PROCEDE DE PREPARATION D'UN MATERIAU CONTENANT UNE CHARGE VEGETALE, UTILISATION NOTAMMENT DANS LE DOMAINE DES PAPIERS ET CARTONS

摘要

In a new process for reducing the density, increasing the bulk, the hand and the porosity of a sheet material containing fibres by means of a vegetable filler, a vegetable filler of density less than 500 kg/m3 is introduced into the fibrous mass during the manufacture of the material. At least 95 % of the particles of the vegetable filler are less than 150 micrometres in size and at least 80 % of said particles are greater than 10 micrometres in size. The process is particularly useful for obtaining paper and cardboard of low density with improved hand and porosity. It is also attractive since it reduces the cost prices and enhances the thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
