Abstract
The free-flowing insulating and/or packing material has as its main ingredient one or more completely bio-degradable products. These can be natural ones, typically popcorn produced by hot air. ADVANTAGE - No environmental pollution whatsoever, either during production or destruction.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein schüttbares Isolations- und/oder Verpackungsmaterial.
Produkte auf der Basis von Polystyrol, beispielsweise Styropor, wurden anfangs der siebziger Jahre bekannt und haben sich als Isolations- und/oder Verpackungsmaterial bewährt.
Solche Produkte belasten aber sowohl bei der Herstellung als auch beim Gebrauch und der Vernichtung die Umwelt.
Im Herstellungsverfahren können aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe ins Abwasser wie auch in die Luft gelangen. Bei der Verbrennung tritt stets eine starke Russbildung auf, begleitet von der Erzeugung von giftigem Kohlenstoffmonoxid.
Es ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein neues, schüttbares Isolations- und/oder Verpackungsmaterial zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches vollständig biologisch abbaubar ist.
Es soll auch die Umwelt während seiner Herstellung und Vernichtung nicht belasten.
Das erfindungsgemässe schüttbare Isolationsund/oder Verpackungsmaterial ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es als Hauptbestandteil wenigstens ein vollständig biologisch abbaubares Produkt enthält.
Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen dieser Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.
Das bevorzugte Ausgangsmaterial, also Mais, kann problemlos in landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben produziert werden. Diesbezügliche Produktionsüberschüsse können für die erfindungsgemässen Zwecke verwertet werden.
Die Maiskörner können durch Wärmeeinwirkung zu Popcorn gepopt werden, d.h., die Maiskörner dehnen sich aus, blähen sich auf oder quellen.
Es ist möglich, die Maiskörner sowohl mit \l oder Fett als auch mit Heissluft zu popen. Wegen dem auf den gepopten Maiskörnern zurückbleibenden \l oder Fett, welches beispielsweise auf einen verpackten Gegenstand oder die Verpackungsaussenseite negative Einflüsse haben könnte, beispielsweise Erzeugung von \l-, resp. Fettflecken, ist es bevorzugt, das Popcorn mittels Heissluft herzustellen.
Das erfindungsgemässe Isolations- und/oder Verpackungsmaterial, insbesondere Popcorn, ist sehr gut kompostierbar und kann nach dessen Gebrauch auch als Tierfutter verwendet werden.
Wird Popcorn nicht wiederverwertet, also in den Abfallcontainer gegeben, so ist dessen Verbrennung problemlos, weil insbesondere keine Russbildung auftritt und die Verbrennung praktisch vollständig verläuft.
Das gebrauchte Popcorn kann auch problemlos, beispielsweise in Gärtnereien, zur kurzfristigen Auflockerung von Erde, insbesondere Pflanzenerde, verwendet werden.
Dabei gelangen keine gefährlichen Stoffe in die Erde, wie dies bei entsprechender Anwendung von Styropor der Fall ist.
Gepopte Maiskörner wirken wärmedämmend sowohl für Wärme als auch für Kälte.
Bei verunreinigtem Popcorn, beispielsweise mit einer Flüssigkeit getränktes Popcorn, ist es von Fall zu Fall abzuwägen, ob es noch als Tierfutter verwendet werden kann oder mittels Verbrennung vernichtet werden muss.
Das erfindungegemässe Isolations- und/oder Verpackungsmaterial kann entweder in loser Form als Schüttgut oder abgepackt in Säcke eingesetzt werden.
In verschlossene Plastiksäcke abgepacktes Popcorn kann problemlos mehrere Monate gelagert werden.
Die nachfolgenden Beispiele sollen die vorliegende Erfindung illustrieren.
Beispiel 1
Popcorn wurde in den benötigten Mengen in einer Heissluft Popcorn-Herstellungsmaschine "Citation" der Firma Gold Medal Products & Co., Cincinnati, USA, in bekannter Art hergestellt.
In eine Kartonschachtel mit einer Grundfläche von 35 x 35 cm und einer Höhe von 35 cm wurde eine etwa 6 cm dicke Schicht aus Popcorn eingebracht.
Darauf wurde ein Teller mit einem Durchmesser von 26 cm gegeben. Darauf wurde eine etwa 2,5 cm dicke Schicht aus Popcorn gegeben.
Auf diese Art und Weise wurden insgesamt 6 Teller abgepackt. Der Abschluss dieser Anordnung bildet eine etwa 6 cm dicke Schicht aus Popcorn.
Die prall gefüllte Schachtel wurde mit einem Klebband verschlossen. Der Boden dieser Schachtel wurde mit "unten" und der Deckel der genannten Schachtel wurde mit "oben" beschriftet.
Das so hergestellte Paket wurde auf eine schiefe Ebene gestellt: Es wurde darauf geachtet, dass es sich auf einer Länge von etwa 2 Meter überschlug und anschliessend im freien Fall eine Distanz von 1 Meter zurücklegte und danach wahllos auf einem Betonboden aufschlug.
Dieser Vorgang wurde insgesamt 10mal wiederholt.
Danach wurde das Paket geöffnet, und es wurde festgestellt, dass kein einziger Teller beschädigt worden war.
Beispiel 2
Popcorn wurde gemäss Beispiel 1 hergestellt.
In eine Kartonschachtel mit einer Grundfläche von 30 x 30 cm und einer Höhe von 30 cm wurde 1 kg tiefgefrorenes Fleisch (Temperatur im Tiefkühlgerät: -25 DEG C), welches sich in einem Plastikbeutel befand, und Popcorn derart eingefüllt, dass das Fleischstück sich etwa im Zentrum der Schachtel befand.
Zu Vergleichszwecken wurde in eine zweite Kartonschachtel ebenfalls 1 kg tiefgefrorenes Fleisch, aber kein Popcorn gegeben.
Beide Schachteln wurden bei Raumtemperatur gelagert.
Es wurde festgestellt, dass das Fleisch in der Schachtel ohne Popcorn bereits nach etwa 7 Stunden vollständig aufgetaut war, währenddem das Fleisch in der Schachtel mit Popcorn erst nach etwa 13 Stunden vollständig aufgetaut war.
The present invention relates to a pourable insulation and / or packaging material.
Products based on polystyrene, such as polystyrene, became known in the early 1970s and have proven themselves as insulation and / or packaging material.
However, such products pollute the environment both in terms of manufacture, use and destruction.
In the manufacturing process, aromatic hydrocarbons can get into wastewater and air. During combustion, there is always a large amount of soot, accompanied by the production of toxic carbon monoxide.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new, pourable insulation and / or packaging material which is completely biodegradable.
It should also not harm the environment during its manufacture and destruction.
The pourable insulation and / or packaging material according to the invention is characterized in that it contains at least one completely biodegradable product as the main component.
Preferred embodiments of this invention are defined in the dependent claims.
The preferred raw material, i.e. maize, can easily be produced on farms. Production surpluses in this regard can be utilized for the purposes according to the invention.
The corn kernels can be popped into popcorn by heat, i.e. the corn kernels expand, swell or swell.
It is possible to pop the corn kernels with \ l or fat as well as with hot air. Because of the \ l or fat remaining on the popped maize kernels, which could have negative influences, for example on a packaged item or the outside of the packaging, for example production of \ l- or. Grease stains, it is preferred to make the popcorn using hot air.
The insulation and / or packaging material according to the invention, in particular popcorn, is very well compostable and can also be used as animal feed after its use.
If popcorn is not recycled, i.e. put into the waste container, it can be burned without any problems because, in particular, there is no soot formation and the combustion is practically complete.
The used popcorn can also be used without problems, for example in nurseries, for short-term loosening of soil, especially potting soil.
No dangerous substances get into the earth, as is the case with the appropriate use of styrofoam.
Popped corn kernels have a thermal insulation effect for both warm and cold.
In the case of contaminated popcorn, for example popcorn soaked in a liquid, it must be considered on a case-by-case basis whether it can still be used as animal feed or whether it must be destroyed by incineration.
The insulation and / or packaging material according to the invention can be used either in bulk as bulk material or packaged in sacks.
Popcorn packed in sealed plastic bags can easily be stored for several months.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention.
example 1
The required quantities of popcorn were produced in a known manner in a hot air popcorn production machine "Citation" from Gold Medal Products & Co., Cincinnati, USA.
An approximately 6 cm thick layer of popcorn was placed in a cardboard box with a base area of 35 x 35 cm and a height of 35 cm.
A plate with a diameter of 26 cm was placed on it. An approximately 2.5 cm thick layer of popcorn was placed on top.
A total of 6 plates were packed in this way. The end of this arrangement is an approximately 6 cm thick layer of popcorn.
The bulging box was closed with an adhesive tape. The bottom of this box was labeled "bottom" and the lid of the box was labeled "top".
The package made in this way was placed on an incline: Care was taken to ensure that it overturned over a length of about 2 meters and then covered a distance of 1 meter in free fall and then hit a concrete floor indiscriminately.
This process was repeated 10 times in total.
After that, the package was opened and it was found that not a single plate had been damaged.
Example 2
Popcorn was produced according to Example 1.
In a cardboard box with a base of 30 x 30 cm and a height of 30 cm, 1 kg of deep-frozen meat (temperature in the freezer: -25 ° C), which was in a plastic bag, and popcorn were filled in such a way that the piece of meat was about was in the center of the box.
For comparison purposes, 1 kg of frozen meat was also placed in a second cardboard box, but no popcorn.
Both boxes were stored at room temperature.
It was found that the meat in the box without popcorn was completely thawed after about 7 hours, while the meat in the box with popcorn was only completely thawed after about 13 hours.
