Abstract: A method for providing container flooring for a container, including: providing a plurality of container flooring boards, each including a plurality of strand layers including strands of wood bonded together, at least a top strand layer and a bottom strand layer of the container flooring board having its strands substantially aligned in a first direction, and a dimension of the container flooring board in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction being selected to extend laterally between sides of the container in use; and arranging the container flooring boards inside the container, each container flooring board being positioned so that the strands of the top strand layer and the bottom strand layer are substantially aligned longitudinally relative to the container and the container flooring board extends laterally between the sides of the container, and respective edges of adjacent container flooring boards abut one another.

Abstract: A cross laminated strand product formed from a laminate of a plurality of layers, wherein each layer includes substantially aligned strands of wood bonded together with a binder including an isocyanate resin, and wherein the respective strands of adjacent layers are oriented substantially perpendicularly to one another.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hard wood strand product, comprising the steps of harvesting logs of eucalypts from plantation trees having an age between 8 years and 12 years, forming strands from the logs, adding a binder including a polymeric methane di-isocyanate resin and a wax to the strands, forming a mat with the strands, and pressing and heating the mat using a press to form the strand product.

Abstract: Resistance welding apparatus having a power driven welding head carrying a first welding electrode for co-operation with a second welding electrode, wherein the head is switched from a low-force approach operating mode to a high-force squeeze operating mode only when the welding electrodes electrically contact one another, either directly or through a workpiece therebetween, so that no gap exists in which an operator's hand or finger can be crushed between the electrodes upon transition from low-force to high-force operation.
