LAMINATED COMPOSITES

摘要

A laminated composite material comprising a first layer formed from granulated cork and a binder, and second and third layers each comprising a network of plant-derived natural fibres, the first layer being sandwiched between and bonded to the second and third layers. The binder used to bind the granulated cork in the first layer is a flame-retardant binder, e.g. a plant-derived material such as a furan resin. The second and third layers are bonded to the first layer by a binder component, typically a furan resin.
