What can bamboo be used for? Don't underestimate it. An ordinary bamboo, crushed into bamboo strands, undergoes the triple "experience" of drying, dipping, and drying, and it will transform into a new material-restructuring bamboo, which can not only be used for furniture, but also replaced by concrete Floor, build a house.
Bamboo "reorganization" can build a house
Building a house out of bamboo was previously imagined by many bamboo poles. However, at this stage, the building materials made of bamboo and wood look almost the same. Using bamboo as the raw material, the profiles formed by high temperature and high pressure heat curing can be used for flooring and furniture.
Bamboo has high tensile and compressive strength, which can be used as a load-bearing member of the house. China is rich in bamboo resources. Bamboo is a renewable natural material. Bamboo is made in 3 to 5 years. It is less destructive to the environment during harvesting and utilization, and concrete is not renewable. It will also generate construction waste after use. Building a house with bamboo materials, replacing concrete with concrete to make floors, and building tall buildings must be very green, ecological, environmentally friendly and low-carbon.
Rebuilding a bamboo house is like building blocks
The method of rebuilding the combined floor structure of the bamboo structure is the same as that of the ordinary wooden structure and concrete house in appearance, but the method of construction is very different. "To give a simple example, the wooden structure houses use tenons and mortises for beam-to-column connection, and we use U-shaped hoop connection, and the members are connected by wood bolts and steel plates to achieve reliable force transmission. Building a house with a recombined bamboo is like building blocks. Taking the floor as an example, they first lay a layer of pine board, put a floor recombined bamboo grid on the pine board, and fill insulation between the grids. Light-weight sound insulation materials, waterproof breathable membranes and moisture-proof membranes, etc., meet people's requirements for residential thermal insulation, sound insulation and waterproofing.
What is restructuring bamboo?
Recombined bamboo, also known as bamboo, is a new bamboo material that reorganizes and strengthens bamboo materials, that is, bamboo materials are processed into strips of bamboo sticks, bamboo filaments or crushed into bamboo strands, which are dried Dip the glue, dry it to the required moisture content, and then lay it in the mold, which is cured by high temperature and high pressure heat curing.
In recent years, the supply of high-quality wood, especially hardwood, has become less and less, and prices have become higher and higher. For example, the price of mahogany has doubled or even increased several tens of times. The intensified contradiction between timber supply and demand has seriously restricted the development of China's furniture industry and has become a bottleneck for development. In order to solve this problem, people use their ingenuity and innovate continuously, and develop a variety of new materials, new processes, and new technologies. Such as pine wood degreasing technology, E0 (or aldehyde-free) low free formaldehyde release artificial board, functional artificial board, honeycomb board, wood-plastic composite material (WPC material), etc. Recombinant bamboo is a striking new material developed and applied in recent years. This material is completely new material independently developed by the Chinese.
At present, the production technology of recombined bamboo is mainly divided into two categories: one is cold forming and heat curing process, referred to as cold pressing process; the other is to draw on the traditional hot pressing process of artificial board to form the recombined bamboo hot pressing process.
