Abstract:
A composite building material includes carpet waste having carpet fibers and adhesive, and an inorganic filler that includes fly ash. The composite building material may be produced by providing the carpet waste, mixing the carpet waste with the inorganic filler to produce a homogeneous blend, and forming the homogeneous blend into the composite building material. The composite building material may optionally include a base polymer, slack wax, and/or calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
A paving material for filling gaps between paving blocks or the like, the paving material comprising a powdered or granulated mixture of: inert particulate; a water-soluble resin formable from a polymerisation reaction between formaldehyde and an at least difunctional nucleophile; and a water-soluble acid. The paving material is filled into gaps between blocks and then liquid water is applied thereto, or the sand is exposed to ambient humidity (gaseous water). Upon contact with the water, the resin coats the sand and then sets hard, thereby stabilising the block paving.
Abstract:
The method consists of the formation of a layer over a stone substrate to increase its hardness, chemical resistance, wear and scratch resistance, comprising applying on the substrate a coating matrix incorporating an organic material and fillers including inorganic nanoparticles and/or microparticles; chemically binding said matrix to the substrate,by a self-assembly process and/or a binding process by covalent bonding, electrostatic bonding, van der Waals bonding or hydrogen bonds; and finally drying said matrix. The mentioned organic material is selected from organosilanes, organophosphates, polycarboxylic compounds, compounds based on triazine heterocycles and said nanoparticles are nanoparticles of oxides, carbides, borides, nitrides of metals or of semimetals.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a fiber-granule board for construction industry, furniture industry and the like made of agricultural solid waste in particular comprising fibrous empty fruit bunch materials, porous oil palm shells materials and a suitable binder. The fibrous materials, porous materials and the binder are mixed, cold pressed for thickness and hot pressed for binder to set and further cooled before use.
Abstract:
A method to form a displacement for use in a metal casting process, wherein the method provides a plurality of ceramic particles and a plurality of resin particles. The method grinds the plurality of ceramic particles until those ceramic particles comprise diameters less than 150 microns, and grinds the plurality of resin particles until those resin particles comprise diameters less than 100 microns, and forms a powder blend comprising the plurality of ground ceramic particles and the plurality of ground resin particles. The method then disposes the powder blend into a mold comprising a cavity defining the desired displacement. The method further densities the blend, and cures the resin to form the displacement.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an artificial marble comprising a base resin; and layer-separated chips containing a matrix resin and additives, all or part of said additives is present in a state forming layered-phase in said matrix resin through phase-separation by a difference of specific gravity between said additives and said matrix resin, and a method for preparing the same. In the present invention, phase-separation (layer separation) of the additives in the chip is induced by adding the additives having specific gravity different from the matrix resin constituting base of the chip to the matrix resin, and if necessary, a position of the chip in the artificial marble is controlled through high specific gravity treatment. Therefore, the present invention may provide an artificial marble having a texture close to a natural rock by embodying various effects such as pearl effect, metallic effect and 3-dimensional effect.
Abstract:
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist Verfahren zum Befüllen der Hohlräume von Formkörpern mit einer Füllmasse sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens. Die Füllmasse enthält neben Bindemittel und Füllstoff auch einen Initiator. Dieser Initiator wird vor dem Einfüllen der Füllmasse in die Hohlräume aktiviert und ermöglicht ein beschleunigtes Ansteifen der Füllmasse im Hohlraum. Bei dem Initiator handelt es sich um eine chemische Verbindung, welche durch Aktivierung, insbesondere durch chemische Reaktion, thermische Anregung oder Anregung durch elektromagnetische Strahlung in einen reaktiven bzw. angeregten Zustand überführt wird und in diesem reaktiven bzw. angeregten Zustand die Vernetzungsreaktion des Bindemittels startet, d.h. initiiert, oder beschleunigt. Der Initiator kann ein Redoxinitiator, ein thermischer Initiator und/oder ein Photoinitiator sein.
