FIELD: technological processes.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for manufacture of articles of construction, finishing and other purposes in furniture and construction industries. The method for production of composite materials consists in treatment of vegetable raw material with overheated water steam, in which peat or mixture of peat with wood is used as vegetable raw at weight ratio = 1:1, and treatment of raw material with overheated water steam provided at 190-210°C and pressure 1.42 -2.03 Mpa for 10 min followed by decompression, drying of press-mass to moisture content of 5% and further hot pressing of produced press-mass at temperature of 120°C, 40 Mpa pressure for 5 min.
EFFECT: extension of raw material base by using peat for production of composite materials, possibility to produce additional amount of binding humid substances from it, reduced cost of the process by eliminating the catalysts leading to additional expenses and corrosion of process equipment.
