The present invention relates to a composition comprising a first component being an inorganic mineral or mineral-like material having a porous structure, and a second component being a hygroscopic compound; a process for preparing such a composition; a composite material comprising a such a composition; a product comprising such a composition and/or composite material as well as a use of such a composition and/or a composite material as a flame retardant or as a humidity adjusting agent.

Moisture-capturing, -storing, and/or -releasing composition

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a decorative wood-based board, to a decorative wood-based board, to the use of at least one dry or liquid coating composition comprising at least one inorganic particulate filler material and at least one binder for in-line coating of decorative wood-based boards, and to the use of at least one dry or liquid coating composition comprising at least one inorganic particulate filler material and at least one binder for improving the mechanical properties of a decorative wood-based board. Furthermore, it relates to the use of a decorative wood-based board in flooring applications, furniture, walls, roof panels, display cabinets, storage units, loudspeakers and shop-fittings.

In-line coated decorative wood-based boards

The present invention relates to a particle board, a process for manufacturing the particle board as well as the use of at least one particulate calcium carbonate-containing material as wood particle replacement in a particle board.

Calcium carbonate for particle boards

The present invention relates to a fiber board product comprising fibers in an amount from 50.0 to 99.0 parts by weight (d/d), at least one particulate calcium carbonate-containing material in an amount from 1.0 to 50.0 parts by weight (d/d), at least one binder in an amount from 0.05 to 25.0 parts by weight (d/d), at least one wax in an amount from 0 to 5.0 parts by weight (d/d), wherein the sum of the fibers and the at least one particulate calcium carbonate-containing material is 100.0 parts by weight (d/d), a process for manufacturing such a fiber board product as well as an use of at least one particulate calcium carbonate-containing material having a weight median particle size dof 0.5 to 150.0 &#x3bc;m as fiber replacement in a fiber board product, preferably in a high-density fiber (HDF) board, medium-density fiber (MDF) board, low-density fiber (LDF) board or particle board.
