Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional techniques face challenges in achieving full impregnation of thick wood boards with chemical agents to provide non-combustibility and ensure adequate adhesion performance, leading to delamination over time.

Innovation Solution

A board material processing composition comprising a carbonization promotion component (e.g., boric acid), a chain inhibition component (e.g., ammonium dihydrogen phosphate), and binder particles (e.g., silica sand) is used to promote carbonization, inhibit reaction chains, and enhance adhesion, respectively, with the addition of ceramic particles for thermal insulation and improved adhesion.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If multiple thin board materials are laminated to produce thick wood, then the non-combustibility is improved, but the adhesion performance deteriorates and delamination occurs over time

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into a single adhesive composition: fire-retardant chemicals (ammonium phosphate, boric acid, aluminum sulfate) are integrated with adhesive agents (casein, starch, or synthetic resins) to create a dual-function material that simultaneously provides bonding strength and combustion resistance, eliminating the need for separate adhesive and fire-retardant treatment steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive composition uses composite material systems combining organic adhesive bases (casein, starch, or synthetic resins) with inorganic fire-retardant salts (ammonium phosphate, boric acid, aluminum sulfate) to achieve both adhesion and fire resistance properties in a single material system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If chemical agents are impregnated into thick board materials, then non-combustibility is improved, but full impregnation becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies optimized concentration ranges for fire-retardant chemicals (ammonium phosphate: 5-50 parts by mass per 100 parts adhesive, boric acid: 5-30 parts, aluminum sulfate: 10-50 parts) to ensure sufficient fire resistance while maintaining proper impregnation and avoiding excessive viscosity that would hinder penetration into thick board materials
