Problems solved by technology

Although a variety of non-combustible panel materials are commercially available, including gypsum boards, fiber-cement boards, calcium silicate boards, and the like, many demonstrate limited fire-resistance, and are environmentally-hazardous in their manufacture, use and disposal.
Additionally, some non-combustible panel materials exhibit excessive weight, lack of strength and durability, and are susceptible to water damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention relates to a fireproof or fire-resistant panel material 10, such as a board, that offers a combination of a high degree of fire resistance, a low density, high flexural strength, and effective water resistance. These advantageous properties may be obtained by the preparation of a panel core 12 that includes magnesium compounds, sodium silicate, and kaolin, and may further include one or more fillers, and hydrophobic agents. The panel may further include one or more fire-resistant layers 14.

[0015] As used herein, the terms “fireproof” and “fire-resistant” refer to a substance that is resistant to the effects of fire, that is, describing a material that is substantially or completely non-combustible and / or substantially insulating. By panel is meant a generally planar construction material. In one aspect of the invention, the panel is a fire-resistant board, dimensioned so as to be compatible with standard construction methods and mat...

Abstract

A highly fire-resistant and environmentally-friendly panel of 2 mm to 28 mm may be manufactured by a blending of magnesium compounds, sodium silicate, kaolin, fillers, and additives to form the core materials, reinforced by 4 layers of fire-resistant glass fiber meshes and fabrics. Using a proprietary ITC process that accelerates the chemical reactions of the ingredients to generate sufficient heat without external supply of energy, the panels may be completely cured within 24 hours instead of 10 days. The use of waste materials, energy-saving curing system and no gas emission manufacturing process combined to make this panel an eco-friendly product which offers the world's highest-rated fire resistance of 5 hours, high flexural strength, low density, durability and effective water-resistance.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of fire-resistant building materials. More particularly, the invention relates to fire-resistant panel materials that exhibit increased fire-resistance, and are lightweight, strong, and durable. BACKGROUND [0002] Government regulations now typically require that construction projects incorporate fire-resistant materials for purposes of enhancing fire safety. Building codes may even require the use of materials having established fire resistance ratings. Although a variety of non-combustible panel materials are commercially available, including gypsum boards, fiber-cement boards, calcium silicate boards, and the like, many demonstrate limited fire-resistance, and are environmentally-hazardous in their manufacture, use and disposal. Additionally, some non-combustible panel materials exhibit excessive weight, lack of strength and durability, and are susceptible to water damage. [0003] In the manufacture of fire-resistant p...
