SYNTHETIC FIREPLACE LOG AND METHOD OF PRODUCING

摘要

A low cost and an environmentally-friendly synthetic firelog is made by mixi ng specially processed waxed-cardboard or other waxed coated papers of varying proportions with a binder/fuel. The finder/fuel consists of a petroleum wax or a mixture of waxes, the nature and extent of which is suitably modified by i n situ admixture with the paraffin wax already present in the waxed-cardboard. Sawdust or other wood fillers may also be added. Upon thorough incorporation of the materials, the resulting mixture is extruded, molded, compressed, or otherwise formed, such that the resulting mass is sufficiently solid to hold its shape at normal room temperature.
