A laminated material in board form made by the steps of cutting open a lignocellulosic stalk in the fiber direction with a knife; flattening the lignocellulosic stalk by means of a roller press to form a compressed stalk, one face of which consists of its epidermis; arranging a plurality of the compressed stalks in parallel with each other to form a sheet; coating the sheet with a resin adhesive; stacking a plurality of the sheets coated with the adhesive; and then bonding with heat and pressure by means of a hot press. The laminated material has an equal to or higher flexural strength than conventional plywood or also has excellent sound absorbing and heat insulating properties in comparison with conventional particleboard or fiberboard.

Laminated material made of annual lignocellulosic stalks

A process for the preparation of a laminated material including the steps of cutting open an annual lignocellulosic stalk in the fiber direction with a knife; flattening the lignocellulosic stalk by means of a roller press to form a compressed stalk, one face of which consists of its epidermis; arrangement a plurality of the compressed stalks in parallel with each other to form a sheet; coating the sheet with a resin adhesive; stacking a plurality of the sheets coated with the adhesive; and then bonding with heat and pressure by means of a hot press. The laminated material in the form of boards has an equal to or higher flexural strength than conventional plywood or also has excellent sound absorbing and heat insulating properties in comparison with conventional particleboard or fiberboard.

Preparation of laminated material

A styrenic resin plate excellent in ink-acceptability and paintability is manufactured by applying an emulsion coating comprising a hydrophobic synthetic resin, a hydrophilic polymer, a finely pulverized inorganic filler and water or an emulsion coating obtained by adding to a mixture of said components a solution of an isocyanate compound possessed of at least two functionalities in a hydrophobic solvent to one side or both sides of a styrenic resin plate, preferably a foamed plate of styrenic resin, uniformly by means of a roll coater, a spray coater or the like and drying the applied coat of emulsion coating to form a surface layer on said resin plate. The present styrenic resin plate excellent in ink-acceptability, paintability is used as displays, advertizing boards, etc.
