Abstract: Process for producing semifinished products from sheet-like fiber structures and from binders, by first (i) treating a sheet-like fiber structure with a binder and, if appropriate, drying it to a moisture content of from 4 to 30% by weight, (ii) coating the surface of the resultant treated fiber structure on one or both sides with a curable binder, and (iii) drying the coated fiber structure to a residual moisture content of from 4 to 30% by weight, to give a semifinished product, and the resultant semifinished product, process for producing moldings via heating of the semifinished product to a temperature above the temperature at which the binders crosslink, and use of the moldings as internal parts for motor vehicles, as packing material, as single-use tableware, as office accessories, as trays, as decorative parts in the furniture industry, or else as inserts for closets, or drawers, or rear walls of furniture.
