Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to construction and, more particularly, to light, easily operable, non-inflammable material for use in construction and, more particularly, to a method for making such light, easily operable, non-inflammable material.

2. Related Prior Art

In construction and decoration, for structural and aesthetic purposes, various types of material are used such as wood, plastics, cloth and paper. Such types of material are inflammable, and can easily be combusted in the case of a fire. When this happens, such inflammable material causes threats against human life and possessions.

To reduce possible damages in a fire, non-inflammable material has been used instead of inflammable material. However, conventional types of non-inflammable material are heavy and their manufacturing is difficult. For example, plaster of Paris cast is made by means of providing a plank of plaster that has a high ignition point and providing a decorative layer of paper on each side of the plank of plaster. The plaster of Paris cast is heavy, and it is therefore difficult for workers to handle. Moreover, at a high temperature that usually occurs in a hot and dry day and in a fire for example, the plaster of Paris cast becomes brittle, bends, peels and cracks because of its nature. Moreover, as the global temperature gets higher every year than the previous year, the production of the plaster of Paris cast is no longer environment-friendly.

The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

According to the present invention, a method is provided for making inflammable material. At a first step, a first mixture is made by means of mixing plant fibers with inflammable liquid. The plant fibers make up 25% to 45% of the first mixture in weight, and the inflammable liquid 75% to 55%. At a second step, a viscous second mixture is made by means of mixing the first mixture with inflammable adhesive. The first mixture makes up 20% to 40% of the second mixture in weight, and the inflammable adhesive 80% to 60%. At a third step, a semi-product of the inflammable material is made by means of shaping the second mixture. At a fourth step, a final product of the inflammable material is made by means of heating the semi-product.

An advantage of the inflammable material made according to the present invention is that it can easily be handled because it is light.

Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The present invention will be described through detailed description of the preferred embodiment referring to the drawing.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a method for making inflammable material according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIG. 1, a method for making inflammable material according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. Such flammable material can be used in construction and decoration.

At Step A, plant fibers are provided, and inflammable liquid is provided.

At Step B, the plant fibers and the inflammable liquid are mixed in order to form a first mixture. In weight, the plant fibers make up 25% to 45% of the first mixture, and the inflammable liquid 75% to 55%. For instance, the plant fibers may accounts for 35%, and the inflammable liquid 65%. In mixing the plant fibers with the inflammable liquid, the plant fibers are submerged in the inflammable liquid until the plant fibers fully soak a desired amount of the inflammable liquid.

At Step C, the first mixture is further mixed with inflammable adhesive in order to form a second mixture. In weight, the first mixture makes up 20% to 40% of the second mixture, and the inflammable adhesive 80% to 60%. For example, the first mixture makes up 30%, and the inflammable adhesive 70%. For instance, the inflammable adhesive may include silicate of sodium, polyvinyl acetate (“PVA”), and silicate of potassium in order to increase the viscosity of the second mixture, and form something like glue, paste, and jelly.

At Step D, the second mixture is added with inflammable agent in order to make a third mixture that is more inflammable than the second mixture. In weight, the second mixture accounts for 99.7% to 75% of the third mixture, and the inflammable agent 0.3% to 25%.

At Step E, the third mixture is put in a mold. Thus, the third mixture assumes the form of a plank. A flameproof layer of polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) is provided on a side of the third mixture. A layer of recycled paper is provided on an opposite side of the third mixture. Thus, a semi-product of the inflammable material is made.

At Step F, the semi-product is heated and pressed in the mold. The semi-product is subject to a temperature of 120 to 180 Celsius degrees. The semi-product is subject to a pressure of 160 to 180 Kg/m². As the heating and pressing proceeds, the semi-product gets harder, and the form of a plank is fixed eventually, i.e., the final product of the inflammable material is made.

At Step G, the final product is taken from the mold.

The present invention has been described through the detailed illustration of the preferred embodiment. Those skilled in the art can derive variations from the preferred embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention. Hence, the preferred embodiment shall not limit the scope of the present invention defined in the claims.
