Abstract
This is a method and composition for a paper pulp product used to create formable or moldable products from the paper pulp that cures with significant rigidity, stability and strength. The composition includes a mixture of raw paper, calcium carbonate (marble dust), starch, polyvinyl alcohol and water. Bleach may be added to create a substantially white or neutral product. The pulp composition is particularly suitable to molding and can be used to manufacture picture frames, small items of furniture and the like. The resulting product is highly suitable to art paper, arts and crafts. The process is extremely easy and results in a product that is highly adaptable for numerous uses.
Claims9
A process for creating a paper pulp composition, comprising the steps of:
- combining raw paper, calcium carbonate and starch to create a dry mix;
- adding polyvinyl alcohol and water to the dry mix to create a slurry;
- mixing the slurry in a mixer to create a substantially uniform pulp;
- and
- curing the pulp until dry;
- adding a sanitizer to the slurry prior to mixing;
- wherein the sanitizer is bleach.
A paper pulp composition comprising:
- from between approximately 10% and approximately 20% raw paper, from between approximately 20% and approximately 30% calcium carbonate, from between approximately 5% and approximately 15% starch, from between approximately 1% and approximately 10% polyvinyl alcohol, and from between approximately 30% and approximately 60% water.
