (flutes ~ filled with a recyclable, filler rr~aterial 6 preferably selected from the group consisting of recycled paper fiber, wood f ~ber, natural plant fiber or foamed starch.. The fiber rn~aterial ~ can consist of one or amore of recycled paper fiber, 3~ wood fiber, natural plant fiber or foas~ed starch alone or iir-~
v~orrabination.The top surface 3 of the corrugated su~strate 2 is laminated with ~t first sheet'? and the bottom surface 4 is Ian2inated with a second sheet 8. In the embodiment illustrated the substrate z is selected froryz the group consisting of paper., craft paper or Cotton paper.
The sheets 7,8 are preferab4y selected from the group consisting of paper, craft papeA, 35 Cotton paper The sheets 7 and 8 trap the fiber material ~i -in the voids 9 between corrugations 5 in the corrugated substrate and the sheets ?,8. The n3ore strength required the thicker the gauge of the paper selected for the substrate 2 and sheets 7,8.
The corrugated product of the present invention can be used as a protective cushioning z packaging material, an insulation barrier, cushioned envelopes, void fill, sound barrier, carpet and flooring underlay or boxes for shipping and product packazging. It is recyclable and is water resistant.
Figure 2 illustrates sclmmaticaly one method of making the corrugated products of Figure I. In Figure 2 three rolls 21, 22, 23 are shown. The roll 22 contains the substrate 24 that will be corrugated to form the corrugated substrate 2.
Doll 21 contains the sheet 7 and roll 2 3 contains sheet 8. The sulL~strate 24 from roll 22 is threaded over- a heated idler rollers 25,26 that are capable of releasing stearra into the 1Q substrate when it is a paper substrate being corrczgated. These heated idler rollers 25,26 are preferably oiI heated. The substrate 24 is then fed through a pair of male 27 and female 28 rotary dies to create the center flute 2 of the corr~igated structure.
~Jhile substrate 24 is being corrugated, the sheets 7, 8 are drawn off rolls 21, 23. Sheet 7 passes over idle roller 29 and between heated idle rollers 3D, 31. Sheet 7 there passes under the extruder die 32 wl~erv a thin layer of extruded fiber pulp andlor foarnable starch is laminated to the sarface of sheet 7 and then around heated idle roller 38. As substrate 24 is cor~~ugated to form the flutes 5, the sheet '7 is fed between nip roller 33 and corrugated sulsstrate 2 as it passes over female die 28.
Sheet '~ is laminated only on the points 4Cl between corrugations 5 of the top surface 3r The thin layer of extruded fiber pulp argdlor foamable starch is still sticky after being applied to sheet 7. This enables the sheet material 7 to stick to the points 4~ on substrate 2. As the thin layer is tacky and it is run through nip roller 33 the thin layer becomes thinner at the points 4~ that it contacts the substrate 2 and will then not expand and distort the corrugations or flute 5 when subsequently heated.
~s the two ~.vebs i:ormed by substrate 2 and. sheet '~ continue around tlge mold (female rotary die) 28 they exit and start to wrap around :rip roller 34 where the second sheet 8 is introduced and adhered to the bottom of tl:e fluted substrate 2.
The sheet material 8 is drawn from roll 23 under the extruder die 35 where a thin layer of extruded faber pulp ancUor foamable starch is applied to the side of the sheet 8 to be attached to the substrate 2. Sheet 8 then passes over heated idle roller 36. The sheet 8 continues, to pass with the lamination of substrate 2 and sheet 7, through the nip rollers 34 and 3'~ and is laminated only on the points 4I
between corrugations 5 of the bottom surf ace 4 of substrate 2. The thin layer of extruded fiber pulp andlor foamable starch is still sticky after teeing applied to sheet 8.
This enables the sheet material 8 to stick to tlm points 41 on subs~rate 2. !~s the thin layer is tacky and it is run through nip roller 34,3' the film layer beco~~es thinner ;at the points 41 that it contacts the substrate ~ and gill then not expand and distort th~.e corrugations or flute 5 when subsequently heated.
The laminated structure ~2 nova proceeds through a heat source, in the embodiment shown a ~ ( radio frequency) machine 43, that heats the paper and fiber to dry tl~e laminated structure 42 arid causing the foamable starch to expand_(foam) and fill in all the voids between the corrugation flutes 5 and the sheets 7,8 respectively. As the foanaabie starch is expanding the larn.inated structure ~2 travels IO through cooled gauging nip rollers 44 that control the expansion and aid in the drying of the fiber filled structure 42. ''fhe rollers 25~, 30, 31, 25, .2~, 3f~ and 38 are all heated to aid in the curing and setting of the fiber fiiler.
having illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the I5 invention and certain possl~le ~~odifications thereto, it should be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that ~e invention permits of' furths:r modification irf arranger~.ent and detail. ~~ll such modifications are cover; d by the scope of the lnventlon.
