  • Publication number: 20220080769
    Abstract: A method for producing an abrasion-resistant wood-based panel with a top side and a bottom side. At least one decorative layer, in particular as a printed decoration, is provided on the top side. The method includes applying at least one first resin layer to the at least one decorative layer on the top side of the wood-based panel, uniformly scattering abrasion-resistant particles onto the first resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel. The first resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel provided with the abrasion-resistant particles is not dried after application. The method also includes applying at least one second resin layer to the first, moist resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles on the top side of the wood-based panel, and then drying the assembly of first resin layer and second resin layer on the top side of the wood-based panel in at least one drying apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9958382
    Abstract: A method for determining the abrasion resistance of at least one wear layer arranged on a carrier plate, including: capturing at least one NIR spectrum of the wear layer arranged on the at least one carrier plate using at least one NIR detector and determining the abrasion resistance of the at least one wear layer by comparing the NIR spectrum for the abrasion resistance that is to be determined with at least one NIR spectrum ascertained for at least one reference sample by multivariant data analysis (MDA).

  • Patent number: 9759653
    Abstract: A method for determining the moisture content of at least one resin layer provided on at least one wooden board as carrier board, wherein between the at least one resin layer and the carrier board an NIR reflecting layer is provided, including recording of at least one NIR spectrum of the at least one resin layer provided on the at least one carrier board using a NIR detector in a wavelength range between 500 nm an 2500 nm; determining the moisture content of the resin layer by comparing the NIR spectrum recorded for the resin layer to be measured with at least one NIR spectrum recorded for at least one reference sample with known moisture content by means of a multivariate data analysis, wherein the at least one NIR spectrum recorded was determined previously using the same NIR detector in a wavelength range between 500 nm and 2500 nm.
