Abstract: According to various aspects of the instant disclosure, a multi-layer engineered wood product can include a first face layer, a second face layer, and a core layer disposed between the first face layer and the second face layer. At least one of the first face layer, the second face layer, and the core layer include a plurality of wood components and a reaction product of a binder reaction mixture dispersed about the plurality of wood components. The mixture of the wood components and binder reaction mixture has a moisture content in a range of 9 wt % to 20 wt %.

Abstract: According to various examples of the present disclosure, an engineered wood precursor mixture includes a plurality of wood substrates and a binder reaction mixture present in a range of from 3 parts to 25 parts per 100 parts of the dry weight of the plurality of wood substrates. The binder composition includes an aqueous portion. The aqueous portion includes a carbohydrate-containing component in a range of from 2 wt% to 85 wt% based on a dry weight of the binder reaction mixture. The carbohydrate-containing component includes glucose, fructose, or a mixture thereof. The combined wt% of glucose, fructose, or mixture thereof in the carbohydrate-containing component is at least 60 wt%. The aqueous portion further includes 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% sodium trimetaphosphate based on a dry weight of the binder reaction mixture.

Abstract: Starch compositions, including cationic crosslinked starches, and methods of using those starches in papermaking are disclosed. In particular, a cationized crosslinked starch and use of the starch in the wet end system of a paper machine is disclosed. The starch compositions of the disclosure are particularly adapted for customization for specific wet end systems, and allow for modification to correspond to variations in the wet end of the papermaking machine.
