A wood or engineered wood structural panel, such as, but not limited to, OSB (“oriented strand board”) or plywood, that is both fire-resistant and water resistant. The panel is factory-coated with a product that provides fire resistance. The treatment gives it a Fire-Resistant (FR) performance (for use in a one- or two-hour rated assembly). The panel also is overlaid or coated in a factory setting with a weather/water resistive barrier (WRB). The structural panel thus combines a fire-resistant structural sheathing and WRB product in one integrated panel produced at a factory prior for installation at a job site.

A fireproof and waterproof biomass floor and a manufacturing method therefor. The floor comprises, in parts by weight, 80-95 parts of a wood fiber, 5-20 parts of an additive, and 0-1 part of a pigment. The additive comprises the following raw material components in percentage by weight: a metal oxide: 10-20 wt %; a hydrochloride: 10-20 wt %; a non-metal oxide: 5-10 wt %; a weak acid: 5-10 wt %; a sulfate: 1-2 wt %; a phosphate: 1-2 wt %; and water: 36-68 wt %. The manufacturing method comprises: mixing the wood fiber, the additive, and the pigment; flatly laying the obtained mixture on a base plate; performing die pressing, and standing for 3-10 days; performing demolding; subjecting the obtained demolded plate to edge cutting, drying, sanding, assembling, hot pressing, cutting, curing, slotting, and silent pad pasting on the back face. The floor has the advantages of being fireproof, ultralow in water absorption thickness expansion rate, and ultralow in formaldehyde release amount.

An engineered wood based siding, cladding or panel with a pre-consolidated fines layer (PCF) applied to the top of the main strand matrix layers to minimize telegraphing and provide an improved surface appearance. The PCF is consolidated prior to application to the surface of the strand matrix or mat, and takes the place of a loose fines layer. The PCF prevents the loss of fines into the strand matrix, effectively keeping the fines at the surface so they can effectively and efficiently function to prevent or eliminate strand telegraphing, and provide a smooth finished surface for the product.

A method for producing a veneered board having a veneer and a carrier board, to provide a veneered board having improved use properties. The method includes: providing a veneer having an upper face and a lower face, applying an additive onto the lower face of the veneer, applying a binder onto the lower face of the veneer, heating the binder, producing a stack of materials to be pressed, having a carrier board and a veneer provided with an additive and a binder on its lower face, wherein the lower face of the veneer lies on the carrier board, pressing the stack of materials to be pressed in order to form a veneered board.

An engineered wood based siding, cladding or panel with a fines interface layer between the main strand matrix layers and the fines layer to minimize telegraphing and provide an improved surface appearance. The fines interface layer is applied to the surface of the strand matrix or mat prior to application of the fines layer. The FIL sits between the strand matrix and the fines layer, and prevents the loss of fines into the strand matrix. The FIL thus keeps the fines at the surface so they can effectively and efficiently function to prevent or eliminate strand telegraphing, and provide a smooth finished surface for the product.

A multi-layer fire-resistance treatment (FRT) panel for use as structural sheathing. The wood structural panel may be OSB or plywood, coated or treated during the manufacturing process with a product that provides fire resistance. The treatment may be integrated with the material forming the wood structural panel, or may be a coating layer applied to the mat or mat layer. A burn-through layer also may be applied. A protective layer comprising a resin-impregnated paper overlay may be applied on one or both sides of the panel.

The invention relates to a process for producing a thermoformable and/or embossable particle/polymer composite using a substrate S based on shredded polymer-coated paper and a thermoplastic polymer P, therewith providing a new method of recycling/upcycling paper waste. Furthermore, a process for the manufacturing of a molded article obtained from the paper-based particle/polymer composite and its use as an element in buildings or in furniture are disclosed.

The current invention concerns a method for producing an aqueous dispersion suitable for being used as a flame retardant additive to wood composite panels. At least one pH-regulator, at least one inorganic thickener, and optionally at least one smoke suppressing agent is added to a premix while maintaining the actuation of wet-milling systems until the dispersion is obtained.
