The sound damping wallboard includes a gypsum layer having a gypsum layer inner surface and a gypsum layer outer surface, a first sound damping layer disposed at the gypsum layer inner surface and having a first sound damping layer inner surface opposite the gypsum layer inner surface, a first encasing layer disposed at the gypsum layer outer surface, a second encasing layer disposed at the first sound damping layer inner surface, and a second sound damping layer disposed at the second encasing layer opposite the first sound damping layer inner surface.

A wood-based panel includes at least one carrier board and at least one resin layer disposed side of the board. The at least one resin layer includes carbon-based particles, at least one compound of the formula R.sup.1.sub.aR.sup.2.sub.bSiX.sub.(4-a-b), and/or hydrolysis products. X is H, OH, or a hydrolysable moiety selected from the group including halogen, alkoxy, carboxyl, amino, monoalkylamino or dialkylamino, aryloxy, acyloxy, and alkylcarbonyl. R.sup.1 is an organic residue selected from the group including alkyl, aryl, and cycloalkyl, which may be interrupted by —O— or —NH—. R.sup.1 has at least one functional group Q.sub.1 selected from a group containing a hydroxy-, amino, monoalkylamino, carboxy, mercapto, alkoxy, aldehyde, acrylic, acryloxy, methacrylic, methacryloxy, cyano, isocyano and epoxide group, R.sup.2 is a non-hydrolyzable organic moiety selected from the group including alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, and cycloalkenyl; A is 0, 1, 2, or 3. B is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

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.
