Abstract
A fast-setting, fibrous, Portland Cement-based building material is made by soaking wood chips in water to provide substantially saturated wood chips, combining the saturated wood chips with a slurry of Portland cement to provide a wood chip/cement slurry, mixing a slurry of monomagnesium phosphate (“MOP”) with the wood chip/cement slurry to provide a quick-setting MOP/wood chip/cement composition, and compressing the quick-setting MOP/wood chip/cement composition to make the fast-setting, fibrous, Portland Cement-based building material. The inventive composition combines the best properties of cement and wood, yet uses recycled materials to make an environmentally-friendly building material.
Claims3
A method for making a cementitious material, said method comprising:
- (a) combining wood chips with water to provide substantially saturated wood chips;
- (b) combining said substantially saturated wood chips with an aqueous slurry of Portland cement to provide a wood chip/cement slurry;
- (c) combining the wood chip/Portland cement slurry with an aqueous solution of monomagnesium phosphate and allowing the fiber/cement/MOP mixture to begin reacting;
- and
- (d) compressing the fiber/cement/MOP mixture before it finishes “setting” to provide a fibrous, Portland cement-based building material.
A fast-setting, fibrous, Portland cement-based building material comprising substantially saturated wood chips dispersed throughout a mixture comprising an aqueous slurry of Portland cement and an aqueous solution of monomagnesium phosphate.
A fibrous, Portland cement-based building material comprising wood chips fixed in a set matrix of Portland cement and monomagnesium phosphate.
