Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition for addition to a ceiling tile, flooring product, or other construction product may include microfibrillated cellulose and optionally an inorganic particulate material. The ceiling tile, flooring product, or other construction product may further include perlite, mineral wool, wood pulp, starch and other additives, where the wood pulp and other inorganic particulate materials are bonded to the microfibrillated cellulose. Methods of manufacturing the compound are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A construction product comprising from at least about 0.1% and up to about 5% by weight microfibrillated cellulose based on the total dry weight of the construction product, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose has a d 50 of about 5 μm to about 500 μm and a fibre steepness of from 20 to 50, wherein the construction product is a fiberboard, gypsum board, plasterboard, insulation core of structural insulated panels or sound proofing; and wherein the construction product excludes wood pulp and wood particles. 2. He construction product according to claim 1 , Wherein the construction product further comprises up to 35% by weight wood particles, based on the total dry weight of the construction product is a fiberboard. 3. The construction product according to claim 2 , wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is obtained from a chemical, mechanical, chemithermomechanical, recycled pulp or a papermill broke, or a papermill waste stream, or waste from a papermill. 4. The construction product according to claim 1 , wherein the construction product further comprises gypsum. 5. The construction product according to claim 4 , wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is obtained from a chemical, mechanical, chemithermomechanical, recycled pulp or a papermill broke, or a papermill waste stream, or waste from a papermill. 6. The construction product according to claim 1 , wherein the construction product is a plasterboard. 7. The construction product according to claim 6 , wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is obtained from a chemical, mechanical, chemithermomechanical, recycled pulp or a papermill broke, or a papermill waste stream, or waste from a papermill. 8. The construction product according to claim 1 , wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is obtained from a chemical, mechanical, chemithermomechanical, recycled pulp or a papermill broke, or a papermill waste stream, or waste from a papermill.
