Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing bamboo scrimberboard.
  • Manufacturing bamboo scrimberboard is well known.
  • Journal of Wood Science, Springer Japan KK, KP, vol. 65, no. 1, 21 June 2019, pages 1 - 10 disclose production methods for bamboo plates.
  • Effects of particle size and orientation on properties of particleboard made from Ethiopian highland bamboo (Yushania alpina) INBAR Using Wood Composites as a Tool for sustainable Forestry, Vol.
  • bamboo scrimberboard is usually manufactured using Asian bamboo, especially Chinese Moso bamboo, known as Phyllostachys pubescens. Phyllostachys pubescens is easy to handle and offers good properties for manufacturing scrimberboard. However, locally concentrating the production of bamboo scrimberboard to Asia for worldwide supplying with bamboo scrimberboard causes problems. Besides geopolitical problems, intensively exploiting resources usually leads to damages caused to the environment.
  • the present invention was made in view of the prior art described above, and the object of the present invention is to provide an alternative method for the production of bamboo scrimberboard not utilizing Asian bamboo, while addressing the problems expressed above.
  • the result is a bamboo scrimberboard with preferable mechanical and durability properties that is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective to produce and consumes less energy, and it enables to utilize bamboo of African origin.
  • the present invention provides a method according to the independent method claim 1.
  • the method allows for utilizing bamboo of African origin for the production of scrimberboard.
  • the fourth step and the fifth step have the surprising effect of producing low moisture content bamboo fiber bundles and therewith save a significant amount of energy and time.
  • drying the fiber bundles without changing the chemical makeup of the fibers is also a possible embodiment of thermally modifying the fiber bundles. Drying the fiber bundles without changing the chemical makeup of the fibers includes particularly a physical drying process.
  • the bamboo is Yushania alpina (African Highland Bamboo) and/or Oxytenanthera abyssinica (African Lowland bamboo).
  • Yushania alpina and Oxytenanthera abyssinica offer great characteristics for being used for manufacturing scrimberboard.
  • Phyllostachys pubescens one surprisingly finds that Yushania alpina is 74% more water resistant (after 2 h boiling, EN 1087-1 standard), offers 17% more stiffness (EN 310 standard) and 6% more strength (EN 310 standard).
  • the present disclosure is applicable to other bamboo species with comparable properties to Yushania alpina and/or Oxytenanthera abyssinica that are of African or non-African origin. It is further thinkable that those other bamboo species with comparable properties are found in comparable proveniences and/or climates as Yushania alpina and/or Oxytenanthera abyssinica.
  • the bamboo is of Ethiopian origin.
  • the used bamboo is 4 to 7 years old and/or the used bamboo culms have a diameter of 40 mm to 85 mm and/or the used bamboo culms have a wall thickness of 7.5 mm to 15 mm. It has been found, that 4 to 7 year old bamboo with a culm diameter of 40 mm to 85 mm and a wall thickness of 7.5 mm to 15 mm is suited for manufacturing of bamboo scrimberboard very well.
  • the outer arc length of the splits is a fraction of the bamboo pole circumference, wherein the poles are preferably split into 2 to 10 splits, wherein the poles are more preferably split into 3 to 5 splits.
  • This allows for an effective disintegrating of the splits into fiber bundles.
  • the anatomical features of African bamboo differ from those of Asian bamboo. Therefore, adapting process parameters is crucial for manufacturing high-quality bamboo scrimberboard.
  • the fiber bundles in the third step, disintegrating and the splits and removing the waxy layers and siliceous layers is carried out such, that the fiber bundles have a spatial structure that is favourable for the penetration of fluid. This enables an effective drying process of the bamboo fiber bundles.
  • the fourth and the fifth step are performed in the same apparatus. This allows for saving time and energy, and for preventing the dehumified bamboo fiber bundles from getting wet before being thermally modified or during the modification.
  • a temperature of 150°C to 230°C, preferably 160°C to 180°C, is applied to the fiber bundles for thermal modification. With this, the hemicellulose content is significantly reduced.
  • the temperature is applied for 2 hours to 7 hours to the fiber bundles, wherein the temperature is preferably applied for 3 hours to the fiber bundles. It was surprisingly found, that after applying 160°C for 3 hours to the fiber bundles, the hemicellulose content is reduced to approximately 20.7%. Compared to that, the hemicellulose content of Phyllostachys pubescens fiber bundles is reduced to approximately 23.5%.
  • a phenolic adhesive is used as adhesive. It has surprisingly been found that a phenolic adhesive is best suited for forming a layered mat from the bamboo fiber bundles.
  • the used adhesive contains an accessory agent, wherein the accessory agent preferably is a wax. This advantageously supports the effect of the adhesive.
  • the adhesive is applied such, that the adhesive content is 10% to 16% of the mass of the layered mat reduced by the mass of water therein, preferably 12% to 14%, more preferably 12%. It has been surprisingly found, that said parameters offer a firm and stable scrimberboard.
  • the adhesive is applied such, that the accessory agent is 0.5% to 3% of the mass of the layered mat reduced by the mass of water therein, preferably 1%. This improves the stability of the manufactured scrimberboard even more.
  • the adhesive in the sixth step, is atomized for application, wherein the adhesive is preferably directed through a nozzle.
  • the adhesive is applied by dipping. This increases the level of moisture content of resinated fibers to a high level, thus necessitating a further drying step. Furthermore, the application by dipping and subsequent dripping off is creating an uneven adhesive distribution.
  • the application by atomizing offers a greatly reduced moisture content of the resinated fibers, a reduced adhesive consumption and a reduction of consumed energy and time.
  • the fiber bundles are placed in parallel into the press mold. Placing the fiber bundles parallel into the press mold improves the structure of the scrimberboard advantageously.
  • the applied heat and pressure are adjusted to a certain heat-value and a certain pressure-value to obtain a certain thickness of the scrimberboard, wherein the thickness is preferably chosen to be 12 mm to 25 mm, preferably 15 mm to 25 mm, more preferably about 23 mm. 23 mm is found to be an ideal thickness for bamboo scrimberboard.

  • This further curing step improves the quality of the scrimberboard even more and/or decreases the cycle time.
  • the further heat-value is 60°C to 160°C, preferably 80°C, and/or the further pressure-value is 0.5 MPa to 2 MPa, preferably 1.2 MPa.

It is thinkable, that wherein in the ninth step, the heat and the pressure are applied for the same duration as the application of heat and pressure in the eighth step.
  • heat and pressure are applied to the scrimberboard in two separate apparatuses.
  • the separation of the hotpressing and curing requires the right timing and control of moisture to prevent blow-outs. Said parameters for temperature, pressure, and time enable to depressurize prematurely and safely proceed following manufacturing steps.
  • the method furthermore comprises the following step: tenth step: conditioning the scrimberboard at a temperature and a relative humidity, wherein the temperature is preferably constant and/or wherein the relative humidity is preferably constant.
