Compositions, methods and system for manufacturing articles, including containers and packaging materials, from inorganically filled materials are disclosed. Suitable compositions are prepared by mixing together an organic birder, water, and appropriate additives (such as aggregates, fibers, and rheology- modifying agents) which impart predetermined properties so that an article formed therefrom has the desired performance criteria. The desired article can be molded from a sheet. The sheet forming processes require the mixture to first be fashioned into a sheet, such as by the use of an extruder or rollers, after which the sheet is formed into the desired article . Once the article is formed, it is hardened. Printed indica and a coating can then be applied. |
