Process for the production of moldings from cellulose-containing materials

1. A process for the production of compact cellulose-containing moldings by reacting organic polyisocyanates with cellulose in the presence of mold release agents in an open or closed mold, wherein the mold release agents are siloxane compounds containing aminopropyl groups having the general formula (I)

in which

R 1 is CH 3 and/or R 2 ,

R 2 is —(CH 2 ) x —NH—R 3 and/or —(O) y —(CH 2 ) x —NH—R 3′ ,

R 3 and R 3′ , independently of one another, may be H or —(CH 2 ) x —NH 2 ,

R 4 is —(CH 2 ) x —NH—(CH 2 —CH 2 —O) z —R 5 where

R 5 is an aryl or alkyl radical

n is from 50 to 1000,

m is from 1 to 20,

k is from 0 to 20,

x is from 1 to 20,

y is 0 or 1,

z is from 1 to 20,

and wherein said release agent is stable, non-volatile and does not degrade thermally or oxidatively to dark colored compounds at a temperature up to 270° C., with the proviso that at least one amino-functionalized radical is present.

2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R 1 =CH 3 .

3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein x is from 1 to 5.

4. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein n is from 100 to 500.

5. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratio of m:n is from 0.01 to 0.1.

6. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mold release agent used is an aqueous emulsion containing from 1 to 99% by weight of at least one of the compounds of the general formula (I).

7. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the organic polyisocyanates are optionally modified.

8. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cellulose is lignocellulose.

9. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein n is from 50 to 200.
