Definitions

• the invention relates to a process for the production of wood fiber boards, in which the raw material is subjected to fiberization and then glued in a blow line with an aqueous binder liquor, and the glued fiber material obtained in this way is dried after drying to the required residual moisture and spread under mat and under pressure and temperature Plates is pressed.
• the invention relates to such a method for producing medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and hardboard (HDF), which contain a reduced amount of binder.
• MDF medium-density fiberboard
• HDF hardboard
• a similar process is known from AT-A-366960, however in connection with chipboard.
• the mechanical properties of wood fiber boards are largely determined by the binder used to bind the fiber material. Under otherwise constant conditions, an increase in the mechanical strength of the plates is accompanied by an increase in the amount of binder used to bind the fiber material.
• the binder material represents an essential cost factor in the production of fiberboard
• a reduction in the amount of binder used leads, as already mentioned, to a decrease in the strength of the boards produced thereby.
• the moisture of the glued chip material which is kept below 12%, is determined by the amount of water applied to the savings material with the binder liquor.
• this aim is achieved by gluing with a liquor with a solid resin content of 20 to 35% by mass, preferably 25 to 35% by mass, and using an amount of binder which is less than 10% by mass. preferably 7 to 9% by mass of solid resin, based on the total, atro calculated fiber material.
• the use of highly dilute aqueous binder liquors according to the invention makes it possible to produce wood fiber boards in the dry process, the mechanical values of which very well meet the requirements of the standard, while at the same time a substantial saving in binder is made possible in comparison with the boards produced according to the method of conventional technology.
• the method according to the invention makes it possible to produce wood fiber boards with a solid resin content of less than 10% by mass, which have sufficient strengths in accordance with the applicable standards.
• the fiber material is apparently largely coated with binder, which leads to a strong increase in the glueing points essential for the strength development in the boards.
• Another advantage of this method is that the high dilution of the binder used exerts a cooling effect on the glued fiber, since part of the water contained in the binder mixture evaporates immediately, thereby removing heat from the entire fiber / binder system. This prevents premature pre-curing of the binder on the glued fiber, which pre-curing can also result in a decrease in panel strength.
• the present method according to the invention can be carried out without a significant change in the process technology.
• the gluing of the fiber material takes place shortly after it emerges from the defibration machine (refiner) in the blow line in a conventional manner.
• Suitable hardening substances such as, for example, ammonium chloride, ammonium phosphate, phosphoric acid, formic acid, are added to the glue liquor in order to harden the binder used during the hot pressing process, in the amounts known in the art, which depend on the particular plant conditions.
• Glue booster based on a lignin sulfonate proven.
• Additional formaldehyde scavengers such as urea, can also be added to the binder liquor.
• paraffin emulsion or melted paraffin to make the fiberboard hydrophobic is advantageously carried out before entering the refiner.
• the fiber material which has been provided with binder in the manner described above, is then dried in a manner known per se to a residual moisture of at most 12%, advantageously at most 10%, before it is pressed into sheets after forming mat webs in conventional heating presses becomes.
• the pressing to plates can be done in conventional stationary presses at temperatures of around 160 to 190 ° C and pressures up to 35 bar or in contipresses at heating plate temperatures up to 235 ° C and the usual pressure programs.
• the pressing times correspond to the pressing times which have also been used to date.
• a preferred embodiment of the process according to the present invention is that the aminoplastic binder used is first diluted with water to a solid resin concentration of approximately 30 to 40% by mass and the necessary additives such as hardening substances, glue booster, formaldehyde scavenger, in a suitable aqueous solution the diluted binder solution only closes just before entering the blow line over a mixing section.
• MDF medium-density fiberboard
• a fiber material was used, which had been produced in a manner known per se from wood chips in a fiberising machine (refiner).
• a binder-containing mixture was metered into the blow line, through which the fiber material is discharged from the refiner, shortly after it emerged from the refiner.
• This binder-containing mixture was composed as follows: In a mixing container, an aminoplastic E1 glue for fiber board production (HIACOLL MDF 15) was diluted with water to a concentration of 33% by mass of solid resin. A solution was placed in a second mixing container of 30 mass% urea, 10 mass% ammonium chloride and 1 mass% phosphoric acid.
• the two solutions were combined in a ratio using a static mixer in such a way that the final glue liquor contained a concentration of solid resin of 28.3% by mass.
• This glue liquor was added to the fiber material in such an amount that a glue factor of 8.2% by mass of solid resin, based on absolutely dry (atro) fiber, was obtained.
• the glued fiber mixture was then dried in a known manner to a residual moisture content of 10% by mass, formed into a fiber mat and pressed in a heating press under the action of pressure and temperature to form an MDF board.
• the board produced in this way very well met the requirements of the industry standard for MDF boards (standard type MDF, formaldehyde content class A).
• a fiber material according to Example 1 was glued in a manner known per se with the following binder-containing mixture: 1,000 kg of HIACOLL MDF 15, 100 kg of urea solution (40% by mass) and 1,000 l of water were mixed in a mixing container, whereby the solid resin concentration of this mixture was 31.4% by mass. 100 kg of HIACOLL K1215 glue booster and 165 l of water were mixed in a second mixing container.
• the two solutions were mixed together via metering pumps and a static mixer in such a mixing ratio that the final concentration of solid resin in the mixture was 27.0% by mass.
• This mixture was applied to the fiber material in an amount such that a gluing factor of 7.5% by mass, based on the dry fiber material, was obtained.
• an MDF board was obtained which, in all test values, very well met the requirements for the standard type MDF, formaldehyde content class A according to the industry standard for MDF boards.
• Example 3 is a comparative example.
• a glue liquor of the following composition was used for the gluing of fiber material, which was carried out as described in Examples 1 and 2: 1,000 kg HIACOLL MDF-12, 150 kg urea solution (40% by mass) 40 kg ammonium chloride solution (15% by mass) 50 kg of water.
• This glue liquor corresponds to the state of the art. It has a solid resin concentration of 53.2% by mass. To achieve the mechanical values required by the industry standard for MDF boards of an MDF board manufactured using this liquor, 235 kg of glue liquor had to be used per 1,000 kg of dry fiber material, which corresponds to a gluing factor of 12.5% by mass, based on dry fiber material .
