Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of wood and / or composites, in particular chipboard and fiberboard, insulation boards, boards and composite materials containing lignocellulose and popcorn.
  • Wood and / or composite materials, in particular chipboard or fiberboard have been known for more than a hundred years as an alternative for solid wood in the furniture industry, construction, etc.
  • For the quality of wood and / or composite materials play several factors, including in particular the bulk density, the transverse tensile strength and thickness swelling a role, but especially in many applications, the bending strength.
  • Wood and composites containing popcorn are disclosed. These have the advantage of a low density. However, it is the task of further improving the wood and / or composite material disclosed therein.

As hydrophobing agents, anti-flame agents, binders and mixtures of all these materials.
  • the intermediate layer contains - as described - popcorn.
  • popcorn in the sense of the present invention comprises in particular all materials which, like the puffed corn ( Zea mays, convar microspermum ), if appropriate after adequate greasing, explode at high temperatures due to fast heating of the water present in the seed and so converted the starch contained in the seed into a foamy consistency.
  • Such behavior is known inter alia by quinoa grain, amaranth, rice or wheat, materials based on these raw materials are explicitly referred to in the context of the present invention as “popcorn” and includes, the term “popcorn” should not limited to corn only and has been chosen for reasons of simplicity, clarity and readability.
  • the intermediate layer is preferably ⁇ 60% (w / w), more preferably ⁇ 80% (w / w), still more preferably> 90% (w / w) and> 95% (w / w) .) Of popcorn and otherwise preferably predominantly of wood chips and / or wood fibers, preferably here. lignocellulosic chips and / or fibers (such as of hemp, flax, etc.) or plastics, thermoplastics, thermosets, plastic fibers, such as. As PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), PVAc (polyvinyl acetate) or PP, PE supporting fibers), optionally with the addition of additives, such as.
  • the intermediate layer may be 100% popcorn.
  • the popcorn has a particle size distribution in which ⁇ 50% and ⁇ 90% of the popcorn have a particle size of ⁇ 2 mm and ⁇ 10 mm.

  • the popcorn has a particle size distribution in which ⁇ 50% and ⁇ 80% of the popcorn have a particle size of ⁇ 3 mm and ⁇ 8 mm.
  • the popcorn has an average particle size distribution of ⁇ 3 mm and ⁇ 6 mm. This has been found to be beneficial for many applications within the present invention.
  • the popcorn has an average particle size distribution of ⁇ 3.5 mm and ⁇ 5 mm.
  • the fat content of the popcorn before processing is ⁇ 10 (wt)%.
  • fat content is not understood the total amount of fat in popcorn, but the proportion of fat, which was used to hydrophobize the seed epidermis, which leads to better inclusion of the water contained in the seed.
  • the fat content is ⁇ 5 (wt)%
  • the present invention also relates to a method for producing a wood and / or composite panel according to the invention according to claim 7. This method has proven particularly useful for wood and / or composite panels in which the cover layers receive wood fibers and / or wood chips. In this way, the wood and / or composite plate can be made directly by a single Verpress suits.
  • Step a) can be done by simply sprinkling fibers, chips and / or granules.
  • the popcorn granules are preferably either by the Bichsel process ( WO 1999042005A1 ) or by Puffung, z. B. by the microwave method, and then crushed.
  • thermoplastics thermosets, aminoplasts, phenoplasts, isocyanates, proteins, tannins, starch, synthetic binders or natural binders, or mixtures of binders, such as, for example, urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, melamine-reinforced urea-formaldehyde resin, tannin-formaldehyde resin, Phenol-formaldehyde resin, polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate or mixtures thereof.
  • additives such as hydrophobing agents, anti-flaking agents, etc., are attached.
  • Starting material for the following material examples is grain corn; alternatively, however, other starchy grains may be used as well.
  • feed corn kernels are first crushed and the grain fragments subsequently subjected to the pressure and temperature effect according to the Bichsel method (US Pat. WO 1999042005A1 ) expands a defined process.
  • the popcorn granules produced in this way are now fractionated, so that a granulate having particle sizes of 0.5 mm to 8 mm and a bulk density of about 30 kg / m 3 to 70 kg / m 3 is present.
  • starchy grains may be expanded by means of a microwave oven or other common methods.
  • Fig. 1 shows a particle size distribution suitable for the production of composite based on expanded corn kernels and as used in the following examples.
