The liquid timber



new building material called arboform. The second name - bioplastic. The liquid wood has lots of advantages, the most important of which - long service life (20 - 30 years). If you are thinking about building a country house, it is clear that the lumber country houses out of the competition as well as log homes, since new material bioplastic, despite its relevance in many areas of production, compared to wood, has several disadvantages: it does not decompose, is produced from hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, and its reserves are irreplaceable. A team of scientists, led by Norbert Ayzenrayhom from Fraunhofer Chemical Technology University back in the mid-1990s began to work on alternatives to plastics. As a result, scientists have studied the properties of lignin and found ways to produce from wood waste.

House of liquid wood is resistant to thermal and mechanical stress
What is liquid wood? 80% of crushed wood, and contains lignin, and polymeric resins. Thanks lignin finished product looks like a polished wood, acquired the properties of a flexible, durable, resistant to mechanical and thermal effects of plastic: arboform withstand even strong blows and not deformed.
