Abstract: A process for the preparation of a composite material from a particulate binder material having an average particle size (D9 0) of from 15 to 850 pm and a fibrous material having a density of from 150 to 550 kg/m3, comprising the steps of: a) blending the particulate binder material and the fibrous material, preferably in a weight ratio of 60:40 to 10:90, and b) subjecting the blended material obtained in a) to a curing step under increased temperature and pressure to obtain a composite material. The invention further relates to the composite material thus obtained, and to its use as building materials or as panelling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composite material from a particulate material comprising at least two thermoplastic polymers and a fibrous material having a density of from 150 to 550 kg/m3, comprising the steps of: a) blending the particulate binder material and the fibrous material, and b) heating the blended material obtained in a) to a temperature at or above the glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least one of the thermoplastic polymers, and c) shaping the heated material under pressure, to obtain a composite material. The invention further relates to the composite material thus obtained, and to its use as building material, structural or decorative sheet material, furniture material, and/or concrete sheeting material, and/or sound deadening material.
