Disclosed embodiments generally relate to a transaction card with a fabric inlay. The transaction card may include a housing component having a first housing surface opposite a second housing surface and an inlay component having a first inlay surface opposite a second inlay surface. The inlay and housing may be joined along the second inlay surface and the first housing surface. In addition, the first inlay surface may include a fabric material and a backer layer configured to support the fabric material of the first inlay surface.

The present disclosure relates to a hollow board 1 with first and second main surface layers 3, 5. A plurality of distance elements connecting the first and second main surface layers and maintain a predetermined distance there between. The main surface layers include at least a layer of high-density fiber, HDF, board, and a plurality of distance elements are distributed in the space between the main surface layers, and at least some comprise at least one elongate HDF board strip 15 which is oriented such that its longitudinal edges interconnect the first and second main surface layers 3, 5. The HDF boards of the surface layers and of the at least some of the distance elements comprise wood particles bonded by a resin including an isocyanate, such as methylene diphenyl di-isocyanate, MDI.

The present invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for producing a dimensionally stable extruded board product for use in surface coverings. The board product may be a basalt casting powder-based product for use as a substrate for wall or other surface coverings or may be used as a core layer in a modular floor covering unit. The modular floor covering unit comprises multiple layers. The layers are a thin cut stone veneer layer, a core layer with a density similar to that of the thin cut stone veneer layer, and an optional magnetically receptive underlayment layer. Other layers or combinations of layers may also be used.

A method for providing container flooring for a container, including: providing a plurality of container flooring boards, each including a plurality of strand layers including strands of wood bonded together, at least a top strand layer and a bottom strand layer of the container flooring board having its strands substantially aligned in a first direction, and a dimension of the container flooring board in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction being selected to extend laterally between sides of the container in use; and arranging the container flooring boards inside the container, each container flooring board being positioned so that the strands of the top strand layer and the bottom strand layer are substantially aligned longitudinally relative to the container and the container flooring board extends laterally between the sides of the container, and respective edges of adjacent container flooring boards abut one another.

An apparatus includes: an MDF portion including an upper surface, a lower surface, and a lateral surface between the upper and lower surfaces; a stress buffer including an upper surface and a lower surface; a glass portion including an upper surface and a lower surface; and a moisture-inhibiting portion that limits a flow of moisture into and out of the MDF portion through at least one of the lower surface or the lateral surface of the MDF portion.

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.

The present application discloses improved lignocellulosic composite materials comprising a lignocellulosic component, a bis-electrophile, and a polynucleophile. Exemplary embodiments comprise a dianhydride and a polyol.

A method of applying a protective film to a construction panel comprising: (a) selectively applying an adhesive composition to a peripheral region of a surface of the construction panel; and/or selectively applying an adhesive composition to a peripheral region of a surface of the protective film; and (b) applying a protective film to the surface of the construction panel to bond the protective film to the construction panel. A construction panel comprising a protective film layer on a surface of the panel and a peripheral adhesive composition layer located between said surface of the panel and the protective film layer, wherein the peripheral adhesive composition layer extends from an edge of the panel and across from about 0.1% to about 25% of the width of the surface.
