Abstract

The invention relates to an insulation material board composed of a wood material/binder fiber mixture and to a method for producing an insulation material board, in which an additive with a thermally resistant core and with a thermally activatable coating is added to the mixture, and the thermally activatable coating is activated by the supply of heat. An insulation material board may be composed of a wood material/binder mixture, including an additive having thermosetting and thermoplastic portions, wherein the thermosetting portion is a thermosetting plastic that forms a core and the thermoplastic portion forms a thermally activatable coating that at least partially encloses the core.

Claims (23)

1. An insulation material board composed of a wood material/binder mixture, comprising an additive having thermosetting and thermoplastic portions, wherein the thermosetting portion is a thermosetting plastic that forms a core and the thermoplastic portion forms a thermally activatable coating that at least partially encloses the core, wherein the additive is an agglomerate of plastics, wherein the agglomerate of plastics include an average fraction of polyolefins of 50% to 70%, polystyrene of 15% to 20%, PET of 5% to 15% and other packing plastics of 1% to 5%.

2. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein the wood material comprises wood fibers.

3. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein the additive has a granulate form.

4. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein magnetic substances have been removed from the additive.

5. The insulation board of claim 4 , wherein volatile substances, water vapor, ash, and paper have been suction-extracted from the additive.

6. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein:

the thermosetting core comprises polyurethane; and

the thermoplastic portion comprises polyethylene.

7. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein a proportion of the additive in relation to an overall mass of the insulation board is at least 20%.

8. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein the additive is hydrophobic.

9. The insulation board of claim 1 , wherein the additive has a grain size of 0.3 to 2.5 mm.

10. An insulation board, comprising:

a mixture of wood fibers and binder fibers; and

an additive distributed homogeneously within the mixture of wood fibers and binder fibers;

wherein the additive comprises an agglomerate of mixed plastics;

the additive comprises a thermosetting core and a thermoplastic portion that forms a thermally activatable coating that at least partially encloses the core; and

the additive has a granulate form, wherein:

the agglomerate of mixed plastics includes an average fraction of polyolefins of 50% to 70%, polystyrene of 15% to 20%, PET of 5% to 15% and other packing plastics of 1% to 5%;

magnetic substances have been removed from the additive;

volatile substances, water vapor, ash, and paper have been suction-extracted from the additive;

a proportion of the additive in relation to an overall mass of the insulation board is at least 20%;

the additive is hydrophobic; and

the additive has a grain size of 0.3 to 2.5 mm.
