Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lightweight wood-based materials containing 30 to 95 wt .-%, based on the wood material, wood particles, wherein the wood particles have a mean density of 0.4 to 0.85 g / cm 3 , 2.5 to 20 wt. %, based on the wood material, polystyrene and / or styrene copolymer as filler, wherein the filler has a bulk density of 10 to 100 kg / m 3 , and 2.5 to 50 wt .-%, based on the wood material, binder, wherein the average density of the light wood material is less than or equal to 600 kg / m 3 .
  • Wood-based panels are a cost-effective and resource-saving alternative to solid wood and have gained great importance in particular in furniture construction, laminate flooring and as building materials.
  • Starting materials serve wood particles of different strengths, eg. As wood chips or wood fibers from different woods.
  • wood particles are usually pressed with natural and / or synthetic binders and optionally with the addition of further additives to plate or strand-shaped wood materials.
  • chipboard comes mainly used in the manufacture of doors as an inner layer.
  • a disadvantage of these materials is the too low screw extraction resistance, the difficulty attaching fittings and the difficulties in edging.
  • Lightweight and pressure-resistant molding materials consist of wood chips or fibers, a binder and serving as a filler porous plastic.
  • the wood chips or fibers are mixed with binders and foamable or partially foamable plastics, and the resulting mixture is compressed at elevated temperature.
  • binders all conventional binders suitable for the gluing of wood, such as urea-formaldehyde resins, are useful.
  • Suitable fillers are foamable or already foamed plastic particles, preferably expandable thermoplastics such as styrene polymers. The particle size of the plastics used is generally in prefoamed plastics 0.6 to 10 mm.
  • the plastics are used in an amount of 0.5 to 5 weight percent, based on the wood chips.
  • the plates described in the examples have a thickness of 18 to 21 mm, a density of 220 kg / m 3 to 430 kg / m 3 and an average bending strength of 3.6 N / mm 2 to 17.7 N / mm 2 on.
  • the transverse tensile strengths are not specified in the examples.
  • WO 02/38676 describes a process for the preparation of light products, in which 5 to 40 wt .-% foamable or already foamed polystyrene having a particle size of less than 1 mm, 60 to 95 wt .-% lignocellulosic material and binder mixed and at elevated temperature and elevated pressure be pressed into the finished product, wherein the polystyrene melts and on the one hand impregnates the lignocellulosic material and on the other hand by the migration to the surface of the product forms a hard, water-resistant skin.
  • urea-formaldehyde resin or melamine-formaldehyde resin may be used as the binder.
  • the example describes a product with a thickness of 4.5 mm and a density of 1200 kg / m 3 .

  • binder polymeric binders such as 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate resin are described.
  • the fillers described are glass, ceramics, perlite or polymeric materials.
  • the polymeric material is used in an amount of 0.8 to 20 wt .-% based on the OSB board.
  • the polymeric material used in the examples is the material Dualite, which consists of polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride or polyacrylonitrile. A weight reduction of 5% is described.
  • OSB boards having a density of 607 to 677 kg / m 3 and a transverse tensile strength of 0.31 to 0.59 N / mm 2 are described.
  • US 2003/24443 discloses a material consisting of wood chips, binders and fillers. Fillers include polymers based on styrene. The volume ratio between the wood chips and the binder is advantageously 1: 1. There are also described prior art plates in which the volume ratio of binder to wood shavings is 90:10. These prior art plates have a density of 948 kg / m 3 . As binders among other thermosetting resins are described. In the examples according to the invention plates with a volume ratio of binder to wood chips of 45:55 are described which have a density of 887 kg / m 3 .
  • JP 06031708 describes light wood materials, wherein for the middle layer of a three-layer chipboard, a mixture of 100 parts by weight of wood particles and 5 to 30 parts by weight of particles of synthetic resin foam are used, said resin particles having a specific gravity of not more than 0.3 g / cm 3 and have a compressive strength of at least 30 kg / cm 2 . Further, it is described that the specific gravity of the wood particles should not exceed 0.5 g / cm 3 .
  • a mechanical strength of the produced wood materials of 4.7 to 4.9 kg / cm 3 is achieved using wood particles from the Japanese cedar with a density of 0.35 g / cm 3 . Using Lauan and Kapur wood particles with an average density of 0.6 g / cm 3 , only a mechanical strength of the produced wood materials of 3.7 kg / cm 3 could be achieved.
  • the disadvantage of the prior art is summarized in that on the one hand, the described light (wood) materials for furniture manufacturing too low mechanical strength, such as too low a screw pull-out resistance, have. On the other hand, the wood materials described in the prior art still have a high density of over 600 kg / m 3 . Furthermore, in the prior art for the production of lightweight wood-based materials, woods with an unusually light density of less than 0.5 g / cm 3 are employed for the European market.
  • Too low mechanical strength for example, lead to breaking or cracking of the components. Furthermore, these components tend during drilling or sawing to additional flaking of further wood material. Fastening hardware is difficult with these materials.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to show light wood materials, which in comparison to the commercial wood materials by 5 bis 40% lower density with the same good mechanical strength.
  • the mechanical strength can be determined, for example, by measuring the transverse tensile strength.
  • these lightweight wood-based materials should be manufacturable using native, European woods. Consequently, the lightweight wood-based materials using heavy woods with a density greater than or equal to 0.5 g / cm 3 should have comparable low densities and comparable high mechanical strengths as the wood-based materials according to JP 06031708 made using light woods. Furthermore, the swelling and water absorption of the light wood materials should not be affected by the reduced density.
  • the object was achieved by light wood materials containing 30 to 95 wt .-%, based on the wood material, wood particles, wherein the wood particles have a mean density of 0.4 to 0.85 g / cm 3 , 2.5 to 20 wt. -%, based on the wood material, polystyrene and / or styrene copolymer as a filler, wherein the filler has a bulk density of 10 to 100 kg / m 3 , and 2.5 to 50 wt .-%, based on the wood material, binder, wherein the average density of the light wood material is less than or equal to 600 kg / m 3 .

Holzwerkstoffe sind eine kostengünstige und Ressourcen schonende Alternative zu Massivholz und haben große Bedeutung insbesondere im Möbelbau, bei Laminatfußboden und als Baumaterialien erlangt. Als Ausgangsstoffe dienen Holzpartikel unterschiedlicher Stärke, z. B. Holzspäne oder Holzfasern aus verschiedenen Hölzern. Solche Holzpartikel werden üblicherweise mit natürlichen und/oder synthetischen Bindemitteln und gegebenenfalls unter Zugabe weiterer Additive zu platten- oder strangförmigen Holzwerkstoffen verpresst.Wood-based panels are a cost-effective and resource-saving alternative to solid wood and have gained great importance in particular in furniture construction, laminate flooring and as building materials. As starting materials serve wood particles of different strengths, eg. As wood chips or wood fibers from different woods. Such wood particles are usually pressed with natural and / or synthetic binders and optionally with the addition of further additives to plate or strand-shaped wood materials.

Der industrielle Bedarf an leichten Holzwerkstoffen ist in den letzten Jahren stetig gestiegen, insbesondere seit Mitnahmemöbel an Beliebtheit gewonnen haben, d.h. das Barzahlen und Selbstabholen von Möbeln durch den Endkunden. Ferner bedingt der steigende Ölpreis, der zu einer fortwährenden Verteuerung von beispielsweise den Transportkosten führt, ein verstärktes Interesse an leichten Holzwerkstoffen.The industrial demand for lightweight wood-based materials has risen steadily in recent years, especially since pick-up furniture has gained in popularity, i. the cash payments and self-picking of furniture by the end customer. Furthermore, the rising price of oil, which leads to a constant increase in, for example, transport costs, has led to an increased interest in lightweight wood-based materials.

Zusammengefasst sind leichte Holzwerkstoffe aus den folgenden Gründen von großer Bedeutung:

  • Leichte Holzwerkstoffe führen zu einer einfacheren Handhabbarkeit der Produkte durch den Endkunden, beispielsweise beim Einpacken, Transportieren, Auspacken oder Aufbauen der Möbel. Leichte Holzwerkstoffe führen zu geringeren Transport- und Verpackungskosten, ferner können bei der Herstellung von leichten Holzwerkstoffen Materialkosten eingespart werden. Leichte Holzwerkstoffe können beispielsweise beim Einsatz in Transportmitteln zu einem geringeren Energieverbrauch dieser Transportmittel führen. Ferner können unter Verwendung von leichten Holzwerkstoffen beispielsweise materialaufwendige Dekorteile, wie derzeit in Mode gekommene dickere Arbeitsplatten und Wangen bei Küchen, kostengünstiger angeboten werden.
In summary, lightweight wood-based materials are of great importance for the following reasons:
  • Lightweight wood-based materials result in easier handling of the products by the end customer, for example when packing, transporting, unpacking or constructing the furniture. Light wood-based materials lead to lower transport and packaging costs, and material costs can be saved in the production of lightweight wood-based materials. Light wood-based panels can, for example, when used in means of transport lead to lower energy consumption of these means of transport. Further, using lightweight wood-based materials, for example, costly decorative parts such as thicker worktops and kitchen cheeks that are currently in vogue can be offered more cheaply.

Im Stand der Technik finden sich vielfältige Vorschläge, die Dichte der Holzwerkstoffe zu verringern.There are many proposals in the state of the art for reducing the density of wood-based materials.

Als leichte (Holz)Werkstoffe sind beispielsweise Röhrenspanplatten und Wabenplatten zu nennen. Durch ihre besonderen Eigenschaften kommen Röhrenspanplatten hauptsächlich bei der Herstellung von Türen als Innenlage zum Einsatz. Nachteilig bei diesen Werkstoffen ist der zu geringe Schraubenauszugswiderstand, das erschwerte Befestigen von Beschlägen und die Schwierigkeiten bei der Bekantung.As light (wood) materials, for example, tube chipboard and honeycomb panels are mentioned. Due to their special properties, chipboard comes mainly used in the manufacture of doors as an inner layer. A disadvantage of these materials is the too low screw extraction resistance, the difficulty attaching fittings and the difficulties in edging.

Ferner finden sich im Stand der Technik Vorschläge, die Dichte der Holzwerkstoffe durch Zusätze zum Leim oder zu den Holzpartikeln zu verringern.Furthermore, there are proposals in the prior art to reduce the density of the wood materials by adding glue or to the wood particles.

Zur Herstellung der Formpressstoffe werden die Holzspäne oder -fasern mit Bindemittel und verschäumbaren oder teilweise verschäumbaren Kunststoffen gemischt, und das erhaltene Gemisch bei erhöhter Temperatur verpresst. Als Bindemittel sind alle für die Verleimung von Holz geeigneten üblichen Bindemittel, wie beispielsweise Harnstoff-Formaldehyd-Harze, brauchbar. Als Füllstoffe kommen verschäumbare oder bereits verschäumte Kunststoffteilchen, bevorzugt expandierbare Thermoplaste wie Styrolpolymerisate, in Frage. Die Teilchengröße der verwendeten Kunststoffe beträgt im allgemeinen bei vorgeschäumten Kunststoffen 0,6 bis 10 mm. Die Kunststoffe werden in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 5 Gewichtsprozent, bezogen auf die Holzspäne, verwendet. Die in den Beispielen beschriebenen Platten weisen bei einer Dicke von 18 bis 21 mm, eine Dichte von 220 kg/m3 bis 430 kg/m3 und eine mittlere Biegefestigkeit von 3,6 N/mm2 bis 17,7 N/mm2 auf.

Suitable fillers are foamable or already foamed plastic particles, preferably expandable thermoplastics such as styrene polymers. The particle size of the plastics used is generally in prefoamed plastics 0.6 to 10 mm. The plastics are used in an amount of 0.5 to 5 weight percent, based on the wood chips. The plates described in the examples have a thickness of 18 to 21 mm, a density of 220 kg / m 3 to 430 kg / m 3 and an average bending strength of 3.6 N / mm 2 to 17.7 N / mm 2 on.

Als Bindemittel kann u.a. Harnstoff-Formaldehyd-Harz oder Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz verwendet werden. Im Beispiel wird ein Produkt mit einer Dicke von 4,5 mm und einer Dichte von 1200 kg/m3 beschrieben.

JP 06031708 beschreibt leichte Holzwerkstoffe, wobei für die Mittelschicht einer Drei-Schichtspanplatte eine Mischung aus 100 Gewichtsteilen Holzpartikeln und 5 bis 30 Gewichtsteilen Partikeln aus synthetischem Harzschaum verwendet werden, wobei diese Harz-Partikel ein spezifisches Gewicht von nicht mehr als 0,3 g/cm3 und eine Druckfestigkeit von mindestens 30 kg/cm2 aufweisen. Ferner wird beschrieben, dass die spezifische Dichte der Holzpartikel einen Wert von 0,5 g/cm3 nicht überschreiten sollte.
In den Beispielen wird eine mechanische Festigkeit der hergestellten Holzwerkstoffe von 4,7 bis 4,9 kg/cm3 unter Verwendung von Holzpartikeln aus der japanischen Zeder mit einer Dichte von 0,35 g/cm3 erreicht. Unter Verwendung von Lauan- und Kapur-Holzpartikeln mit einer mittleren Dichte von 0,6 g/cm3 konnte lediglich eine mechanische Festigkeit der hergestellten Holzwerkstoffe von 3,7 kg/cm3 erreicht werden. JP 06031708 describes light wood materials, wherein for the middle layer of a three-layer chipboard, a mixture of 100 parts by weight of wood particles and 5 to 30 parts by weight of particles of synthetic resin foam are used, said resin particles having a specific gravity of not more than 0.3 g / cm 3 and have a compressive strength of at least 30 kg / cm 2 . Further, it is described that the specific gravity of the wood particles should not exceed 0.5 g / cm 3 .
In the examples, a mechanical strength of the produced wood materials of 4.7 to 4.9 kg / cm 3 is achieved using wood particles from the Japanese cedar with a density of 0.35 g / cm 3 . Using Lauan and Kapur wood particles with an average density of 0.6 g / cm 3 , only a mechanical strength of the produced wood materials of 3.7 kg / cm 3 could be achieved.

Der Nachteil des Stands der Technik besteht zusammengefasst darin, dass zum einen die beschriebenen leichten (Holz)Werkstoffe für die Möbelherstellung eine zu geringe mechanische Festigkeiten, wie beispielsweise einen zu geringen Schraubenauszugswiderstand, aufweisen. Zum anderen weisen die im Stand der Technik beschriebenen Holzwerkstoffe immer noch eine hohe Dichte von über 600 kg/m3 auf. Ferner werden im Stand der Technik zur Herstellung von leichten Holzwerkstoffen Hölzer mit einer für den europäischen Markt ungewöhnlich leichten Dichte von kleiner 0,5 g/cm3 eingesetzt.The disadvantage of the prior art is summarized in that on the one hand, the described light (wood) materials for furniture manufacturing too low mechanical strength, such as too low a screw pull-out resistance, have. On the other hand, the wood materials described in the prior art still have a high density of over 600 kg / m 3 . Furthermore, in the prior art for the production of lightweight wood-based materials, woods with an unusually light density of less than 0.5 g / cm 3 are employed for the European market.

Eine zu geringe mechanische Festigkeit kann beispielsweise zum Brechen oder Reißen der Bauelemente führen. Ferner neigen diese Bauelemente beim Bohren oder Sägen zum zusätzlichen Abplatzen von weiterem Holzmaterial. Bei diesen Werkstoffen ist das Befestigen von Beschlägen erschwert.Too low mechanical strength, for example, lead to breaking or cracking of the components. Furthermore, these components tend during drilling or sawing to additional flaking of further wood material. Fastening hardware is difficult with these materials.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand demnach darin, leichte Holzwerkstoffe aufzuzeigen, die eine im Vergleich zu den handelsüblichen Holzwerkstoffen um 5 bis 40 % geringere Dichte aufweisen bei gleichbleibenden guten mechanischen Festigkeiten. Die mechanische Festigkeit kann beispielsweise durch die Messung der Querzugsfestigkeit bestimmt werden. Ferner sollten diese leichten Holzwerkstoffe unter Verwendung von heimischen, europäischen Hölzern herstellbar sein. Folglich sollten die leichten Holzwerkstoffe unter Verwendung von schweren Hölzern mit einer Dichte von größer gleich 0,5 g/cm3 vergleichbare niedrige Dichten und vergleichbare hohe mechanische Festigkeiten aufweisen wie die Holzwerkstoffe gemäß JP 06031708 , die unter Verwendung von leichten Hölzern hergestellt wurden. Ferner sollten der Quellwert und die Wasseraufnahme der leichten Holzwerkstoffe durch die verringerte Dichte nicht beeinträchtigt werden.The object of the present invention was therefore to show light wood materials, which in comparison to the commercial wood materials by 5 bis 40% lower density with the same good mechanical strength. The mechanical strength can be determined, for example, by measuring the transverse tensile strength. Furthermore, these lightweight wood-based materials should be manufacturable using native, European woods. Consequently, the lightweight wood-based materials using heavy woods with a density greater than or equal to 0.5 g / cm 3 should have comparable low densities and comparable high mechanical strengths as the wood-based materials according to JP 06031708 made using light woods. Furthermore, the swelling and water absorption of the light wood materials should not be affected by the reduced density.

Die Aufgabe wurde gelöst durch leichte Holzwerkstoffe enthaltend 30 bis 95 Gew.-%, bezogen auf den Holzwerkstoff, Holzpartikel, wobei die Holzpartikel eine mittlere Dichte von 0,4 bis 0,85 g/cm3 aufweisen, 2,5 bis 20 Gew.-%, bezogen auf den Holzwerkstoff, Polystyrol und/oder Styrolcopolymerisat als Füllstoff, wobei der Füllstoff eine Schüttdichte von 10 bis 100 kg/m3 aufweist, und 2,5 bis 50 Gew.-%, bezogen auf den Holzwerkstoff, Bindemittel, wobei die mittlere Dichte des leichten Holzwerkstoffs kleiner gleich 600 kg/m3 beträgt.The object was achieved by light wood materials containing 30 to 95 wt .-%, based on the wood material, wood particles, wherein the wood particles have a mean density of 0.4 to 0.85 g / cm 3 , 2.5 to 20 wt. -%, based on the wood material, polystyrene and / or styrene copolymer as a filler, wherein the filler has a bulk density of 10 to 100 kg / m 3 , and 2.5 to 50 wt .-%, based on the wood material, binder, wherein the average density of the light wood material is less than or equal to 600 kg / m 3 .

Die Gewichtsangabe des Bindemittels bezieht sich auf den Feststoffgehalt des Bindemittels. Die mittlere Dichte der Holzpartikel bezieht sich auf eine Holzfeuchte von 12 %. Ferner bezieht sich die mittlere Dichte der Holzpartikel auf eine gemittelte Dichte über alle eingesetzten Holzpartikel.The weight of the binder refers to the solids content of the binder. The average density of the wood particles refers to a wood moisture content of 12%. Furthermore, the average density of the wood particles refers to an average density over all wood particles used.

Vorteilhaft weisen die erfindungsgemäßen Holzwerkstoffe eine mittlere Dichte von 200 bis 600 kg/m3, bevorzugt 200 bis 575 kg/m3, besonders bevorzugt 250 bis 550 kg/m3, insbesondere 300 bis 500 kg/m3, auf.Advantageously, the wood-base materials according to the invention have an average density of 200 to 600 kg / m 3 , preferably 200 to 575 kg / m 3 , particularly preferably 250 to 550 kg / m 3 , in particular 300 to 500 kg / m 3 .

Bei der Suspensionspolymerisation wird Styrol, gegebenenfalls unter Zusatz weiterer Comonomere in wässriger Suspension in Gegenwart eines üblichen Suspensionsstabilisators mittels radikalbildender Katalysatoren polymerisiert. Das Treibmittel und gegebenenfalls weitere Zusatzstoffe können dabei bei der Polymerisation mit vorgelegt werden oder im Laufe der Polymerisation oder nach beendeter Polymerisation dem Ansatz zugefügt werden. Die erhaltenen perlförmigen gegebenenfalls expandierbaren Styrolpolymerisate werden nach beendeter Polymerisation von der wässrigen Phase abgetrennt, gewaschen, getrocknet und gesiebt.In the suspension polymerization, styrene, optionally with the addition of further comonomers in aqueous suspension, is polymerized in the presence of a customary suspension stabilizer by means of free-radical-forming catalysts. The blowing agent and, if appropriate, further additives may be introduced during the polymerization or may be added to the batch in the course of the polymerization or after the end of the polymerization. The resulting bead-shaped optionally expandable styrene polymers are separated from the aqueous phase after the end of the polymerization, washed, dried and sieved.

Bei dem Extrusionsverfahren wird das Treibmittel beispielsweise über einen Extruder in das Polymer eingemischt, durch eine Düsenplatte gefördert und zu Partikeln oder Strängen granuliert.In the extrusion process, the blowing agent is mixed for example via an extruder in the polymer, conveyed through a nozzle plate and granulated into particles or strands.

Der Füllstoff Polystyrol oder Styrolcopolymerisat ist besonders bevorzugt expandierbar.The filler polystyrene or styrene copolymer is particularly preferably expandable.
