  • Synthetic board
    Patent number: 7759409
    Abstract: In a synthetic board, includes a fibrous lignocellulose-based material, a resinous material and a micro hollow material. The lignocellulose-based material has an average fiber length ranging from 0.05 mm to 300 mm and an average fiber width ranging from 0.05 mm to 2 mm. The resinous material includes at least one of polybutylene succinate-based resin and polylactic-based resin. The micro hollow material has an average particle size ranging from 1 ?m to 3000 ?m.

  • Automobile interior board and method of producing automobile interior board
    Patent number: 7517821
    Abstract: An automobile interior board includes a base layer; and a nonwoven or woven surface layer, laminated on at least one surface of the base layer. The base layer is comprised of a composite material of: a first fiber, comprised of a bamboo fiber; a second fiber, comprised of one of cotton, hemp and mixture of cotton and hemp; and a biodegradable resin. Weight percentage of the first fiber, the second fiber and the biodegradable resin satisfies a following equation, the first fiber: the second fiber: the biodegradable resin=30 to 70:10 to 60:20 to 60. The surface layer is comprised of one of a PET resin fiber and a natural material-derived fiber.
