Description
Patented -June 19, 1951 PROCESS OF MAKING A PLYWOOD PRODUCT Robert'M. Boehm, Laurel, Miss., assignor to Masonite Corporation, Laurel, Miss., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application October 12, 1945, Serial No. 622,079
Claims. (Cl. 154-133) This invention relates to plywood made from natural wood veneers without use of the usual added bonding material between the plies.
Natural wood and its veneers are composed primarily of ligno-cellulose and consist principally of cellulose and lignin in which the cellulosic constituents are cemented together by the natural bonding material, lignin. The main object of the invention is to provide a plywood product in which the lignin of the wood veneers provides the bonding material between the plies, and the usual added interply bonding material is dispensed with. A further object of the invention is to prepare such a plywood product having the desirable properties of good density, low water absorption, and smooth and hardened surfaces. The invention embraces both the product and the process of its manufacture.
The above and related objects are attained in accordance with this invention by a procedure which consists in general terms of first subjecting the natural veneers to hydrolyzing conditions by exposure to steam at high temperature and corresponding high pressure to activate the lignin contained in the wood, then arranging the hydrolyzed veneers into a ply stack without added bonding material therebetween, and then applying heat and pressure to the stackto produce a plywood product in which some of the activated lignin serves to form a bond between the plies.
Veneers made from gum or pine wood have given good results but the veneer may be made from any species of wood which is suited for veneer making and provides veneers which will be hydrolyzed when subjected to steam at high temperature and corresponding high pressure. The wood veneers, which are thin sheets. as for example /32 to /16 inch or more in thickness, are subjected to hydrolyzing treatment with steam at high temperature and pressure to activate the lignin in the wood. This is preferably done in an autoclave. In the autoclave the veneers are preferably spaced apart by interposed spacer means, such as wire screens for example, so as to get thorough and uniform contact of the steam with the veneers. The steam will not only affect the veneer surfaces but will also penetrate substantially throughout the veneers and serves to activate the lignin in the body of the veneers. After the steam has been applied a sufficient length of time to obtain the necessary hydrolysis, it is shut off and the exhaust valve is opened to permit the steam to escape, and the treated veneers are removed. If desired, the hydrolyzed wood veneers may be washed with water to remove acids and other soluble materials formed during the hydrolysis treatment.
The length of time and the temperature of the steam, used for hydrolyzing the yeneers in the autoclave to obtain activation of the lignin, are somewhat interchangeable, longer time being required at relatively low steam temperatures and pressures, and shorter time at high steam temperature and pressure. A steam temperature of 200 C. (with pressure of about 200 p. s. i.) is about the minimum temperature at which the hydrolyz'ing treatment can be performed on the wood veneers within a reasonable time, about 15 to 20 minutes being required for heat treatment at this steam temperature. The steam temperature should not greatly exceed 285 C. (steam pressure about 1000 p. s. i.), since. with higher temperatures than this the time of heat treatment becomes diflicult to regulate. With steam at this temperature and pressure, the time of sustained application of the steam to the wood veneer required to obtainthe necessary hydrolysis for activation of the lignin should not materially exceed about 15 seconds for gum and 20 seconds for pine, but the time of hydrolysis treatment can be somewhat longer when the steam pressure is brought up to the maximum and then released, as for example about 20 seconds for gum wood and about 35 seconds for pine.
In making plywood from such hydrolyzed veneers, added bonding materialbetweenthe plies can be dispensed with because the lignin activated in the hydrolyzing treatment serves the function of bonding the plies together. To make the plywood, a number of the hydrolyzed wood veneers are arranged in a ply stack and the stack subjected to heat and pressure, preferably in a hot platen press, whereupon some of the lignin will flow sufficiently to form a bonding medium between adjacent plies of the stack. The stack is chilled while still under pressure to a point below the boiling point of water to thoroughly set the lignin and condense any steam which may be present, whereupon the pressure is released and the finished plywood product is removed from the press. When steam-heated Dress platens are used, the chilling can be carried out by replacing the steam in the platen passages with water.
The press platen temperature and the pressure required to consolidate the ply stacks of the hydrolyzed wood veneer sheets into a unitary plywood product depends to a considerable degree upon the type of veneer, the amount of heat treat- .ment given to the wood veneers during the hydrolyzing step, and upon the characteristics desired in the final plywood product. If the veneers are hydrolyzed in the autoclave at relatively high pressures and temperature, as for example hydrolyzed with steam at a temperature of 285 C. and pressure of 1000 p. s. i. as described above, the lignin will be activated to a relatively high degree, and under such conditions the platen temperature and pressure should not greatly exceed about 220 C. and 750 p. s. 1. respectively in order to avoid excessive flow in the hot-pressing operation. However, if the veneers are hydrolyzed at relatively low steam temperature and pressure, the platen temperatures and pressures may be higher.
The following examples will illustrate the invention.
Example 1 Natural (i. e., unhydrolyzed) gum wood veneers, 3; inch in thickness, were placed in an autoclave and subjected to a hydrolyzing treatment with steam raised to a pressure of 1000 p. s. i. (steam temperature about 285 C.) in 15 seconds, and then shut ofi and theautoclave exhaust valve opened. The hydrolyzed veneers in which the lignin had been activated were removed from the autoclave.
Thirty sheets of the hydrolyzed veneers, with the moisture content adjusted to about 5%, were arranged in a, ply stack in a platen press, the grain of adjacent plies being arranged to cross each other, and subjected to a temperature of about 160 C. and a pressure of about 500 p s. i. After the temperature of the board at the center reached about 160 C., it was held under this pressure for a period of 3 minutes. The press platens were then chilled to a temperature of about 55 C. while retaining the pressure on the ply stack. After chilling, the pressure was released and the finished plywood material removed from the platen press.
Example 2 This example was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the hydrolyzing treatment was performed with steam raised to a pressure of 600p. s. i. (steam temperature about 225 C.) in 30 seconds.
Example 3 Natural gum veneers, inch in thickness, were placed in an autoclave and subjected to a hydrolyzing treatment with steam raised to a pressure of 1000 p. s. i. (steam temperature about 285 C.) in seconds, whereupon the autoclave exhaust valve was opened and the veneers removed.
Fourteen sheets of the hydrolyzed veneers were arranged in a ply stack in a platen press. In this example the moisture content of the veneers going into the press was not adjusted, and the press was equipped with a wire screen placed beneath the ply stack to permit escape of moisture during the pressing operation. The ply stack was subjected to a temperature of about 200 C. and the pressure on the stack then raised to about 500 p. s. i. and then backed 011' to about 250 p. s. i. and so held for 15 minutes. The press platens were then chilled to a, temperature of about 55 C. while still retaining the pressure on the ply stack. After chilling, the pressure was released and the finished plywood material removed from the platen press.
Example 4 Natural gum veneers, 5 1 inch in thickness, were placed in an autoclave and subjected'toa hydrolyzing treatment with steam raised to a pressure of 1000 p. s. i.- (steam temperature about 285 C.) in 20 seconds, whereupon the steam was shut ofi and the autoclave exhaust valve opened. The hydrolyzed veneers in which the lignins had been activated were removed from the autoclave and washed with water at a temperature of about C. to remove soluble acids and the like. to about 5%.
Fourteen sheets of these veneers were arranged in a ply stack in a platen press and subjected to a temperature of about 220 C. and a pressure of about p. s. i. which was released and raised again to 160 p. s. i. four times at 30-second intervals to breathe out moisture, after which the pressure was raised to about 750 p. s. i. and held for about 1 minutes. The press platens were then chilled to a temperature of about 55 C. while still retaining the pressure on the ply stack. After chilling, the pressure was released and the finished plywood material removed.
Example 5 Pine veneers, inch in thickness, were placed in an autoclave and subjected to a hydrolyzing treatment with steam raised to a pressure of 1000 p. s. i. (steam temperature about 285 C.) in 35 seconds, whereupon the autoclave exhaust valve was opened. The hydrolyzed veneers, in which the lignins had been activated, were removed from the autoclave and air-dried to about 5% moisture content.
Four sheets of the air-dried hydrolyzed pine veneers were arranged in a ply stack in a platen press and subjected to a temperature of about 220 C. and a pressure of 125 p. s. i., which was releasedto breathe outmoisture and raised again to 125 p. s. i. five times at l5-second intervals, after which the pressure was raised to about 750 p. s. i. and held for about 1 minute. The platen press was then chilled to a temperature of about 45 C. while still retaining the pressure on the ply stack. After chilling, the pressure was released and the finished plywood material removed from the platen press.
The plywood material obtained from the above examples had the following characteristics:
Example-- Caliper. inches .383 382 197 10 Specific Gravity. 1.32 1.34 1.00 1.42 1.29 MOR. .s. 8,240 0,750 10, 330 14,500 6,600 Per Cent Water Abso tion, 24 hrs 5. 2 4. 5 26. 6 7. 5 l2. 0 Per Cent Water Swelling.

finished plywood product has a glossy smooth surface which is relatively hard.
It is to be understood that the details described for illustration need not strictly be adhered to, and that the hydrolyzing and pressing conditions, the form of the pressing surfaces, and the like may be modified and suitable plywood products can be obtained. Modifications and variations within the scope of the claims are included in the invention.
