MOLDING MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262996 titled 'MOLDING MATERIAL
The molding material described in the patent application consists of cellulose fibers, a binder, and urethane fibers. The cellulose fibers make up 2% to 40% of the material by mass, with an average length of less than 3 mm. The binder content ranges from 35% to 94% by mass, while the urethane fibers make up 2% to 40% of the material.
- Cellulose fibers content: 2% to 40% by mass, average length less than 3 mm
- Binder content: 35% to 94% by mass
- Urethane fibers content: 2% to 40% by mass
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for lightweight and durable components - Construction industry for eco-friendly building materials - Packaging industry for sustainable packaging solutions
Problems Solved: - Provides a sustainable alternative to traditional molding materials - Enhances the strength and durability of molded products - Reduces environmental impact by using cellulose fibers
Benefits: - Lightweight yet strong molded products - Eco-friendly and sustainable material - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in the automotive, construction, and packaging industries to create lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly products. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing processes in these sectors.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the inclusion of cellulose fibers improve the properties of the molding material? 2. What are the advantages of using urethane fibers in the molding material?
