A method of forming a digital print on a surface by applying powder of dry ink including colourants on the surface, bonding a part of the dry ink powder to the surface by a digital heating print head such that the digital print is formed by the bonded dry ink colourants and removing non-bonded dry ink from the surface.

A method for producing an abrasion-resistant wood-based panel with a top side and a bottom side. At least one decorative layer, in particular as a printed decoration, is provided on the top side. The method includes applying at least one first resin layer to the at least one decorative layer on the top side of the wood-based panel, uniformly scattering abrasion-resistant particles onto the first resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel. The first resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel provided with the abrasion-resistant particles is not dried after application. The method also includes applying at least one second resin layer to the first, moist resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles on the top side of the wood-based panel, and then drying the assembly of first resin layer and second resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel in at least one drying apparatus.

Disclosed is a method for treating a grained material. A nonlimiting example of the method includes the operations of providing a workpiece having grains, exasperating a surface of the workpiece to open the grains, applying at least one coat of a base paint to the exasperated surface, applying at least one layer of clear coat on the base paint, applying at least one of a glaze and a paint on the clear coat, and surface treating to reveal grains of the workpiece. Disclosed also are items of furniture and sheet materials treated by the aforementioned process.

Building panels, especially floor panels, and a method of forming embossed in register surfaces with a digital ink head that applies a curable ink on the panel surface or on an upper side of a foil as a coating and forms an ink matrix that is used to create a cavity in the surface by applying a pressure on the ink matrix.

A method, system and network for prefabricating and constructing Class-A fire-protected wood-framed and mass timber buildings, while builders and owners are provided with knowledge of the quantity of carbon mass securely stored in Class-A fire-protected wood, represented by fire-protected carbon units (FPCUs), certified by the system and network. The network includes a system and mobile devices for estimating, recording and reporting the quantities of carbon mass securely stored in Class-A fire-protected wood-framed and mass-timber buildings on construction job-sites, and Class-A fire-protected wood-framed and mass timber components in factory environments, including engineered wood products (EWPs), mass timber assemblies and buildings constructed therefrom, whose quantized fire-protected carbon units (FPCUs) are also registered on the network for use in supporting various credits of value.

The present application relates to a coating composition and wood article manufactured therefrom, the coating composition comprising: (A) a film-forming resin composition comprising a reactive donor capable of providing two or more nucleophilic carbanions, and a reactive acceptor comprising two carbon-carbon double bonds; (B) a catalyst for catalyzing the Michael addition crosslinking reaction between the reactive donor and the reactive acceptor, wherein at least one of the reactive acceptor and the reactive donor comprises an aromatic ring structure, and wherein the polymer formed by homopolymerization of the reactive acceptor has a Tg of 100° C. or higher.

An enhanced wood product includes a wooden board or plank having a length and at least three sides, the sides defining a polygonal cross section along the length of the wooden board or plank. A polyurethane-urea coating on at least two of the sides very substantially increases the strength of the wood product and various products made with coated wood.
