The veneer panel further includes a thermoset dry film adhesive located between the face layer and the backing layer and attaching the face layer to the backing layer.

Abstract: An assembly constituting an acoustically absorbent material and including a first panel, a second panel pierced with holes, an intermediate panel pierced with through-holes and arranged between the first panel and the second panel, a first structure between the first panel and the intermediate panel and including first cages, a second structure between the second panel and the intermediate panel and including second cages, and for each through-hole of the intermediate panel, a tube opening out at the two ends thereof, where one of the ends of the tube is fixed to the intermediate panel at the through-hole, and where the other end of the tube is accommodated inside a first cage. Such an assembly makes it possible to obtain broad-band attenuation and is easy to manufacture.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for making scored mediums, particularly but not exclusively for use in the corrugated board arts, and articles of manufacture and compositions made there with and made there by. When at least one scored medium is used in a layered or laminated article, and particularly when selectively used as a liner member and/or fluted member in a corrugated board, whether as part of a corrugated board article of manufacture or a laminate with at least one other member, the article will possess mechanical qualities superior to those that would otherwise exist if a non-scored medium was/were used. To achieve these desired qualities, a major axis of the scores formed in the scored medium runs askew, and preferably perpendicular, to the direction of beam strength in any article or article intermediate to which the scored medium is to be associated.

Abstract: A plank has a first portion with at least three layers. The first layer is of a plant material, and has an inner surface that includes a nonwoven fabric or a fiberglass mesh. The second layer is of an adhesive paper material that includes a macromolecular glue where the macromolecular glue is 50-55% melamine, 35-40% plasticizer, and 3-5% formaldehyde. The third layer is one of bamboo, wood, or paper. The plank has a second portion, which may be of a plastic composite base material or a magnesium oxide composite base material. When the second portion is of a plastic composite material, the first portion is fused to the second portion by cold pressing or a polyurethane reactive adhesive. When the second material is of a magnesium oxide composite base material, the first portion is thermally pressed to the second portion by cold pressing, hot pressing or a polyurethane reactive adhesive.
