Abstract: A composite board is at least partially made of a nonwoven composite material. The nonwoven composite material includes bast fibers and/or glass fibers, plastic fibers, and between 10 and 75% weight of cured liquid based thermoset. Further, such composite board is used in all applications wherein Particle Board (PB), Medium and High Density Fibreboard (MDF & HDF), Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Plywood (PLW), and related materials are used, and in wall panels, separation panels, insulation panels, laminates, flooring, in particular laminate flooring, tiles, furniture, and related applications. In addition, a process for manufacturing a composite board includes mixing bast fibers and/or glass fibers with plastic fibers, thereby forming a fiber layer, and thermoforming the fiber layer into a nonwoven composite material layer. The thermoforming includes impregnating the fiber layer under vacuum conditions with liquid thermoset and heating.

Abstract: A composite board is made at least partially of a nonwoven composite material. The nonwoven composite material includes unraveled natural fibers and/or glass fibers, plastic fibers, and between 0 and 50% weight of thermoharder. Also, a process for manufacturing the composite board comprises mixing unraveled natural fibers and/or glass fibers with plastic fibers, and with less than 50% weight thermoharder, and thermoforming the mix into a nonwoven composite material layer. Further, the composite board is for use in all applications wherein Particle Board, Medium and High Density Fibreboard, Oriented Strand Board, Laminated Veneer Lumber, Plywood and related materials are used, and in wall panels, separation panels, insulation panels, laminates, flooring, in particular laminate flooring, tiles, furniture, and related applications.
