Abstract
Wood fiber, inorganic cellular material, flame retardant and an organic binder for binding these materials, are mixed together and hot press formed to give a wood based panel. The resultant panel has a wood like texture, is light weight, has excellent sound absorption properties, and is semi-incombustible, and has a good insulating property for use as a wall or ceiling material.
Claims2
A method of manufacturing a wood based panel comprising the steps of:
- mixing wood fibers, an inorganic cellular material, and a flame retardant, wherein the mixture proportions per 100 parts by weight of said wood fibers being at least 50 parts by weight of said inorganic cellular material, and 15 parts to 60 parts by weight of said flame retardant;
- applying a binder to the mixture;
- and
- subsequently hot press forming the mixture to form the wood based panel,
- wherein the wood fibers are a major component and the steps are carried out so that the wood based panel possesses a density of 0.27 g.multidot.cm.sup.-3 or less.
