Description
LAMINATE
The present invention relates to a method regarding the manufacturing of a laminate that comprises at least two sheet formed elements, according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also includes the laminate.
There are a number of so called wood-laminates and similar products on the market in which additives and/or chemical treatment mutually joins the sheet elements in the laminate. From an environmental point of view it is desirable to eliminate additives and chemical treatments to the greatest possible extent.
One object of the present invention is to provide a method for the manufacturing of an extraordinarily attractive and environmental friendly laminate that consists of a number of sheet elements of lignocellulosic material, which laminate is manufactured without addition of adhesives.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a laminate that is free from the addition of bonding agents.
These objects are achieved in that the method and the laminate show the characteristic features set forth in the accompanying claims.
Among the invention's many advantages the following can be mentioned.
Since no addition of bonding agents is used in the manufacturing of the laminate the laminate is extremely environmentally friendly.
The laminate demonstrates good resistance to water and tolerance to changes in "temperature and can for example be used on building facades.
The laminate demonstrates better hardness qualities than solid wood such as, for example, plywood or LVL (Laminated veneer lumber), which makes the laminate suitable as flooring and ceiling/roofing material.
The laminate demonstrates high resistance to biological attacks such as, for example, fungus attacks because the chemical structure of the laminate has been changed during the manufacturing process.
In most cases, the laminate's surface structure needs no additional finish heightening treatment because the manufacturing process according to the invention results in a good surface finish of the laminate.
The laminate demonstrates better dimensional stability (resistance to shrinking and swelling) than solid wood and other manufactured wood products such as, for example, LVL and plywood. Changes in relative humidity result in extremely small changes in the dimensions of the laminate.
The laminate can easily be manufactured in optional size and with optional number of sheet elements, and the thickness of the sheet elements can naturally also be varied.
The shape of the laminate can be varied as desired, the laminate can, for example, be flat, single-bent or double-bent in its shape.
The laminate product is aesthetically appealing and it obtains an appealing colour.
An exemplifying embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 in a perspective view schematically shows a laminate according to the invention; Figure 2 in a perspective view schematic shows a laminate in an alternative embodiment; Figure 3 in a side view illustrates a manufacturing of a flat laminate; and Figure 4 in a side view illustrates a manufacturing of a curved/bent laminate.
In Figure 1 a two layer laminate 10 is shown, which laminate includes a sheet element 11 and a sheet element 12, which sheet elements 11,12 include fibres of lignocellulosic material. The sheet elements 11,12 can for example consist of a wood material were the dominant fibre direction is illustrated with broken lines 13 and 14. In laminate 10, shown in Figure 1, the two sheet elements/layers 11 and 12 have an essentially coinciding fibre direction.
In Figure 2 a two layer laminate 20 is shown, which laminate includes a sheet element 21 and a sheet element 22, which sheet elements 21,22 comprises fibres of lignocellulosic material. The sheet elements 21,22 can for example consist of a wood material were the dominate fibre direction is illustrated with broken lines 23 and 24. In laminate 20, illustrated in Figure 2, the two sheet elements/layers 21 and 22 have an essentially perpendicular fibre direction relative two each other.
It should be realized that the laminate according to the invention can show many other combinations of fibre directions between the existing sheet elements in addition to the above exemplified. It has been established that laminates were the existing sheet elements have essentially coinciding fibre directions are especially favourable from strength viewpoint.
It should be realized that the laminate according to the invention can of course consist of an optional number of sheet elements of optional thickness. Variations of different kinds of woods between different sheet elements in a laminate are of course possible within the scope of the present invention. Several combinations are thus possible.
All embodiments of the laminates according to the invention have in common that the sheet elements are mutually joined without the occurrence of bonding agents (additives).
In Figure 3 a method of the manufacturing of a flat laminate 10 is illustrated by means of a press device 50, where the sheet elements 11,12 are placed between two press plates 51,52. The press plates 51,52 are heated to a desired temperature by means of for example heat windings 53,54 or similar arrangements. A force F is applied so that the sheet elements 11,12 are pressed together between the heated press plates 51,52 during a desired time period so that desired binding result is obtained between the sheet elements 11,12. Thereafter, the now finished laminate 10 is removed from the press device 50. The press force F is so chosen that the desired press force per area unit is obtained at the manufacturing of a desired laminate sheet.
In Figure 4 a method of manufacturing a curved/bent laminate 10' is illustrated by means of a press device 50', where flat sheet elements 11', 12' are placed between two press plates 51 ',52'. The press plates 51', 52' are heated to a desired temperature by means of for example heat windings 53',54' or similar arrangements. A force F is applied so that the sheet elements 11', 12' are pressed together between the heated press plates 51 ',52' during a desired time period so that desired binding result is obtained between the sheet elements 11 ',12'. Thereafter the now finished laminate 10' is removed from the press device 50'. The press force F is chosen so that the desired press force per area unit is obtained at the manufacturing of a desired laminate sheet. Thus, it should be realized that the present invention also enables manufacturing of laminates in many different configurations.
Is should also be mentioned that the collaboration between different parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and press time, can be varied in order to obtain the desired qualities in the produced laminate.
Different kinds of wood, initial moisture content, dimensions, desired final colour and desired strength are examples of parameter guiding factors.
Further, it has been established that sheet elements with high moisture content tend to provide a stronger bonding between the sheet elements of the laminate.
At the manufacturing of a laminate a thickness compression takes place depending on the used press force, and a change in colour takes place depending on the heating temperature of the sheet elements.
It should be realized that for example the heating of the sheet elements can be accomplished in many different ways in addition to the above exemplified. It is for example possible to use high frequency technology, microwave technology, laser technology, hot air, steam, hot plates, hot mats, hot belts and so on. Thus, many different types of heating methods can be applied in conjunction with the invention.
It should further be realized that the compression of the sheet elements also can be accomplished by means of for example rolling, mangling and so on. Thus, many different types of compression methods can be used in conjunction with the invention.
It should be noted that different chemical treatments of the sheet elements or the laminate naturally are combinable with the invention under the condition that these chemical treatments does not come into conflict with the basic idea of the invention.
It should be noted that the mutual joining of the sheet elements takes place without any friction generating relative movement (side movement) of the sheet elements, i. e. there is no occurrence of conventional friction welding.
The laminate according to the invention has many fields of use and as non-limiting examples can be mentioned floorboards, wallboards, ceiling/roof boards, furnitures, doors and other products of various kinds.
Exemplifying parameter intervals and the like are described in the accompanying claims. Some examples of the invention in practice follow below.
