A device and a method for specifically influencing the technological properties of individual regions of a sheet-like material are provided, including the following steps: a) fixing the sheet-like material or a pre-compacted material nonwoven or a material fiber cake on a workbench, b) placing at least one applicator on the upper side and/or the underside of the sheet-like material, the material nonwoven or the material fiber cake, c) specifically moving the at least one applicator on the upper side and/or the underside and pressing an improving medium into partial regions of the sheet-like material, the material nonwoven or the material fiber cake in a predetermined amount and under a predetermined pressure, d) optionally, subsequently pressing the pre-compacted material nonwoven or the material fiber cake to form a sheet of the desired thickness.

A process for producing a smooth-sided strand-based siding or wood structural panel using a secondary pressing process. The secondary pressing process is performed after the primary process completes pressing and consolidation of the substrate/board. The secondary process applies and cures the overlay after applying a water spray on the hot board immediately out of the primary process press, and before overlay application. The application of the water spray causes the surface of the board to swell and cure. A settling period follows to allow the top surface particles and strands to swell along with absorption and evaporation of the moisture. This is followed by surface sanding to remove the telegraphing and produce a smooth surface, which is then followed by lamination of the overlay(s). The process is completed by post-lamination treatment and coating of the board.

The disclosure proposes a fibreboard made of lignocellulose-containing fibres, in particular wood fibres and a binding agent for providing a fibreboard which enables to combine a high stability, on the one hand, and a comparatively small weight, on the other hand, and which can nevertheless be manufactured with a minor financial effort.

A temperature-curable aminoplastic adhesive resin that is a (poly)-condensate of: (i) at least one aminoplast-forming chemical; (ii) 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), its oligomers and/or its isomers; and, (iii) at the least one second (poly-)condensable chemical produced in the presence of an organic sulfonic acid. Composite boards, such as wood-based panels, can be produced using this adhesive resin. The production of the aminoplastic adhesive resins includes the reaction of urea with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and glyoxal in the presence of an organic sulfonic acid as a hardener. The adhesive resin can be used in the production of wood-based panels, such as, particleboards, chipboards, fiberboards and products usually called, among others, plywood and/or blockboards, in the presence of an organic sulfonic during curing.
