Description

CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITION COMPRISING GLASS FRAGMENTS
The invention concerns a composite'' material, which can be applied as a building material.
Different kinds of composite materials, which are used as a building material, are already familiar. First of all the material concrete, which is a composite of cement, gravel and sand. Concrete is mainly used for structural building elements. A disadvantage of concrete in building elements is the appearance, which is aesthetically insufficient.
The new invention relates not only to the composite material and the procedure for it's application, but also to the application itself, which is also new. Building materials such as terrazzo, which are often used for floors and panels, looks like marble or granite with three-dimensional qualities. Terrazzo is a composite material of glass, cement, sand and stone. The material will be ground, polished, washed or radiated after hardening.
The procedure of the new composite material contains a grinding- and polishing process. At least one of the surfaces of the cast will be first ground and afterwards polished. By grinding and polishing the surface a smooth, shiny surface will appear. The glass will be visible.
Big fragments of glass will be used in the composite material. The aim of using big fragments instead of small fragments is to create panels in which the glass will reach the upper as well as the lower side of the panel. By using the big fragments it's possible to make the panels locally transparent.
The glass fragments used in a prefabricated panel of the new composite material, which is constructed according to the procedure from the invention, will be coated. The affixture between the glass fragments and the other specimens will be improved. It's possible that the glass fragments have to be heated before they will be coated. Another part of the procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention is to give the glass fragments a rough surface, which improves cohesion. Different ways of making the surface rough are sandblasting or using a carborundum mixture to give the glass fractures a rugged surface.
Again another part of the procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention is to coat at least one of the polished surfaces of the cast. The coating will close the surfaces. Influences like temperature and moisture are excluded. Suitable coatings are PE-coatings, tin-coatings, silaan-coatings, polymer, wax, oxaan-oil, etc.
Again another part of the procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention is to wash the glass fragments after roughing it and before it will be mixed. The presence of dust, waste and other different little parts takes care of a negative affixture between the glass fragments and the other specimens in the composite material. That's why the diameter of the glass fragments has to be 5 ram. This will be reached by using at least 15% and a maximum of 80% (volume) of glass fragments.
The procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention remains the following steps:
- to mix the glass fragments;
- to reinforce the composite material by using steel or synthetic material; - to pour the mixture in a model; - to compact the mixture so that air bubbles will disappear;
- to wash the mixture from which the hardening time is not expired yet;
- the hardening time of the mixture/composite material.
It's possible to make the composite material according to this procedure. Building elements, like floor elements and panels, can be made. The correct proportion between the glass fragments and the other ingredients is a proportion with a minimum of 15% and a maximum of 80% (volume) of glass fragments. Finally it's also possible to add at least one color pigment to the composite material. The gray, dark appearance becomes more aesthetical.
It's possible to use new glass to create the composite material. The preference is to use recycle glass.
A problem occurs when glass will be recycled. It's possible to recycle a large part of the glass, which is thrown in a glass container. This glass will be used to make new glass. A small part of the used glass isn't useful for making new glass. This part contains many remainders like earthwork or ceramics after the recycling process. The earthwork and ceramics don't melt in the glass oven completely. The products, which is made by this recycle glass, are not desirable. A part of the recycle glass will remain after the recycling process. This part isn't useful for the fabrication of new glass. A small part of the recycle glass won't always be useful; in spite of this recycle glass is a mixture of at least 90% glass. A large part of the other 10% consists of ceramics. Seeing that the composite material is also composed of natural stone, the extra additive of ceramics isn't harmful/won't create any disadvantages. The glass fragments will also be present in the top surface of the composite material, because of the large quantity of glass, which is mixed in the composite material. The different colors of the recycled glass fragments will give the surface a colorful appearance.
The figure shows a picture of the surface of a building element, which is fabricated according to the new invention. The surface is ground and polished. The glass fragments (1) are visible, because of the grinding and polishing. The glass fragments (1) have a black color in the figure. According to the figure, it's very clear that the quantity of glass fragments is more than 15% of the volume. The space between the glass fragments (2) is composed of a mixture of cement, sand and natural stone. It's possible to color the composite material by using color pigments. If the glass fragments (1) have a different color, a colorful surface will appear. This surface with the different colors of glass is very decorative. Appropriate applications for this composite material are for example building panels.
