Problems solved by technology

[0005] Another downside of UF resin-bonded wood products is that they slowly release formaldehyde into the surrounding environment
[0014] Another disadvantage of wood, plants or other lignocellulosic materials is that they are commercially acceptable for making panels, but they are not effective for shaping corrugated products
However, although the mats are effective, they are not biodegradable

[0077] Method of making molded articles

[0078] The resin solution is used to wet out and coat one or more fiber mats or fabric sheets. Mats include, for example, kenaf, burlap, sorghum, flax, ramie, sisal, kapok, banana, pineapple, hemp fibers or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the preferred fabric sheet is linen. Preferred mats are jute or kenaf.

[0079] The resin solution is applied to the fiber mats or sheets in an amount of about 50-100 ml of resin solution per 15 g of fibers so that the mats or sheets can be completely wetted and coated on their surfaces. The treated mat or sheet is pre-plasticized in a drying oven at about 35-70°C to form a prepreg or pre-molded product. In one embodiment, the prepreg or preform is dried under a pressure with a maximum pressure of 0.9 atm. Low air pressure facilitates rapid removal of water from wetted wafers. If desired, the prepreg is wetted a second time and dried according to one or more of the conditions described...

[0100] Example: Preparation of Snowboards Using Soy Complex Cores

[0101] Skis are usually constructed with a core of thin planks sandwiched between layers of fiberglass. The bottom or "base" of a ski is usually made of various construction plastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and is surrounded by a thin steel strip, called the "rim". The top layer, where printed graphics usually sit, is usually made of acrylic. The core of the board varies in stiffness from the front to the top to the tail. The choice of boards of different densities and their relative positions along the length of the ski determines the flexibility at specific points along the length of the ski. Choosing a light wood plank will result in high elasticity. Choosing a hardwood will result in greater strength and stiffness. One application that is desired is greater stiffness in the deck of a snowboard with greater flexibility at the tip and tail.

Abstract

The present invention is a contoured press molded article comprising: a soy-based resin and a plant-based sheet, wherein the article is manufactured from the process comprising the steps of: impregnating the sheet with soy-based resin; precuring the sheet to remove water to form a premolded article wherein at least one region of a premolded article is reinforced with at least one additional layer of impregnated soy-based resin; pressing the premolded article into a contoured molded article, wherein the contoured molded article has a flexural strength that is greater than 20 MPas.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 014,209, filed December 17, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to biodegradable and formaldehyde-free corrugated articles, in particular to a corrugated article having a soy-based resin system. Background technique [0004] Urea-formaldehyde resins (UF) are widely used as adhesives for oriented laminated boards and particle boards. These formaldehyde-based resins are colorless, inexpensive, and cure rapidly to form a rigid polymer. While UF resins are effective, particle board and oriented strand board are often notoriously poor quality. A concern, including quality, is the rate of degradation of these composites when exposed to water or heat and humidity. [0005] Another disadvantage of UF resin-bonded wood products is that they slowly release formaldehyde into the surrounding environment. ...
