DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figures. 1 and 2, the present invention relates to a construction board in the form a composite panel 100 that offers a combination of a high degree of fire resistance, a high density, high flexural strength, and effective moisture and water resistance.
The composite panel also comprises two spaced apart outer sheets 60 and 70 for positioning the moulded core 30 there-between. Each of the outer sheets 610 and 70 is adhesively bonded to opposite sides of the moulded core 30. The following sections describe details for the moulded core 30 and the outer sheets 60 and 70 in further detail.
The advantageous properties of the composite panel 100 are attained by a combination of the moulded core 30 sandwiched in between the outer sheets 60 and 70. The moulded core 30 is formulated to include about 30% to about 60% by weight of the magnesium oxide with at least 10% by weight of magnesium chloride. The composite panel may also include magnesium sulphate. The core 30 also incorporates one or more hydrophobic agents. Such hydrophobic agents may be added in order to increase the overall water-resistance of the panel 100. Any suitable hydrophobic agent may also
be used during panel manufacture. The core material further comprises additives such as a binding agent like cellulose (at least % to about 20% by weight), perlite (preferably 6- 12% by weight) and dispersants. The combination of these core mixtures ingredients yield a panel core 30 that contributes to the enhanced flexural strength of the resulting panel 100. The core material 30 may incorporate one or more fillers that serve to lower the weight of the panel.
The moulded core 30 comprises reinforcing mesh 15 and 25 are also provided within the moulded core 30. Specifically, additional mesh 15 is positioned adjacent to the first outer surface (or top surface) 10. Similarly, additional mesh 25 is positioned adjacent to the second outer surface (bottom surface) 20. The mesh 15, 25 and 50 are arranged in a mutually parallel configuration and are substantially co-parallel with the plane of the first and second opposite outer surfaces 10 and 20.
It is important to appreciate that the present embodiment provides a configuration whereby, the combination of the inwardly located mesh 50 and the outwardly located mesh 15 and 25 improves the overall structural performance of the panel 100 during use. Furthermore still, a pair of non- woven fabric sheets 12 and 22 is also included in between the additional reinforcing mesh (15 and 25) and the respective outer surfaces (10 and 20). At least a part of the outer surface of the moulded core 30 is positioned contiguously with the outer sheets 60 and 70 so that the fabric sheets 12 and 22 lie in close proximity to the outer sheets 60 and 70. The inventors have surprisingly found that positioning the fabric sheets 12 and 22 in the aforementioned configuration assists with improving the in-use characteristics of the composite panel 100.
The outer sheets 60 and 70 may comprise a metallic material such aluminium or aluminium containing alloy. The outer sheets 60 and 70 are adhesively bonded to opposite outer surfaces of the moulded core 30 to form the composite panel 100. The inventors have found that positioning each of the outwardly located reinforcing mesh 15 and 25 in the moulded core 30 in close proximity to the outer sheets 60 and 70 provides an unexpected and
significant improvement in structural flexural strength of the composite panel 100.
Referring to Figures 3 to 5 another embodiment in the form of a composite panel 200 illustrated. The composite panel comprises a core 230 which possesses substantially similar characteristics as the core 230 which has been described in previous sections. The core 230 is laminated on opposite surfaces with flat sheets of aluminium (260 and 270) that have a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 0.7 gauge. As discussed in previous sections, the flat sheets of aluminium (260 and 270) are adhesively bonded to the opposite surfaces of the core 230. The composite panels 200 are particularly useful for use as cladding panels or facade panels that can be readily fastened to an outwardly facing wall of a building. The panels 200 are light-weight and fire resistant and provide a much improved alternative to existing cladding panels that are currently available. Each of the outer sheets 260 and 270 have a similar thickness that is substantially less than the thickness of the core 230.
Referring to Figures 6 to 9 another embodiment in the form of a composite floor panel 300 is illustrated. The composite panel comprises a core 330 which possesses substantially similar characteristics as the core 330 which has been described in previous sections. The core 330 is laminated on opposite surfaces with flat sheets of veneer (360 and 370) that have a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 0.7 gauge. As discussed in the previous sections, the flat sheets of veneer (360 and 370) are adhesively bonded to the opposite surfaces of the core 330. The composite panels 300 are particularly useful for use as flooring panels. Referring to Figures 8 and 9 in particular, panels 300A and 300B may be provided with an inter-locking arrangement provided along an edge portion of each panel 300A and 300B for inter-locking the panels 300A and 300B during use. Each of the outer sheets 360 and 370 have a similar thickness that is substantially less than the thickness of the core 330.
Referring to Figure 10, yet another embodiment in the form of a composite panel 400 is illustrated. The composite panel also comprises a core 430 which possesses substantially similar characteristics as the core 430 which has
been described in previous sections. The core 430 is laminated on opposite surfaces with flat sheets of two different materials. A first outer sheet of veneer 470 is positioned on a first outer face of the core 430 and a second sheet 460 (having a greater thickness relative to the first sheet 470). The second sheet 460 may comprise of any material other than veneer.
The passages below describe one of many possible methods which may be utilised for moulding the core 30 of the composite panel 100 for the preferred embodiment. The method includes a plurality of steps, which will be described below in detail. The order of least some of the steps may be varied from that shown and at least some of the actions may be performed sequentially or concurrently. The constituents forming the moulded core 30 are in accordance with the amounts as described previously.
A dry mixing step is carried out in which at least the magnesium oxide, the magnesium chloride and the perlite is mixed to obtain a homogenised dry mixture. The magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride and perlite ingredients are initially mixed to form a dry powdery mixture. In at least some embodiments, 30% to about 60% by weight of the magnesium oxide, about at least 10% by weight of the magnesium chloride and about 6-12% by weight of perlite is mixed. The binding agent provided in the form of alpha cellulose functions to bind the composition together and may also comprise further additives.
The method includes mixing the dry powder with water in a mixing chamber in a slurry preparation step. Tap water may be used. The water solution may be stirred periodically over a period of time, by stirring means. The mixing results in the formation of a slurry 630 with a past like consistency or viscosity.
The next step comprises lining the mould with a non-woven fabric (such as Wolfram cloth) that forms the fabric layer 22 of the panel 100. After the paste has settled in the mixing chamber, the paste is then poured onto the mould in accordance with a pouring step. Since the paste is highly viscous, it is spread by using manual or automated spreading means to spread the paste around the mould as desired. After the spreading step, a reinforcing mesh 25 in the
form of a fibreglass mesh is positioned into the mould and the mould is subsequently passed through a first pair of rollers in a first rolling step. The spacing of the rollers in the roller pair is adjusted such that the paste is spread around on the mould to position the reinforcing mesh adjacent to the mould lining.
The first rolling step is followed by introducing further paste from the mixing chamber into the mould. Once again the paste is spread by using the spreading means as previously discussed. This is followed by positioning another reinforcing fibreglass mesh and by using the rollers in a second rolling step. The spacing of the rollers may once again be adjusted for spreading the paste uniformly and for positioning the fibreglass mesh within an internal central portion of the core 30. Subsequently, further paste is once again added to the mould and the third reinforcing fibreglass mesh 15 is also introduced in a third rolling step. Therefore, the inclusion of each of the plurality of reinforcing mesh in the board requires a rolling step for positioning the mesh in the core of the panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Subsequently another fabric layer 12 (Wolfram cloth) may be used as a top surface lining for the panel 100.
The paste may be permitted to dry and settle to initially cure the board and the drying time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Once the core has dried, the core may be removed from the mould. The core may be also subjected to a post-curing step that also allows the materials in the composition to further bond. The core may also be trimmed, sanded or finished and cut to the desired dimensions.
The next method steps involve the adhesive boding of the outer sheets 60 and 70 onto the core 30 by using a cold pressing method. The process for adhesive bonding the aluminum sheets (260 and 270) or the veneer sheets (360 and 370) is carried out under the cold pressing method.
The outer sheets 60 and 70 are bonded to the core 30 by using several processes that utilise a structural adhesive such as
The adhesives are applied evenly over the face and back of the core 30 and the outer sheets 60 and 70 by either a hand applicator, roller spreader or a spray nozzle applicator of the core 30 in several stages.
A first stage involves the application of a primer binder to both outer surfaces of the core 30 and allow the core to dry. The drying process allows the binder to absorb and lock into the surface of the core 30 creating a consistent surface that will allow for a closer and better binding when the outer sheets 60 and 70 are applied thereon. A second stage involves application of an adhesive that is applied evenly to the core 30 and the outer sheets 60 and 70 and these are then brought together with the outer sheets being applied to the core 30 to form a laminated panel.
The laminated panel is then placed in a press to activate the adhesives which bonds the outer sheets 60 and 70 to the core 30 thereby forming the composite panel 100. The panels 100 may be cut and sized in any manner.
The above described method may also be utilised to form composite panels 200 to 400.
In one embodiment, a polyurethane glue, specifically PU-50 Double Component type polyurethane glue was used.
In another embodiment, a polyurethane glue, specifically MPU-20 Single Component type polyurethane glue was used.
In one exemplary embodiment a commercially available polyester based resin, namely LS2 01 AB polyester resin was used.
