The present invention relates to a wooden material panel, in particular a wood-plastic composite material, including particles of wood and at least one plastic that is functionalized with at least one organic compound. At least one decorative layer is provided on at least one side of the wooden material 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.

Automatic machine (1) for coating panels with leather or fabrics comprising: —a base (2), provided with a fixed perimeter surround (3), containing a vertically movable supporting surface (4) for a coating material (M) and for a panel (P) to be coated; —two pairs of movable clasps (5, 6), arranged on opposing sides of the perimeter surround (3), parallel to the sides of the surface (4), adapted to determine the preliminary pulling of the coating material (M) in a transversal and longitudinal direction and then its surmounting and folding onto an upper face of the panel (P) to be coated; —means of reversibly lowering the surface (4); —a frame (7), in one piece with the base (2) and above it, carrying a hydraulic piston (8), arranged perpendicular to the surface (4), adapted to block the panel (P) to be coated on the coating material (M) subjected to pulling; —an electronic command and control unit for the moving parts.

The method is carried out by means of the stacked deposition of a series of layers of fibers and/or particles with a binder material and/or other chemical additives on a conveyor belt until a multilayer mat is produced, in which the layers are physically different from one another. The method comprises: defining the final thickness and density of the board; defining the number of layers forming the board and the type of material to be used for each layer; selecting and preparing the constituent material of each layer to be formed; depositing, in a stacked and staggered manner, the layers previously defined according to weight per m2 of each layer; pre-compacting and, optionally, pre-heating the mat; compacting the mat using pressure and heat. The invention also relates to the board produced using said method for the production of a symmetrical or asymmetrical, stable board.

A press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the press pad including a fabric, wherein the fabric is formed by warp threads in a warp direction and weft threads in a weft direction, wherein the warp threads and the weft threads are woven together to form the fabric, and wherein functional threads run in the warp direction or in the weft direction and are connected with the fabric so that a thickness of the fabric in an effective portion of the functional threads differs from a thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portion of the functional threads.

A waterproof wax, a waterproof treatment method for a splicing part of floorboards and a splice floorboard, relating to floorboards. The waterproof wax includes 60-85% by weight of a first paraffin, 1-15% by weight of a silicone resin, 10-20% by weight of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 2-5% by weight of amino silicone oil and 0.1-1% by weight of alkenyl succinate.

A method is provided comprising: providing particulate material comprising or consisting of particulate wooden material, producing glued particulate wooden material by applying an adhesive to the particulate wooden material, forming a spreading material mat by homogeneously spreading the glued particulate material onto a conveyor on which the spread glued particulate material is conveyed in a conveying direction, and producing a board by pressing the spreading material mat during conveying on the conveyor. Furthermore, a reinforcement material is applied to the spread glued particulate material perpendicular to the conveying direction during forming the spreading material mat and/or after forming the spreading material mat before any pressing of the spreading material mat such that the spreading material mat has at least one longitudinal reinforcement zone containing the reinforcement material. Boards can be obtained, from which panels can be produced having reinforced longitudinal and/or transversal edges.

A method to produce a veneered element, the method including applying a first layer on a substrate, applying a second layer on a veneer layer, applying the veneer layer with the second layer applied thereto on the first layer, such that the second layer is facing the first layer, pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form a veneered element, thereby material originating from the second layer permeates into the veneer layer, and wherein, after pressing, the first layer is visible through a crack, cavity, hole and/or knot of the veneer layer. Also, a veneered element.
