The invention relates to a material board, in particular an engineered wood board (1) comprising at least one core layer (2) made of strands (3), and outer layers (4, 5) made of chips (6), characterised in that one or both of the outer layers (4, 5) is/are designed as partial-coverage outer layers such that individual strands (3) extend at least partly through the outer layer (4, 5) up to the board surface, thereby forming interruptions in the outer layer (4, 5).

A fluoroacrylate polymer is used to create a covering or treatment of the edges of decorative panels. A method for manufacturing decorative panels involves using fluoroacrylate polymer as a covering or treatment.

A method to manufacture, on one or more production or manufacturing lines, an integrated roofing product, such as a roofing panel or roofing plank. A blank panel of engineered wood is cut or sawn into a plurality of raw planks or raw panels, each with an outer face, an inner face, a top edge, and a bottom edge. Each raw plank or panel is then processed by cutting or routing a profile into the top edge, the bottom edge, or both; affixing a gasket seal to the profile in the top edge or the bottom edge, or both; coating at least some or all of the outer face with a silicone-based or silicone-containing coating; applying a mix of granules and/or sand to the silicone-based coating while wet; and curing the coated plank or panel. A plurality of panels or planks can then be installed on a roofing structure.

A process for producing a lignocellulose-containing, plastic-coated and printable molding (26), in particular in sheet form, comprising the steps of: a) producing a layer (A, B′) containing lignocellulose-containing particles according to the shape of the molding to be produced (26); b) applying a layer (C) of particles containing electron beam-reactive thermoplastic onto the layer produced according to the preceding feature; c) heating the layers (A, C) produced according to the preceding features such that thermoplastic particles melt into the layer containing lignocellulose-containing particles (Cs); d) pressing the layers heated according to feature (1c); and e) irradiating the layers pressed according to feature (1d) with electrons in the energy range from 1 MeV to 10 MeV. The process is for example elucidated with reference to an MDF sheet one-sidedly provided with a polymer layer.

A method of manufacturing a separate and continuous layer being essentially uncured. The method includes applying a powder mix including fibres and a thermosetting binder on a carrier, forming a powder mix layer, wherein the powder mix is connected together such that the powder mix layer is obtained and wherein the powder mix layer is essentially uncured, and releasing the powder mix layer from the carrier. Also, a layer and a method for manufacturing a building panel.

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a decorative wood-based board, to a decorative wood-based board, to the use of at least one dry or liquid coating composition comprising at least one inorganic particulate filler material and at least one binder for in-line coating of decorative wood-based boards, and to the use of at least one dry or liquid coating composition comprising at least one inorganic particulate filler material and at least one binder for improving the mechanical properties of a decorative wood-based board. Furthermore, it relates to the use of a decorative wood-based board in flooring applications, furniture, walls, roof panels, display cabinets, storage units, loudspeakers and shop-fittings.

Methods of forming a lightweight reinforced thermoplastic core layer and articles including the core layer are described. In some examples, the methods use a combination of thermoplastic material, reinforcing fibers and bicomponent fibers to enhance retention of lofting agents in the core layer. The processes permit the use of less material while still providing sufficient lofting capacity in the final formed core layer.

A method to produce a veneer element, including defects and dense portions. The method includes providing a substrate, providing a sub-layer, including a binder and coloured filler particles, applying the sub-layer on a first surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure, preferably heat and pressure, to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, thereby forming a veneer element wherein, after pressing, the sub-layer is visible through a defect of the veneer element such as crack, cavity, hole and/or knot of the veneer layer. Also, a veneer element.

A casket and method for manufacture of a casket is described, and more particularly, for a casket having walls constructed of fiberboard such as medium density fiberboard (MDF). The walls have outside cladding of MDF that is molded or extruded to provide surface contours such as raised and/or recessed features without having to attach such features as separate trim pieces to the walls. The resulting casket provides aesthetic characteristics and strength for use in funeral ceremonies.
