This work presents an innovative method for producing porous castings from polymer dispersion with wood flour. The method described for forming porous castings from blends, in which the aqueous dispersions of polymers are binders, enables the manufacturing of wood-like products with a cork-like structure. The casting technology and selected properties of finished castings (density, compression strength) are presented. The structurual investigations of the obtained castings are also presented.
