Natural polymer-based material, used as substitute for wood or synthetic plastics contains natural oil and/or wax as deodorizing additive.

Abstract
Ein aus einem natuerlichen Polymer oder aus einem Polymer-Blend mit wenigstens einem natuerlichen Polymer sowie Zusatzstoffen bestehender Werkstoff zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er als Zusatzstoffe native Oele und/oder Wachse zur Desodorisierung enthaelt. Der erfindungsgemaesse Werkstoff eignet sich insbesondere zur Substitution von Holz- oder synthetischen Kunststoffwerkstoffen. Ferner wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Werkstoffs vorgeschlagen.

 

DE 19852055 A UPAB: 20000712 NOVELTY - Material consisting of a natural polymer or a polymer blend with at least one natural polymer contains natural oils and/or waxes (I) as deodorizing additives. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a process for the production of granulated material by melt-processing natural polymers or blends thereof, e.g. on an extruder, with the addition of (I) during melting or during and/or after granulation. USE - As a substitute for wood, timber products, synthetic plastics or synthetic plastic materials (claimed). Applications include furniture, floor coverings, garden furniture and housings for electrical equipment. ADVANTAGE - Natural polymer-based, biodegradable material with a neutral odor which is achieved without the use of environmentally unacceptable materials or paint.
