Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wood composite panel, in particular an MDF-panel, comprises the following steps: a. providing and mixing soy flour and water in a weight ratio of about 10 to 45% to form a soy solution; b. introducing the soy solution to a high-pressure blow line containing wood fibers; c. introducing resin to the high-pressure blow line to form a soy solution wood fiber resin mixture; d. pre-drying the soy solution wood fiber resin mixture to form a pre-dried soy flour wood fiber resin mixture; and e. hot-pressing the pre-dried soy flour wood fiber resin mixture into the wood composite panel.

Abstract: A double belt press for the manufacturing of wood-based panels comprises two circumferential metallic forming belts, configured to press wood-based components between each other. Further the double belt press comprises two circumferential roller beds each comprising a plurality of parallel roller rods. Each forming belt is provided with one of the two circumferential roller beds, wherein the circumferential roller beds are each adapted to transfer pressure onto the respective forming belt. The double belt press further comprises at least one infeed shaft comprising a guide element with a cylindrical lateral surface that guides the plurality of parallel roller rods of one of the circumferential roller beds.

Abstract: A temperature controllable covering system comprises at least one heating and/or cooling element adapted for heating and/or cooling; a first covering panel comprising a first coupling edge extending at least partially along at least one edge of the first covering panel, and a second covering panel comprising a second coupling edge extending at least partially along at least one edge of the second covering panel. The first coupling edge and the second coupling edge are adapted to be coupled with each other. The first coupling edge and/or the second coupling edge comprise a receiving portion in which the at least one heating and/or cooling element is arrangeable. Further, in assembled condition, the at least one heating and/or cooling element at least partially extends along the at least one edge of the first covering panel and the at least one edge of the second covering panel.

Abstract: A temperature-curable aminoplastic adhesive resin that is a (poly)-condensate of: (i) at least one aminoplast-forming chemical; (ii) 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), its oligomers and/or its isomers; and, (iii) at the least one second (poly-)condensable chemical produced in the presence of an organic sulfonic acid. Composite boards, such as wood-based panels, can be produced using this adhesive resin. The production of the aminoplastic adhesive resins includes the reaction of urea with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and glyoxal in the presence of an organic sulfonic acid as a hardener. The adhesive resin can be used in the production of wood-based panels, such as, particleboards, chipboards, fiberboards and products usually called, among others, plywood and/or blockboards, in the presence of an organic sulfonic during curing.

Abstract: A panel with a detachable protruding lip for wall, ceiling or floor coverings is provided. Furthermore, methods are provided for manufacturing wall, ceiling or floor coverings comprising or consisting of a plurality of the panels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a panel as well as a method for producing a panel, in particular a wall- ceiling- or floor panel. The method according to the invention provides that a layer of liquid radiation curing acrylate with a low Martens hardness is applied on a support layer in a first step. This is followed by an application of an intermediate layer in a second step and thereafter the application of a further layer wet-on-wet, which as a Martens hardness after curing which is larger than the Martens hardness of the first applied layer. The resulting panel has an intermediate layer with an inhomogeneous hardness profile due to the wet-on-wet application which leads to particularly advantageous properties.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a mineral wool board, comprising the following steps: providing mineral wool fibers having a fiber length of 50 to 800 ?m; providing a binder comprising a mixture of liquid resin and mineral fillers having an average grain size d50 of 10 nm to 250 ?m; gluing the fibers with the binder, and compressing the glued fibers using heat and pressure.
