Abstract

A material consisting of a compressed mass containing vegetable matter incorporated into a solidified binder such as gelatin. A dye may be added to the mass. The rigidity and hardness of the material vary depending on the density of vegetable matter in the mass, whereby the material may be used to make a wide variety of articles. As it is biodegradable, this novel material is environmentally friendly.

Description

MATERIAU BIODEGRADABLE POUR LA FABRICATION D'ARTICLES DIVERS BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF VARIOUS ITEMS
La présente Invention concerne un matériau biodégrada¬ ble pour applications multiples, notamment pour réali¬ ser des produits d'emballage et de conditionnement pour articles divers.The present invention relates to a biodegradable material for multiple applications, in particular for realizing packaging and packaging products for various articles.
Pour conditionner des appareils et articles, on utilise couramment des matériaux tels que la frigolite, le styropor, etc. Ces matériaux ont le grand désavantage de poser le problème de leur recyclage.To condition devices and articles, materials such as frigolite, styropor, etc. are commonly used. These materials have the great disadvantage of posing the problem of their recycling.
L'invention propose un nouveau matériau qui, outre une rigidité comparable à celle de la frigolite, présente l'avantage d'être biodégradable et de ne nécessiter donc aucun problème de recyclage. Le matériau suivant l'invention consiste en une masse comprimée contenant des végétaux incorporés dans un liant solidifié. Sa fabrication est définie dans les revendications.The invention provides a new material which, in addition to a rigidity comparable to that of frigolite, has the advantage of being biodegradable and therefore does not require any recycling problem. The material according to the invention consists of a compressed mass containing plants incorporated in a solidified binder. Its manufacture is defined in the claims.
Ce matériau nouveau présente une rigidité et une dureté qui varient selon la densité de végétaux incorporés dans la masse. Sa résistance mécanique permet son uti¬ lisation pour la fabrication d'articles aussi nombreux que variés : produits d'emballage et de conditionnement où il peut avantageusement remplacer la frigolite, le styropor, etc, articles confectionnés par moulage ou injection où il peut remplacer avec avantage des matiè¬ res plastiques ou le bois. Etant biodégradable, ce matériau naturel contribue à la préservation de l'envi¬ ronnement. Dans de l'eau portée à ébullition est versé un liant, par exemple de la gélatine alimentaire telle que la gélatine 240 Bloo 8 Mesh. Dans le liant sont ensuite versés des végétaux découpés en tronçons, en paillettes ou autre, ou moulus en particules. Les végétaux sont par exemple de l'herbe, du foin, des plantes ou légumes étuvés, etc. Dans le liant peut être ajouté un colorant et dans le mélange peut éventuellement être insufflé un gaz afin d'y produire une expansion de volume. Le liant apporte au mélange son volume et les végétaux lui confèrent la rigidité et la dureté.This new material has a rigidity and a hardness which vary according to the density of plants incorporated in the mass. Its mechanical strength allows it to be used for the manufacture of articles as numerous as they are varied: packaging and conditioning products where it can advantageously replace frigolite, styropor, etc., articles made by molding or injection where it can replace with advantage of plastics or wood. Being biodegradable, this natural material contributes to the preservation of the environment. A binder is poured into boiling water, for example edible gelatin such as 240 Bloo 8 Mesh gelatin. In the binder are then poured plants cut into sections, flakes or the like, or ground into particles. The plants are for example grass, hay, steamed plants or vegetables, etc. In the binder can be added a dye and in the mixture can optionally be blown a gas in order to produce an expansion of volume there. The binder gives the mixture its volume and the plants give it rigidity and hardness.
La pâte ainsi obtenue est versée à chaud dans un moule et comprimée. Après refroidissement, le produit pré- sente une rigidité et une dureté qui dépendent de la densité de végétaux dans la masse.The paste thus obtained is poured hot into a mold and compressed. After cooling, the product exhibits a rigidity and a hardness which depend on the density of plants in the mass.
Le matériau suivant l'invention peut être utilisé pour la fabrication de nombreux articles. Il peut notamment être utilisé pour toutes sortes de produits d'emballage et de conditionnement où il peut avantageusement rem¬ placer la frigolite, le styropor et autres produits couramment utilisés pour cet usage. Il peut également se substituer à des matières plastiques dans la fabri- cation de pièces diverses par moulage ou injection. Enfin, ce matériau peut encore remplacer utilement le bois pour la confection d'articles moulés. Non seule¬ ment ces articles sont biodégradables, mais en outre l'emploi du matériau suivant l'invention en lieu et place de bois permet de préserver les forêts, ce qui ajoute encore au respect de l'environnement. Toute uti¬ lisation ou application du matériau suivant l'invention présente l'énorme avantage d'éliminer tout problème de récupération et de recyclage. Parmi les nombreuses utilisations possibles, citons par exemple :The material according to the invention can be used for the manufacture of numerous articles. It can in particular be used for all kinds of packaging and packaging products where it can advantageously replace the frigolite, styropor and other products commonly used for this use. It can also replace plastic materials in the manufacture of various parts by molding or injection. Finally, this material can still usefully replace wood for making molded articles. These articles are not only biodegradable, but also the use of the material according to the invention in place of wood makes it possible to preserve the forests, which further adds to respect for the environment. Any use or application of the material according to the invention has the enormous advantage of eliminating any problem of recovery and recycling. Among the many possible uses, let us quote for example:
1) confection d'emballages divers,1) making various packaging,
2) fabrication de pièces moulées ou injectées ne devant pas répondre à des normes de température, d'humidité ou de pression, par exemple plateaux, coffrets, jouets, etc.2) manufacture of molded or injected parts that do not have to meet temperature, humidity or pressure standards, for example trays, boxes, toys, etc.
3) substitut au carton,3) substitute for cardboard,
4) fabrication de cercueils bon marché, 5) fabrication de supports, palettes, etc.4) manufacture of inexpensive coffins, 5) manufacture of supports, pallets, etc.
Les articles confectionnés au moyen du matériau biodé¬ gradable suivant l'invention peuvent être parachevés par vaporisation d'une couche de silicone par exemple. The articles made using the biodegradable material according to the invention can be finished by spraying with a layer of silicone, for example.
