Methods for making flame retarded fiber boards using the composition as flame retarder and a hardener for the resin used in the production of the boards are also provided.

The invention disclosures a wood composite board and a preparation method thereof, comprising: mixing wood materials with the adhesive evenly, paving the mixed wood materials on the boards, and then forming through high-temperature and hot-pressing, the wood composite board of the invention has good evenness, high surface bonding strength, low moisture content, good dimensional stability, anti-cracking and anti-thermocycling performance, can use compound adhesives such as polyurethane adhesive, formaldehyde-free biomass adhesive or formaldehyde-type adhesives, waterproofing agent, mildew preventive, etc., and by the invention, fiber finish coat with different environmental protection standards can be produced according to market requirements, and the fiber finish coat has a low thickness swelling rate of water absorption and a thickness of 0.5-3 mm.

The present invention discloses a method for quick hot-press forming of laminated wood. The method includes: drying a machined small wood material to a moisture content of 5-8 wt %; gluing the dried small wood material, and assembling and laying the dried small wood material to be a square material or a sheet material, where an adhesive for the gluing is a water-soluble adhesive having a solid content of 45-60 wt %; clamping the square material or the sheet material through a three-dimensional metal clamp; sending the clamped square material or sheet material together with the clamp into a microwave heating machine for microwave heating to obtain a formed laminated wood, where the time from the gluing to the entry into the microwave heating machine is controlled to not exceed 15 min. According to the present invention, a glued part that needs to be heated can be heated quickly, precisely and effectively, the gluing strength and production efficiency of the laminated wood can be significantly improved, and the cost of production energy consumption is reduced.

A method of manufacturing a building panel. The method includes applying a first binder and free lignocellulosic or cellulosic particles on a first surface of a carrier for forming a first layer, applying a second binder and free lignocellulosic or cellulosic particles on the first layer for forming a second layer, wherein the first binder is different from the second binder, and applying heat and pressure to the first and second layers to form a building panel. Also, such a building panel.

Molded articles are provided. An exemplary molded article includes an inner panel portion, a main body portion, and a contoured portion extending between and interconnecting the inner panel portion and the main body portion so as to surround the inner panel portion and be surrounded by the main body portion. The contoured portion includes contoured corner segments and contoured elongated segments extending between respective pairs of the contoured corner segments. The contoured corner segments have a first maximum thickness. The contoured elongated segments have a second maximum thickness that is greater than the first maximum thickness. Related methods, assemblies, and apparatus are also provided.

The present invention relates to a method for producing isocyanate based lignocellulose materials in the presence of caprolactam, oligomers of caprolactam or mixtures thereof. The present invention also relates to the lignocellulose materials thus obtained and their use in furniture construction, housing construction, interior design and exhibition construction.
