摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mixture for molding and a method of producing mixture for molding, or the like, enabling a molded article by a ligneous particulate matter to be molded without using a petroleum-based binder by a simpler method.SOLUTION: A mixture for molding 5 is produced by a heat treatment of a mixture of a base material 1 containing at least a ligneous particulate matter, a binder 2 and water 3, and only corn starch is used as the binder. The corn starch 2 can be used in an amount of 30 pts.wt. to 300 pts.wt. based on 100 pts.wt. of all dry weight of the base material 1. Also cypress or other needle-leaved tree can be preferably used as tree kinds of the ligneous particulate matter constituting the base material 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
