  In the inorganic plate, it is desirable to have a porous structure for weight reduction. However, if the entire plate is made porous, the surface becomes porous and has a rough surface, which is inferior in design, and dust enters the recesses on the surface, and dirt tends to adhere. Furthermore, it is difficult to give a clear uneven pattern to the surface by embossing. There is also a problem that the internal structure is easily deteriorated due to water absorption, and further, the freeze-thaw resistance is deteriorated.

As means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides 15 to 35% by weight of a hydraulic inorganic material, 1 to 15% by weight of a vitreous material, 20 to 45% by weight of aggregate, and 20 to 50% of reinforcing fibers. A hardened layer of a raw material mixture mainly composed of 30% by mass is used as a front and back layer, 15 to 35% by mass of a hydraulic inorganic material, 1 to 15% by mass of a vitreous material, 10 to 30% by mass of aggregate, The present invention provides a lightweight inorganic board having as its core a cured layer of a raw material mixture mainly composed of 20 to 30% by mass of reinforcing fibers and 15 to 30% by mass of a combustible organic component and / or an inorganic lightweight body.
The hydraulic inorganic material is slag and limes, the vitreous material is a low-melting glass having a softening temperature of 900 ° C. or less, the aggregate is quartz sand and / or chamotte, and the reinforcing fibers are Preferably, the combustible organic component is organic fiber and / or plastic foam and / or pulverized wood cement board, and the lime is preferably slaked lime.
The lightweight inorganic board is preferably composed of hydraulic inorganic material 15 to 35% by mass, glassy material 1 to 15% by mass, aggregate 20 to 45% by mass, and reinforcing fibers 20 to 30% by mass. Raw material mixture for front and back layers, hydraulic inorganic material 15 to 35% by mass, glassy material 1 to 15% by mass, aggregate 10 to 30% by mass, reinforcing fiber 20 to 30% by mass, and flammability A core layer raw material mixture mainly composed of 15 to 30% by mass of an organic component and / or an inorganic lightweight body is prepared, and the front or back layer raw material mixture is dispersed on a template to form a surface layer or a back layer mat. Then, the core layer raw material mixture is sprayed from above to form the core layer mat, and the front and back layer raw material mixture is further sprayed thereon to form the back layer or the surface layer mat, thus forming. Three-layer mat Performs clamping aging hardening are produced by subsequently calcining.

[Action]
In the present invention, since the core layer has a porous structure and the front and back layers have a dense structure, the surface becomes dense and smooth, and the weight is reduced and at the same time, dirt is difficult to adhere, and a clear emboss is provided. It is also easy to attach. In addition, since reinforcing fibers are added to the front and back layers and the core layer, the expansion and shrinkage of the molded body due to firing is suppressed by the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing fibers, and the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the front and back layers and the core layer is reduced. The occurrence of defects such as cracks, warpage and twisting is prevented.
When the hydraulic inorganic material is slag and lime, the vitreous material is a low-melting glass having a softening temperature of 900 ° C. or less, and when the aggregate is silica sand or chamotte, the amount of water added Even if the slag is reduced, the slag is highly active and rich in chemical reactivity, and can cause a curing reaction smoothly. The lightweight inorganic board of the present invention is manufactured by spraying a raw material mixture on a template, forming the mat, pressing and curing and curing, and firing the mat smoothly as described above. Therefore, it becomes easy to remove the cured mat from the template. In order to lower the firing temperature, a glassy material having a low melting point is used, but the slag also reacts with the glassy material and starts melting at a temperature lower than the original melting point of the glassy material. In addition, the amount of water added is reduced and the firing temperature is greatly reduced to suppress the expansion and contraction of the molded body.
When chamotte is selected as the aggregate, the flow of the vitreous material softened material is suppressed, and the expansion and contraction during firing is suppressed. The shrinkage due to the escape of water contained after curing the above-mentioned hydraulic inorganic material is about 1% in dimensional ratio, and when chamotte is present in the raw material mixture in an amount of 20% by mass or more, the flow of the softened material containing glassy material is suppressed. In addition, the vitreous material tends to expand slightly during firing, and these points are balanced, and the lightweight inorganic plate of the present invention has a shrinkage rate of almost 0 after firing, and the fire resistance is improved.

〔effect〕
Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to provide a lightweight inorganic plate, and further, generation of defects such as cracks, warpage, and twist due to expansion and contraction due to firing is surely prevented, and durability and design characteristics having a deep uneven pattern on the surface. A lightweight and large-sized lightweight inorganic board excellent in workability and workability is provided. The lightweight inorganic board is thus extremely useful for an inner wall board or an outer wall board of a building.

The present invention is described in detail below.
[Hydraulic inorganic material]
Examples of the hydraulic inorganic material of the present invention include ordinary portland cement, early-strength cement, alumina cement, blast furnace slag cement, fly ash cement and other cements, blast furnace slag, electric furnace oxidation slag, electric furnace reduction slag, and other slag, There are limes such as quicklime and slaked lime, gypsum, magnesium carbonate and the like. A desirable hydraulic inorganic material is a combination of the slag and limes, particularly slaked lime.
The hydraulic inorganic material can harden the green plate before firing, can be a hardened green plate that has some strength and is not easily damaged, and improves workability, yield, and the like.

[Glass-containing material]
Furthermore, in this invention, the vitreous content material which fuse | melts by baking and becomes a binder is added. Examples of such a vitreous material include shirasu, fly ash, mine stone, glass powder, and ground glass. What is desirable as the glassy-containing material is a low-melting glass having a softening point of 900 ° C. or lower. As the low-melting glass, a glass having an increased content of low-melting-point components such as PbO, B ₂ O ₃ and ZnO is used. For example, E glass powder having a softening point of 840 ° C. and a melting point of 1200 ° C. is a desirable low-melting glass. E glass, or electrical glass, is a glass fiber powder, the average particle size is 30 μm, the main components are SiO ₂ 54 mass%, Al ₂ O ₃ 15 mass%, CaO 23 mass%, B ₂ O ₃ 7 mass%. Because it contains B ₂ O ₃ , it has a low melting point and enables low-temperature firing at around 1000 ° C.

〔aggregate〕
Furthermore, in the present invention, an aggregate which is melted by firing and becomes a main element of the plate structure is added. Examples of the aggregate include clay minerals such as ceramic stone, feldspar, wax, kaolin, halosite, kibushi clay, glazed clay, sericite, chamotte, dolomite, quartz sand, quartzite powder, diatomaceous earth, glitter, There are siliceous materials such as silica fume. Among the above-mentioned aggregates, silica sand or quartzite powder having a brain value of 3800 and a SiO ₂ purity of 95% by mass or more, or chamotte is preferable.

[Reinforcing fiber]
Further, in the present invention, inorganic fibers are added to the front and back layers in order to suppress expansion and contraction due to firing. Examples of the inorganic fibers include mineral fibers such as wollastonite and sepiolite, metal fibers such as steel fibers and stainless fibers, glass fibers, and ceramic fibers. A desirable reinforcing fiber is wollastonite. Wollastonite has a larger aspect ratio (15) than ordinary reinforcing fibers. Wollastonite improves the dispersibility of the raw material mixture, and the dry method in which the raw material mixture is sprayed on the template prevents the formation of agglomerates and lumps in the raw material mixture and improves the spraying workability. . Generally, wollastonite having an average fiber length of 600 μm and an average fiber diameter of 40 μm is used. Further, wollastonite improves shape retention and cutting properties, and facilitates the production of large size plates.

[Inorganic lightweight body]
In the present invention, an inorganic lightweight body may be added to form a porous structure in the core layer. Examples of the inorganic lightweight body include pearlite, fly ash balloon, shirasu balloon, and glass foam, and those having a bulk specific gravity of 0.4 or less and a compressive strength of 10 N / mm ² or more are preferable.

[Flammable organic components]
In the present invention, a flammable organic component may be added together with the inorganic lightweight body or in place of the inorganic lightweight body in order to burn out during firing and form a porous structure in the core layer. Examples of such flammable organic components include wood chips, wood fiber bundles, wood pulp, wood wool, wood flour and other wood materials, polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, acrylic fibers and other organic fibers, foam There are synthetic resin components such as polystyrene beads, expandable polyethylene beads and expandable polypropylene beads, or wood cement board waste.
Wood cement board waste materials used as a source of combustible organic components are wood reinforcing materials such as wood chips, wood fiber bundles, wood pulp, wood wool, wood flour, ordinary Portland cement, early strength cement, alumina cement, blast furnace Using a raw material mixture mainly composed of cements such as slag cement and fly ash cement, limes such as quick lime and slaked lime, or hydraulic inorganic materials such as gypsum and magnesium carbonate, dry method, semi-dry method, wet method The waste material of the wood cement board formed into a plate shape by the extrusion molding method or the like is used to grind and recycle the end material in the manufacturing process and these waste materials generated at the time of extension and reconstruction.
The wood cement board usually contains 10 to 30% by mass of the wood content.

  The wood cement board may further contain organic fibers such as polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber and acrylic fiber, and flammable organic components such as expanded polystyrene beads, polyethylene beads and polypropylene beads. These combustible organic components are also burned out and contribute to the porous structure of the core layer together with the wood.

  The wood cement board waste is usually pulverized to a particle size of about 10 to 100 μm by an impact type pulverizer or a grinding type pulverizer, and used as a raw material of the present invention.

[Raw material mixture for front and back layers]
The raw material mixture for the front and back layers used in the present invention is 15 to 35% by mass of the hydraulic inorganic material, 1 to 15% by mass of the glassy material, 20 to 45% by mass of the aggregate, and 20 to 45% of the reinforcing fiber. It is a mixture containing 30% by mass as a main component. When slag and calcareous, particularly slaked lime are combined as the hydraulic inorganic material, the calcareous content is 5 to 15% by mass with respect to the amount of slag added. If the amount of the hydraulic inorganic material (slag) added is less than 15% by mass, the mat may be insufficiently cured, and the cured mat may be damaged at the time of demolding, and the sintering and hardening by firing is not sufficient. Also, the fire resistance is not sufficient. However, when added in an amount exceeding 35% by mass, the shrinkage increases due to rapid melting of the slag during firing. When the addition amount of the vitreous material is less than 1% by mass, a melting stimulating effect on other raw materials cannot be obtained, and low-temperature firing becomes difficult, and it is added in an amount exceeding 15% by mass. Then, since the vitreous material is rapidly melted at a certain temperature, stable firing cannot be performed. Addition of aggregates, particularly silica sand and silica stone powder, allows the strength of the plate to be stably expressed by high-temperature firing at 1000 to 1200 ° C. However, when the aggregate is added in an amount exceeding 45% by mass, the specific gravity of the plate becomes high, and it is difficult to reduce the weight, and conversely, the strength tends to decrease, and the workability also deteriorates. . When the aggregate is added in an amount less than 20% by mass, the strength of the plate is lowered and the frost resistance is also deteriorated. Flammable organic components and / or inorganic lightweight bodies may be used.

[Raw material mixture for core layer]
The raw material mixture for a core layer used in the present invention is 15 to 35% by mass of the hydraulic inorganic material, 1 to 15% by mass of the vitreous material, 10 to 30% by mass of the aggregate, and 20 to 20% of the reinforcing fiber. 30% by mass, and further a combustible organic component and / or 15 to 30% by mass of an inorganic lightweight body. When the amount of the combustible organic component and / or the inorganic lightweight body is less than 15% by mass, sufficient porosity is not imparted and weight reduction is not performed. Further, when the amount of the combustible organic component and / or the inorganic lightweight body is more than 30% by mass, it becomes excessively porous and is inferior in mechanical strength and frost resistance.

[Production method of inorganic board]
The inorganic board of the present invention has a three-layer structure.
In the inorganic board of the present invention, if a porous structure is used as a core layer and the front and back layers are made of a non-porous structure, a three-layer structure of the inorganic board makes the core layer porous so that the weight is reduced, cutting workability and construction However, since the front and back layers are not porous and have a dense structure, the surface is smooth and has a favorable appearance, and clear embossing is easy. In addition, the front and back layers prevent moisture from entering the plate, so that the internal structure is hardly deteriorated and the plate is excellent in durability and antifreeze-thaw resistance.

  In order to produce such a three-layered inorganic plate, the material mixture for the front and back layers does not include the combustible organic component and / or the inorganic lightweight body, and the material mixture for the core layer includes the combustible material. The thing containing an organic organic component and / or an inorganic lightweight body is used.

  And the surface layer or back layer mat is formed by spraying the raw material mixture for the front and back layers on the template, the core layer mat is formed by spraying the raw material mixture for the core layer on the surface layer or back layer mat, The raw material mixture for front and back layers is sprayed on the core layer mat to form the back layer or the front layer mat.

In the above method, a predetermined uneven shade pattern may be formed on the template surface. Further, the pressing is performed by further stacking a template on the formed mat and performing a normal surface pressure of 5 to 8 MPa in the pressing device. The upper surface of the mat is used as a surface and a predetermined surface is applied to the surface of the upper template. An uneven shade pattern may be formed.
Curing and curing is carried out in the above-mentioned pressed state, and a condition of 6 to 12 hours is usually employed at a temperature of 45 to 80 ° C.
After curing and curing, it is depressurized and desirably dried in an absolutely dry state, and subjected to predetermined processing such as actual processing. Further, if desired, a glaze is applied to at least the surface of the raw inorganic plate. As the glaze used in the present invention, general glazes such as lead yu, frit yu, bristol yu, porcelain yu and the like are used. Thereafter, the raw inorganic plate is introduced into a firing furnace and fired. As firing conditions, usually 1000 to 1200 ° C., desirably 1100 to 1150 ° C., 10 to 30 minutes are employed.
The inorganic plate thus produced usually has a thickness of 15 to 30 mm and a specific gravity of about 1.2 to 1.8. In the inorganic plate, the ratio of surface layer: core layer: back layer is preferably 3: 4: 3. .
Examples of the present invention are shown below.

[Examples 1 to 4 , 6 and 7 , Comparative Examples 1 to 6 , Reference Example 1 ]
Spread the raw material mixture for the front and back layers mixed in the composition of Table 1 on the template, spray the mixed raw material mixture for the core layer on it, and further spread the mixed raw material mixture for the front and back layers thereon After forming the three-layer mat and stacking the template with the three-layer mat in multiple stages, pressing with a surface pressure of 5 to 8 MPa, then pressing with a pressing device, and curing at 50 ° C. for 8 hours in the pressed state Cured. Thereafter, the mold was released from the pressure and demolded, dried in an absolutely dry state, and then fired at the firing temperature shown in Table 1 for 15 minutes.

The following physical property evaluation was performed on the inorganic plates of the above Examples, Comparative Examples , and Reference Examples .

Ratio between dimension after molding and dimension after firing (%)
(2) Specific gravity Absolute dry gravity
(3) Bending strength Conforms to JIS A 1408 (N / mm ² )

The results of the above physical property evaluation are shown in Table 1.

Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that the lightweight inorganic plates obtained by molding the three-layer mats of Examples 1 to 4 , 6 and 7 are lightweight and excellent in bending strength, cutability and freeze-thaw resistance.
In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, wollastonite is not added to the core layer, and in Comparative Example 3, wollastonite is added to the core layer in an amount exceeding 30% by mass (40% by mass). In both cases, the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the core layer and the front and back layers is large, and defects occur between the layers, resulting in deterioration of freeze-thaw resistance. In Comparative Example 4, hydraulic inorganic material (slag) is added to both the front and back layers and the core layer in an amount exceeding 35% by mass (40% by mass), and the sintering reaction is caused by rapid melting of the slag. Accelerates and becomes inferior in machinability. Further, in Comparative Example 5 in which the hydraulic inorganic material is added in an amount (10% by mass) less than 15% by mass (front and back layers) and 15% by mass (core layer), the hardness of the cured mat at the time of demolding is high. The comparative example 6 in which the sufficient sintering effect is not obtained, the strength of the product is insufficient, and the vitreous material is added in an amount exceeding 15% by mass (35% by mass) is the glass during firing. Due to the rapid melting of the material-containing material, the sintering reaction is accelerated, resulting in a product with poor cutting properties.

  In the present invention, a lightweight inorganic board having good surface design, high strength and excellent freeze-thaw resistance is provided, and the lightweight inorganic board is useful as a building board.
