O.Z. 0050/41433 Moldinqs The present invention relates to moldings which contain, as principal components, finely divided natural or synthetic materials and condensates of high molecular weight polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols, alkanolamines or polyamines Moldings which essentially consist of finely divided natural or synthetic materials and binders, such as phenol/formaldehyde resins, furfurol resins, amino-plasts or starch, are known. For example, EP-A 0 123 234 contains information on sound insulating boards which are composed mainly of mineral fibers, nonfibrous mineral fillers and starch and are coated with melamine/formalde hyde resins. However, the disadvantage of these moldings is that either ~heir dimensional stability in the pres-ence of high atmospheric humidity is not completely satisfactory and they absorb the atmospheric moisture and become deformed under their own weight, or, in the course of time, they release volatile, low molecular weight binder constituents, such aci formaldehyde, which is dis-advantageous particularly during use in cLosed rooms.
It is an object of the present invention to provide moldings which, on the one hand, have increased dimensional stability in the presence of high atmospheric humidity and, on the other hand, have a reduced or very low content of binders produced from readily volatile starting materials.
We have found that this object is achieved by the moldings defined at the outsetl in which the condensat~s of high molecular weight polycarboxylic acids and poly-hydric alcohols, alkanolamines or polyamines act as binders.
Suitable finely divided natural or syn~hetic materials are materials such as sands, kaolins, ground slate, mineral fibers such as mineral wool, plastics fibers, eg. polypropylene fibers, celllllose fibers, glass fibers or comminuted wood, such as wood fibers.

value of from 90 to 130 in water at 25C. The flow rate of a 1% strength by weight solution of the sodium salt of pol~meric polycarboxylic acid in water is measured relative to the flow rate of pure water.

~he novel moldings are advan~ageously produced by a method in which the finely divided natural or synthetic materials are first added by mechanical mixing with an aqueous mixture of a binder. The mixture contains one or more high molecular weight polycarboxylic acids and one or more polyamineR, alkanolamines or polyhydric alcohols, gernerally in dissolved or dispersed form. The total amount of these substances in the mixture can be varied within wide ranges, in general from 0.05 to 40, in some cases up to 50% by weight, based on the aqueous mixture, depending on the application. Depending on the viscosity, concentrations of more than 5% by weight are advantageous for coatings. These binder mixtures can usually be processed more than one month after their preparation.
The excess binder is then usually separated off (for example by filtration under suction or pressing out), and the slurry-like material which results is molded and then dried at from 100 to 250C, drying being accompanie~ by esterification or amide formation in a condensation reaction, which is promoted by drying under pressure.
The high molecular weight polycarboxylic acids and the polyhydric alcohols, alkanolamines and polyamines are preferably used in amounts such that the number of acid functions in relation to the total number of alcoholic hydroxyl and amine functions is in a ratio of from 4:1 ~o 1:4, advantageously from 2:1 to 1:2 to one another.

These are obtainable in a conventional manner, for example by free radical emulsion polymerization. The same usually applies to polymeric polyalcohols which contain less than 75 mol%~ based on the monomers cons-tituting them, of polymerized monomers which have an alcoholic OH
group.
The binder content, based on the total mass of the moldings and calculated as dry material, is prefer-ably from 0.5 to 15% by weight, the water absorptivity ofthe binder in the dry state being usually less than 5% by weight, based on the dry mass of the binder.
In an alternative method of production, moldings which have been produced, for example, by pressing the lS finely di~ided natural or synthetic material~ are coated ~ith the aqueous mixtures containing one or more high molecular weight polycarbo~ylic acid~ and one or more polyamines, alkolamines or polyhydric alcohols in general in dissolved or disper~ed form, and are then dried.
Coating should be taken to include processes for applying the mixtures to the surface of the molding, such as impregnating, spraying and immersing. Basic moldings which are composed of natural or synthetic finely divided mat~rials and other binders, for examplQ starch, can also be treated in a corresponding manner by coating with the - condensates and drying.
The novel moldings are preferably produced in s~eet~ e form and used, ~or example, as ceiling panels in wet rooms. They are di~tinguished by reduced water ~bsorption, high internal strength and, consequently, increased dL~ensional stability.
It may be advantageous also to incorporate commercial flocculants, for example copol~mers of 70~ by weight of ac~ylamide and 30% by weight of diethylamino-ethyl acrylate or water-repellent assistan~s, such as stearyl diketene or polysiloxanes, or other conventional assistants, eg. an aqueous solution of al~minum sulfate . :,; .

Investigation of various novel moldings Fl to Fl7 a) Determination of the dimensional stability Test specimens ha~ing the following dimensions were produced by abrading the side facing away from the sieve during production of the molding (which will be described in det~il below):
length 250 mm width 50 mm and height 15 mm.
The moldings thus obtained were placed horizon-tally flat on a surface, supported only near each of the 50 mm wide end edges, in a room held at 38C and 99%
relative humidity and were loaded with a weight of 1 kg mass at their geometric center. The load was left in place for a certain time and then removed to measure the sag of the test specimen, ie. the lowering of the center relati~e to the starting position.
b) Strength Test specimen~ having the dimensions length 17 cm wi~th 2 cm and `
heigh~ 2 cm were placed horizontally on a surface, supported only near each of the end edges of the broad side, under standard conditions of temperature and humidity, and were subjec~ed to a continuously increasing Porce in their geometric center. The force applied when fracture occurs is a measure of the strength.

These are obtainable in a conventional manner, for example by free radical emulsion polymerization. The same usually applies to polymeric polyalcohols which contain less than 75 mol%~ based on the monomers cons-tituting them, of polymerized monomers which have an alcoholic OH
group.
The binder content, based on the total mass of the moldings and calculated as dry material, is prefer-ably from 0.5 to 15% by weight, the water absorptivity ofthe binder in the dry state being usually less than 5% by weight, based on the dry mass of the binder.
In an alternative method of production, moldings which have been produced, for example, by pressing the lS finely di~ided natural or synthetic material~ are coated ~ith the aqueous mixtures containing one or more high molecular weight polycarbo~ylic acid~ and one or more polyamines, alkolamines or polyhydric alcohols in general in dissolved or disper~ed form, and are then dried.
Coating should be taken to include processes for applying the mixtures to the surface of the molding, such as impregnating, spraying and immersing. Basic moldings which are composed of natural or synthetic finely divided mat~rials and other binders, for examplQ starch, can also be treated in a corresponding manner by coating with the - condensates and drying.
The novel moldings are preferably produced in s~eet~ e form and used, ~or example, as ceiling panels in wet rooms. They are di~tinguished by reduced water ~bsorption, high internal strength and, consequently, increased dL~ensional stability.
It may be advantageous also to incorporate commercial flocculants, for example copol~mers of 70~ by weight of ac~ylamide and 30% by weight of diethylamino-ethyl acrylate or water-repellent assistan~s, such as stearyl diketene or polysiloxanes, or other conventional assistants, eg. an aqueous solution of al~minum sulfate . :,; .

EX~MPLES
Investigation of various novel moldings Fl to Fl7 a) Determination of the dimensional stability Test specimens ha~ing the following dimensions were produced by abrading the side facing away from the sieve during production of the molding (which will be described in det~il below):
length 250 mm width 50 mm and height 15 mm.
The moldings thus obtained were placed horizon-tally flat on a surface, supported only near each of the 50 mm wide end edges, in a room held at 38C and 99%
relative humidity and were loaded with a weight of 1 kg mass at their geometric center. The load was left in place for a certain time and then removed to measure the sag of the test specimen, ie. the lowering of the center relati~e to the starting position.
b) Strength Test specimen~ having the dimensions length 17 cm wi~th 2 cm and `
heigh~ 2 cm were placed horizontally on a surface, supported only near each of the end edges of the broad side, under standard conditions of temperature and humidity, and were subjec~ed to a continuously increasing Porce in their geometric center. The force applied when fracture occurs is a measure of the strength.
c) Tensile Porce The tensile force was determined according to DIN
53455.
