Abstract: A coating formed on a substrate is provided which coating comprises (a) an organic NIR-transparent pigment and/or an inorganic NIR-reflective pigment; (b) a dye having a transmittance of at least 75% in the range of from 700 to 2500 nm; and (c) optionally an effect pigment; wherein said coating exhibits a total solar reflectance (TSR) of (i) ?40%, if 60<L*<100, or (ii) ?30%, if 30<L*?60, or (iii) ?20%, if 0<L*?30, wherein L* is the lightness. The coating is suitable for an exterior-use coating like an industrial coating or a coating for vehicles, especially an automotive finish, having improved jetness.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of bleached wood particles and a process for the production of pale to white wood-base materials which are produced from the bleached wood particles.

Abstract: Multilayered articles comprise (E) optionally at least one decor layer, (F) at least one substrate comprising cellulose fibers, (G) at least one metal-containing layer prepared by a process comprising the steps of (c) printing covering layer (D) with a printing formulation comprising at least one metal powder, (d) providing with at least one item generating or consuming electric current, (e) depositing at least one further metal, (H) optionally at least one covering layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of MDF or HDF for the production of a floor panel which comprises a core of MDF or HDF, a backing and, if appropriate, a protective layer, the decorative layer otherwise usual in the case of laminate floor coverings preferably being dispensed with. Furthermore, the present invention relates to floor panels which are produced with the use according to the invention of MDF or HDF, and floor coverings which comprise the floor panels according to the invention.

Abstract: Light-colored woodbase boards are manufactured from wood fiber bleached and colored with liquid colorant preparations comprising at least one pigment and at least one dye which absorbs in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract: Light to white wood-base boards which are produced from bleached wood fibers and/or beater dyed with a white pigment.

Abstract: A process for producing colored oriented strand board, which comprises the wood strands which serve as a base material for oriented strand board being contacted, before or after-drying, with a liquid colorant preparation, then conventionally resinated, and formed into three-layered mats and these three-layered mats being hot-pressed into board having a center layer and two outside layers.

Abstract: Process for producing semifinished products from sheet-like fiber structures and from binders, by first (i) treating a sheet-like fiber structure with a binder and, if appropriate, drying it to a moisture content of from 4 to 30% by weight, (ii) coating the surface of the resultant treated fiber structure on one or both sides with a curable binder, and (iii) drying the coated fiber structure to a residual moisture content of from 4 to 30% by weight, to give a semifinished product, and the resultant semifinished product, process for producing moldings via heating of the semifinished product to a temperature above the temperature at which the binders crosslink, and use of the moldings as internal parts for motor vehicles, as packing material, as single-use tableware, as office accessories, as trays, as decorative parts in the furniture industry, or else as inserts for closets, or drawers, or rear walls of furniture.
