Description

Et inert vekstmedium og fremgangsmåte ved fremstilling derav Teknisk område An inert growth medium and method for producing it Technical area

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører et inert vekstmédium basert på elastisk polyuretanskum. The present invention relates to an inert growth medium based on elastic polyurethane foam.

Bakgrunn Background

Jord som vekstmedium medfører flere ulemper. Det kan f.eks. være vanskelig å foreta en kontrollert tilførsel av næringsstoffer til planter som vokser i jord. Videre kan det være vanskelig å påvirke bakteriemiljøet i jorden uten samtidig Soil as a growing medium entails several disadvantages. It can e.g. be difficult to make a controlled supply of nutrients to plants growing in soil. Furthermore, it can be difficult to influence the bacterial environment in the soil without at the same time

å skade vektsbetingelsene for plantene.to damage the weight conditions for the plants.

I senere år er der for dyrkning av planter uten å bruke jord benyttet den såkalte hydrokultur hvorunder flere inerte vekstmedier er blitt brukt, som har vært tilsatt næringsstoffer for plantene under kontrollerte betingelser. Når imidlertid inerte vekstmedier brukes har det vist seg å være vanskelig å oppnå en riktig balanse mellom behovet for et tilstrekkelig luftinnhold i vekstmediet og for det andre behovet for en tilstrekkelig vannretensjonsevne, og for det tredje kravet om at hudirriterende substanser ikke skal foreligge. In recent years, the so-called hydroculture has been used to grow plants without using soil, under which several inert growth media have been used, which have added nutrients for the plants under controlled conditions. However, when inert growth media are used, it has proven to be difficult to achieve a correct balance between the need for a sufficient air content in the growth medium and, secondly, the need for a sufficient water retention capacity, and thirdly, the requirement that skin-irritating substances should not be present.

Under forsøk på å utviklse syntetiske vekstmedia er forskjellige typer plaster inter alia anvendt, f.eks. polyuretanskum og polyakrylonitril podet på massefibre i forbindelse med in situ polymerisasjon, ionebyttere mettet med gjødnings-stoffer, leirarter og torvbunn. Slike medier er f.eks. be-skrevet i i svensk patent nr. 349,225, tysk utlegningsskrift nr..1,221,484. og nr. 1,227,724 og fransk patent nr. 2,056,215. During attempts to develop synthetic growth media, various types of plaster have inter alia been used, e.g. polyurethane foam and polyacrylonitrile grafted onto pulp fibers in connection with in situ polymerisation, ion exchangers saturated with fertilisers, clay species and peat soil. Such media are e.g. described in Swedish patent no. 349,225, German explanatory document no..1,221,484. and No. 1,227,724 and French Patent No. 2,056,215.

Imidlertid er ingen av disse forsøkene falt helt tilfreds-stillende ut. Når f.eks. torv tilblandes, vil ikke mediet lenger forbli inert fordi flere forskjellige organiske og I uorganiske næringsstoffer samt patogene kimer og andre bakterier som er skadelige for veksten noen ganger foreligger i torven. However, none of these attempts have turned out completely satisfactorily. When e.g. peat is added, the medium will no longer remain inert because several different organic and inorganic nutrients as well as pathogenic germs and other bacteria which are harmful to growth are sometimes present in the peat.

Det ovennevnte svenske patent beskriver et vekstmedium bestående av en fUtlignende masse av naturlige cellulosefibre, en akrylonitrilpolymer som er kjemisk bundet til"disse gjen-, nom in situ polymerisasjon. Vekstmediet består av de resul- I terende polymerpodede massefibre, og et forutbestemt vekst-forhold av polymerandelen til cellulosedelen av fibrene an-gis for disse massefibre idet vektforholdet bestemmes mellom mengden av anvendt polymer for polymerpodingen av masse-, fibrene. The above-mentioned Swedish patent describes a growth medium consisting of a foot-like mass of natural cellulose fibers, an acrylonitrile polymer which is chemically bound to these through in situ polymerization. The growth medium consists of the resulting polymer-grafted pulp fibers, and a predetermined growth ratio of the polymer part to the cellulose part of the fibers is given for these pulp fibers, the weight ratio being determined between the amount of polymer used for the polymer grafting of the pulp fibers.

Videre beskriver tysk utlegningsskrift nr. 2,054,823 en fremgangsmåte ved fremstilling av plantesubstrater basert på polyuretanskum-substanser. Furthermore, German specification no. 2,054,823 describes a method for the production of plant substrates based on polyurethane foam substances.

Ved den fremgangsmåte som er behandlet i det tyske utlegnings-skriftet fremstilles lagringsstabile, sammenpressede plantesubstrater i ferdig dimensjonerte piastfilminnpakninger, hvilke plantesubstrater er basert på hydrofile, elastiske polymetanskumsubstanser. Disse polyuretanskumsubstansene' With the method discussed in the German explanatory document, storage-stable, compressed plant substrates are produced in ready-sized piastre film wrappers, which plant substrates are based on hydrophilic, elastic polymethane foam substances. These polyurethane foam substances'

må kunne svelle for å absorbere det tilførte vann i slik grad at de fyller ut plastfilminnpakningene fullstendig. must be able to swell to absorb the added water to such an extent that they completely fill the plastic film wrappers.

I forbindelse med det hydrofile polyuretanskum kan det være en fordel å bruke hydrofobe polyuretanskum da bruk av det hydrofile polyuretanskum medfører betydelige problemer; Det er således for en fagmann velkjent at rockwool^-—'-produk-ter er forbundet med den betydelige ulempe at det er vanskelig å oppnå tilstrekkelig ventilasjon, og det er derfornesten alltid umulig å unngå rotforråtnelse idet rockwool^—-produkter i stor grad brukes som plantedyrkningssubstrater og nettopp er særpreget ved sterkt hydrofile egenskaper. In connection with the hydrophilic polyurethane foam, it can be an advantage to use hydrophobic polyurethane foam as using the hydrophilic polyurethane foam entails significant problems; It is thus well known to a person skilled in the art that rockwool^-—'-products are associated with the significant disadvantage that it is difficult to achieve sufficient ventilation, and it is therefore almost always impossible to avoid root rot, since rockwool^—-products to a large extent are used as plant cultivation substrates and are precisely characterized by strong hydrophilic properties.

Bruken av hydrofobt polyuretanskum overvinner de ovennevnte ulemper vedrørende rotforråtnelse som følger med bruken av det hydrofile polyuretanskum. Dette skyldes at materialet etter fukting inneholder den nødvendige mengde luft. Videre er materialet behagelig å arbeide med og irriterer ikke huden. Videre kan det lagres i sammentrykket tilstand før bruk.IImidlertid gir det hydrofobe polyuretanskum det problem at det som følge av sin hydrofobe natur er vanskelig å fukte og det gir ikke tilstrekkelig kapillarvirkning til å gi den nødvendige vannrensjonsevne. En blanding av hydrofilt polyuretanskum i et hydrofobt polyuretanskum kan ikke garantere i en riktig fukting og vannretensjonsevne mer enn en blanding av hydrofobt polyuretanskum i hydrofilt polyuretanskum kan, fordi det har vist seg at mengden av vann som bindes til,det. polyuretanskum bindes så sterkt til dette at vannet ikke'er tilgjengelig for planterøttene på en slik måte at røttene er istand til å absorbere vannet. The use of hydrophobic polyurethane foam overcomes the above-mentioned root rot disadvantages associated with the use of the hydrophilic polyurethane foam. This is because the material contains the required amount of air after wetting. Furthermore, the material is pleasant to work with and does not irritate the skin. Furthermore, it can be stored in a compressed state before use. However, the hydrophobic polyurethane foam presents the problem that, due to its hydrophobic nature, it is difficult to moisten and it does not provide sufficient capillary action to provide the necessary water purification ability. A mixture of hydrophilic polyurethane foam in a hydrophobic polyurethane foam cannot guarantee a proper wetting and water retention capacity any more than a mixture of hydrophobic polyurethane foam in hydrophilic polyurethane foam can, because it has been shown that the amount of water that binds to it. polyurethane foam binds to this so strongly that the water is not available to the plant roots in such a way that the roots are able to absorb the water.

Formålet med foreliggende oppfinnelse er å tilveiebringeThe purpose of the present invention is to provide

For dette formål er vekstmediet ifølge foreliggende oppfinnelsekarakterisert vedat polyuretanskummet er hydrofobt og For this purpose, the growth medium according to the present invention is characterized in that the polyurethane foam is hydrophobic and

at det inneholder naturlige fibre, fortrinnsvis i en mengde på 10 - 70 vekt-% beregnet på sluttproduktet, for å gi en optimal vannretensjonsevne.. that it contains natural fibres, preferably in an amount of 10 - 70% by weight calculated on the final product, to give an optimal water retention capacity..

Som naturlig fibre forétrekkes å bruke granulert papir, fortrinnsvis i en mengde på 40 - 60 vekt-%, eller oppslått masse (fluff), fortrinnsvis•i en mengde på 25-35 vekt-%. As natural fibres, it is preferred to use granulated paper, preferably in an amount of 40-60% by weight, or fluffed pulp (fluff), preferably in an amount of 25-35% by weight.

Overraskende har det vist seg at ved å variere mengden av naturlig fibre er det mulig å tilveiebringe en optimal vannretensjonsevne. Således har det vist seg å være mulig Surprisingly, it has been shown that by varying the amount of natural fibers it is possible to provide an optimal water retention capacity. Thus, it has been shown to be possible

å justere en passende hydrofob/hydrofil balanse ved å variere mengden av hydrofobt polyuretan og hydrofile naturlige to adjust an appropriate hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance by varying the amount of hydrophobic polyurethane and hydrophilic natural

fibre innenfor de ovennevnte grenser.fibers within the above limits.

Som en bidragende faktor til en korrekt justering av hydro- ] fob/hydrofil balanse foretrekkes det i.h.t. en utførelses-form av oppfinnelsen å bruke et. fuktemiddel, fortrinnsvis et ikke-ionisk aktivt fuktemiddel ved fremstillingen av vekstmediet.

Kort beskrivelse av tegning og utførelsesmåte av oppfinnelsen Brief description of the drawing and embodiment of the invention

Oppfinnnelsen skal beskrives i nærmere detalj i det følgende eksempel under henvisning til den medfølgende tegning som illustrerer resultatene av sammenligningsforsøk. The invention shall be described in more detail in the following example with reference to the accompanying drawing which illustrates the results of comparative tests.

Eksempel Example

For å måle virkningen av a blande inn masse i rekombinert polyuretanskum ble de følgende prøver fremstilt: To measure the effect of mixing pulp into recombined polyurethane foam, the following samples were prepared:

I Rekombinert skum uten masseI Recombined foam without pulp

II Rekombinert skum inneholdende 15 vekt-% masse III Rekombinert skum inneholdende 30 vekt-% masse II Recombined foam containing 15% mass by weight III Recombined foam containing 30% mass by weight

IV Rekombinert skum inneholdende.43,5 vekt-% masse IV Recombined foam containing 43.5% mass by weight

Alle prøver hadde en densitet på 50- kg/m 3 og ble fremstilt i henhold til den følgende tabell: All samples had a density of 50 kg/m 3 and were prepared according to the following table:

Det granulerte polyuretanskum inneholdt elastisk polyuretan-i skum granulert i små biter på 2 - 30 mm, fortrinnsvis 5 - 10 mm. Den oppslåtte cellulosemasse som ble brukt inneholdt oppslått masse av samme type som brukes i bleier. Prepoly-meren var et bindemiddel bestående av 100 deler polyeter-polyol med en OH-verdi på 4 3 sammen med 20 deler toluen di-isocyanat. Før bruk var blandingen preomsatt i 48 timer ved 1 romtemperatur. The granulated polyurethane foam contained elastic polyurethane foam granulated in small pieces of 2 - 30 mm, preferably 5 - 10 mm. The shredded cellulose pulp that was used contained shredded pulp of the same type as is used in diapers. The prepolymer was a binder consisting of 100 parts polyether polyol with an OH value of 4 3 together with 20 parts toluene diisocyanate. Before use, the mixture was prereacted for 48 hours at 1 room temperature.

"Berol" 087 er et ikke-ionisk aktivt fuktemiddel fra Berol Kemi AB. "Berol" 087 is a non-ionic active wetting agent from Berol Kemi AB.

Granulert polyuretan og opphakket cellulosemasse ble blandetGranulated polyurethane and chopped cellulose pulp were mixed

i en mikser. Under røringen ble en løsning av "Berol" 087 til-ført ved hjelp av en sprøytekanon og til slutt ble fortynnet prepolymer tilført ved hjelp av en sprøytekanon. Fortynningen ble utført med Freon 11 som senere fordampet etter sprøyting. in a mixer. During the stirring, a solution of "Berol" 087 was added by means of a spray gun and finally diluted prepolymer was added by means of a spray gun. The dilution was carried out with Freon 11 which later evaporated after spraying.

Blandingen ble overført i en 8 liters form og overopphetet . damp ble tilført i 10 min., hvorpå den ferdige prøve ble fjernet etter ytterligere 5 min. The mixture was transferred into an 8 liter mold and superheated. steam was supplied for 10 min., after which the finished sample was removed after a further 5 min.

For sammenligningsforsøk ble 7 rondeller punchet ut av prøvene I - IV. Rondellene hadde en diameter på 77 mm og en tykkelse på 10 mm. De 7 rondeller av hvert materiale ble stablet på en avfettet plastplate som deretter ble neddyppet i vann for å sikre at stabelen ble fullstendig mettet med vann i forbindelse med utpresning av all luften. Stablene ble deretter tatt ut av vannet og etter henstand i 10 min. ble vektøkningen målt for hver rondell. Basert på disse målingene ble den ab-j sorberte vannmengden beregnet som andel av volumet som funk-' sjon av høyden til den enkelte rondell i stabelen. Den gjen-værende vannmengde fremgår fra tegningen. For comparison tests, 7 rondels were punched out of samples I - IV. The round parts had a diameter of 77 mm and a thickness of 10 mm. The 7 rondels of each material were stacked on a degreased plastic sheet which was then immersed in water to ensure that the stack was completely saturated with water in connection with squeezing out all the air. The stacks were then taken out of the water and after a period of 10 min. the increase in weight was measured for each roundel. Based on these measurements, the amount of water absorbed was calculated as a proportion of the volume as a function of the height of the individual rondel in the stack. The remaining amount of water can be seen from the drawing.

Deretter ble prøvene plassert på slik måte at. den laveste rondellen ble dyppet i vann. Etter 24 timer ble restmengden av vann beregnet. Herved viste prøvene I og II seg å være opptørket i de øverste rondeller, mens prøvene III og IV også hadde bibeholdt sin fuktighet i- de øverste rondeller. En avgjørende forbedring av vannretensjonsevnen oppnås således med et innhold av cellulosefibre på 30% eller mer. The samples were then placed in such a way that. the lowest roundel was dipped in water. After 24 hours, the residual amount of water was calculated. Hereby, samples I and II proved to be dried up in the uppermost rondels, while samples III and IV had also retained their moisture in the uppermost rondels. A decisive improvement in the water retention capacity is thus achieved with a content of cellulose fibers of 30% or more.
