  • Publication number: 20050046064
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a consolidated cellulosic article. A cellulosic mat is provided. A latex-free, foamed sealer comprising a thermosetting resin is applied to the mat. The foam covered mat is then positioned between upper and lower platens of a press. The foam covered cellulosic mat is compressed between the upper and lower platens using heat and pressure. The foam sealer is de-foaming during compression, forming a consolidated article having a sealer coat. The present invention also relates to a door having at least one door facing with the sealer coat.

  • Publication number: 20040234803
    Abstract: Multi-fiber composites consist of a combinant structure of cellulosic wood and/or non-wood or polymeric fibers which are mixed with non-fibrous materials and/or waste materials and processed to form Pseudo-Fiber™ natural fibers. They offer economic and environmental efficiencies to wood, non-wood papermaking, polymeric and other composite operations, including construction composites as in the making of concrete, etc. They also provide useful, multivarious functional fiber properties necessary or desired in the manufacture of, but not limited to, automotive, construction, disposable cups, packaging, food and non-food packaging; disposable hygiene products of diapers, feminine care, incontinence; disposable medical products of wound dressings, surgical gowns and drapes; personal care and filtration products.
