A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

Sheet material includes at least two layers of material, wherein a first layer of material forms more than half the thickness of the sheet material and is mainly built up from wood particles glued by means of a first binder and pressed. The first binder is thermosetting, wherein the second layer of material is present on the surface of the aforementioned sheet material and is mainly built up from particulate particles glued by a second binder and pressed. The second binder is thermoplastic and/or elastomeric.

A method for producing a cellulose product from an air-formed cellulose blank structure comprising the steps; providing a cellulose blank structure which is air-formed from cellulose fibres; applying, in a first application step (S.sub.A1), an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion to the cellulose blank structure, and applying, in a second application step (S.sub.A2) a latex dispersion to the cellulose blank structure arranging the cellulose blank structure with the applied alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion and latex dispersion in a forming mould; heating the cellulose blank structure to a forming temperature (T.sub.F) in the range of 100° C. to 300° C., and forming the cellulose product from the cellulose blank structure in the forming mould, by pressing the heated cellulose blank structure with the applied alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion and latex dispersion with a forming pressure (P.sub.F) of at least 1 MPa, preferably 4-20 MPa.

The present invention relates to a multi-layer wood composite block, a multi-layer wood veneer and methods for producing the same. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the multi-layer wood veneer as a decorative and/or trim element, in particular in a vehicle interior, and articles comprising the multi-layer wood veneer.

A device for making a molded stair tread is described. The device can have: a base; a pivoting assembly; a molding template connected to the pivoting assembly; a holding device connected to the molding template, the holding device having a clamp jaw and a pivot configured to rotate the holding device relative to the molding template; and a locking mechanism configured to hold the molding template and the holding device in an open configuration such that the holding device can accept a first part of the plastic sheet and configured to release the molding template and the holding device such that the holding device is in a securing configuration that secures, via the clamp jaw, the first part of the plastic sheet to the first side of the molding template at the first longitudinal edge of the molding template. Methods for making the stair tread are described as well as the molded stair tread.

A method of manufacturing includes cutting a first natural or non-composite veneer sheet to a first length, cutting a second natural or non-composite veneer sheet to the first length, coating an inner surface of the first natural or non-composite veneer sheet with an adhering means, coating an inner surface of the second natural or non-composite veneer sheet with an adhering means, coating a plurality of veneer strands with an adhering means, placing the plurality of veneer strands on the inner surface of the first natural or non-composite veneer sheet, placing the second natural or non-composite veneer sheet on top of the plurality of veneer strands to create a mat, compressing the mat in an unheated pre-press, and compressing the mat in a hot press at an elevated temperature to create a panel.

A composite wood panel is manufactured from thin wood laminae cut from wood unsuitable for peeler logs or dimensional lumber. At least one bonding agent is applied to the wood laminae, and they are formed into a randomly oriented mat that is compressed into a thin wood web that can be a corrugated web or a flat web that is permanently set in a single press operation.

A load ramp for a vehicle includes a corrugated layer that has a first surface and a second surface. A first layer is positioned adjacent to the first surface of the corrugated layer. A second layer is positioned adjacent to the second surface of the corrugated layer such that the corrugated layer is positioned between the first and second layers, A thickness of the load ramp can be in the range of about 10 mm to about 30 mm. A load capacity of the load ramp can be at least about 100 kg, A method of manufacturing the load ramp is also disclosed.

A method to produce a building panel, including providing a core, applying a first paper layer on a first surface of the core, wherein the first paper layer includes a resin impregnated paper, applying refined lignocellulosic fibres on the first paper layer, applying a wood veneer layer above the refined lignocellulosic fibres, applying pressure to the core, the first paper layer, the refined lignocellulosic fibres, and the wood veneer layer to form a building panel. Also, to such building panel.

A powder coating composition comprising: a) a thermoset resin comprising an acid functional polyester material, b) a thermoplastic resin and c) a crosslinker material,
wherein the coating composition is substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE).
