<p>A layered structure (44) that includes a product mixture of numerous particles, a foamable substance, such as including a liquid binder and a reacted dry binder, is provided. The particles preferably are comprised of cellulosic, fibrous materials. The dry binder reacts with the liquid binder to create a strong bond among separated particles. The particles are separated during transport, together with the dry binder, before the dry binder is reacted with the foamed liquid binder. Upon contact with the liquid binder, the dry binder reacts to cause adhesion among the separated particles. The layered structure (44) also includes one or more outer members or panels that are laminated or otherwise joined to the outer surface portions of the product mixture. Packaging materials can be made from such a layered structure (44). Additionally, wall units, panels, dividers and other enclosures or supporting units can be configured from one or more of such layered structures (44).</p> |
