Abstract: The present invention provides moldings of lignocellulose materials comprising based on the weight of the molding 5-20% by weight of glue resin, and 2-30% by weight of microcapsules comprising a polymer wall and a core composed predominantly of latent heat storage materials.

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: The invention relates to the use of liquid colouring preparations, containing at least one pigment and 0.5 to 10 wt. % of at least one dye, based on the pigment, for the decorative colouring of derived timber products.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated directional valve wherein the armature chambers are in communication with the source of working fluid via an inlet throttle and with the tank connection via an outlet throttle.

Abstract: An automatic sampling apparatus for particles suspended in liquid, which maintains particles in suspension by periodically directing and redirecting the liquid first down one branch of a manifold and then down another, and which selectively directs the liquid toward one or more of a plurality of filters, engaging in both operations under the direction of a programmable process controller. Liquid flow rate through the filters is metered, providing information regarding flow rate and volume to the process controller. A minimum of manual handling is required and user exposure to the sampling environment, which may be radioactive, is reduced.

Abstract: Wood preservatives containing a boric acid/alkylene oxide adduct, with alkylene of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and a process for protecting wood against fungi and insects with this agent.

Abstract: A fixed bed adsorption gas separation system wherein the use of a combination of temperature and pressure swing cycles together with a chromatographic separation step provides separation of gases with a minimum number of stages.

Abstract: Incorporation of wood protectants into materials produced by bonding wood particles and containing water repellents by blending the wood protectants with the water repellents.
