Abstract

A board capable of capturing and decomposing both formaldehyde and acetaldehyde comprises a wood fiber board comprising a plant fiber of 30 wt % or more, and an aldehyde capturing agent comprising at least carbodihydrazide which is impregnated and solidified inside the side of the fiber board. In addition to the wood fiber board, a fiber board made of a mixture material of a resin fiber and a plant fiber combined. A carbodihydrazide is sprayed onto the fiber board in the form of water solution and optionally comprises a surfactant.

Claims (45)

1. A board capable of capturing and decomposing formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, wherein the board is a hard board or insulation board comprising:

wood fiber in an amount of 90 weight % or more of a plant fiber based on the weight of the hard board or insulation board; and

an aldehyde capturing agent impregnated and solidified inside one side or both sides of the hard board or insulation board in an amount of 3-6 g/m 2 , wherein

the aldehyde capturing agent comprises carbodihydrazide, dihydrazide adipate and guanidine sulfamate.

2. The board according to claim 1 , wherein the plant fiber comprises a wood fiber, a hemp fiber and a kenaf fiber.

3. The board according to claim 1 , wherein the aldehyde capturing agent further comprises dihydrazide succinate.

4. The board according to claim 1 , wherein the board has a pH of 4-6.

5. The board according to claim 1 , wherein the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside both sides of the hard board or insulation board.

6. A process for preparing the board according to claim 1 , said process comprising a step of

applying a solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to one side or both sides of the board, and

solidifying the aldehyde capturing agent, so that the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside one side or both sides of the board in an amount of 3-6 g/m 2 , wherein

the aldehyde capturing agent comprises carbodihydrazide, dihydrazide adipate and guanidine sulfamate.

7. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the board is heated when the solution is being applied to the board.

8. The board capable of capturing and decomposing formaldehyde and acetaldehyde of claim 1 , wherein

the board has a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface being porous,

the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside the rear surface of the board by a process comprising the steps of:

spraying a solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to the rear surface of the board at temperature of 100-160° C., so that the solvent is vaporized and the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated into and solidified inside the rear surface of the board; and

drying the board.

9. The board capable of capturing and decomposing formaldehyde and acetaldehyde of claim 1 , wherein

the board has a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface being porous,

the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside the front surface of the board by a process comprising the steps of:

spraying the solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to the front surface of the board, so that the solvent is vaporized and the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated into and solidified inside the front surface of the board; and

drying the board.

10. The board capable of capturing and decomposing formaldehyde and acetaldehyde of claim 1 , wherein

the board has a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface being porous,

the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside the rear surface of the board by a process comprising the steps of:

spraying a solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to the rear surface of the board at temperature of 100-160° C., so that the solvent is vaporized and the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated into and solidified inside the rear surface of the board; and

cooling the board to room temperature, and

the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside the front surface of the board by the process comprising the steps of:

spraying a solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to the front surface of the board, so that the solvent is vaporized and the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated into and solidified inside the front surface of the board; and

drying the board.

11. A board capable of capturing and decomposing formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, wherein the board is a wood plastic sheet (WPS) comprising:

at least 30 weight % of a resin fiber and at least 30 weight % of a plant fiber based on the weight of the WPS, and

an aldehyde capturing agent impregnated and solidified inside one side or both sides of the wood plastic sheet in an amount of 3-6 g/m 2 , wherein

the aldehyde capturing agent comprises carbodihydrazide, dihydrazide adipate and guanidine sulfamate.

12. The board according to claim 11 , wherein the plant fiber comprises a wood fiber, a hemp fiber and a kenaf fiber.

13. The board according to claim 11 , wherein the aldehyde capturing agent further comprises dihydrazide succinate.

14. The board according to claim 11 , wherein the resin fiber comprises a thermoplastic resin.

15. The board according to claim 14 , wherein the resin fiber is a thermoplastic resin which is at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate.

16. The board according to claim 11 , wherein the board has a pH of 4-6.

17. The board according to claim 11 , wherein the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside both sides of the WPS.

18. A process for preparing the board according to claim 11 , said process comprising a step of applying a solution comprising the aldehyde capturing agent, a solvent and a surfactant to one side or both sides of the board, and

solidifying the aldehyde capturing agent, so that the aldehyde capturing agent is impregnated and solidified inside one side or both sides of the board in an amount of 3-6 g/m 2 , wherein

the aldehyde capturing agent comprises carbodihydrazide, dihydrazide adipate and guanidine sulfamate.

19. The process according to claim 18 , wherein the board is heated when the solution is being applied to the board.
