The invention relates to a method for foaming chipboard with tubes including a board body interspersed by tubes and having an upper and a lower face includes the steps of providing a corresponding chipboard with tubes, defining one or more machining regions on the upper and/or lower face of the chipboard with tubes, machining the machining regions.

In order to provide a method for foaming chipboard with tubes and a chipboard with tubes having foamed tubes that can be used in a simple, flexible, and cost-effective manner while also being highly robust, a foam-forming material is introduced at least in portions of at least one of the above-mentioned tubes in the machining region in order to locally reduce the difference in density between the tubes and the board body. The invention further relates to the use of a device for foaming tubes of a chipboard with tubes.

Provided are a fiberboard structure manufacturing method, a fiberboard structure manufacturing system, and a fiberboard structure, in which preferred inkjet type printing on a substrate to which a fiberboard is applied is implemented. A fiberboard structure manufacturing method includes: applying an aqueous sealer to a first surface of a substrate in which a fiberboard is used; forming an undercoat layer in which the aqueous sealer is dried, on the first surface; applying an aqueous preconditioning liquid having a function of thickening an aqueous ink to the first surface on which the undercoat layer is formed; and jetting the aqueous ink from an inkjet type jetting head to apply the aqueous ink to the first surface on which the aqueous preconditioning liquid is applied.

A hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea is disclosed having the formula presented in claim 1, wherein R comprises an isocyanurate moiety, biuret moiety, allophonate moiety, glycoluril moiety, benzoguanamine moiety, polyetheramine moiety, and/or polymeric moiety different from a polyetheramine and having an Mn of 500 or greater; wherein each R.sub.1is independently a hydrogen, alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one R.sub.1 is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6. Further disclosed is a coating comprising: a film-forming resin; and a hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea crosslinker having the formula presented in claim 4, wherein R.sub.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.36 alkyl group, an aromatic group, an isocyanurate moiety, biuret moiety, allophonate moiety, glycoluril moiety, benzoguanamine moiety, polyetheramine moiety, and/or polymeric moiety different from a polyetheramine having an Mn of 500 or greater, wherein each R.sub.1 is independently a hydrogen, an alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one R1 is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6, and when R.sub.2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.36 alkyl group the film-forming resin comprises COOH functionality that reacts with the polyurea to form an ester linkage. Other hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea compounds, polymers made with the same, and compositions comprising the same are also disclosed as are substrates coated at least in part with or formed with any of the compositions described herein.

The invention relates to a method for operating a machine, in particular a coating machine, preferably a narrow-edge coating machine, such as those used e.g. in the furniture or component industry. The method comprises the following steps: transferring a plurality of input values from a storage device to a control device of the machine, the input values relating to at least one material and/or tool used in a processing of a workpiece, preparing the machine for processing based on the input values, processing a workpiece with the prepared machine, changing the input values based on the processing and/or the product, and transferring the changed input values to the storage device.
