Abstract: A three-ply product includes a particleboard core assembled with a patterned vulcanized fibre sheet or layer on each surface. One of the vulcanized fibre sheets may have a preprinted decorative pattern provided thereon. The other vulcanized fibre sheet may also be decorative, or merely a plain sheet of vulcanized fibre. The product is useful for woodworking applications, and may be processed (i.e., stained, sanded, lacquered, etc.) like a natural wood product. Unlike prior vulcanized fibre processes, the process of making the vulcanized fibre sheets preprints a pattern, in a preprinting process, on the top sheets of cellulose paper plies.

Abstract: Crossbanding of veneered or laminated panels with vulcanized fiber sheets that can be of multiple thin plies vulcanized together and colored. The finished vulcanized fiber crossband sheets have both surfaces coated with adhesive adherently dried in place so that they can be very simply assembled with the remaining panel constituents and hot pressed to produce desired panel.
