Abstract: The invention relates to a fiber composite material, particularly for installation in skis or snowboards. Said fiber composite material is made of a maximum possible percentage of wood fibers, which are present cross-linked among each other in the form of mats with or without preferred orientation of the fibers, and in which the thermosetting or elastomer plastics are introduced. Due a definably high and particularly uniform wood fiber density of the mats, a homogeneous material having uniform mechanical properties is achieved, which however can also be modified in a targeted manner in various locations in the core.

Abstract: This invention involves a method for applying adhesive to the narrow side of thin, film-type workpieces, in particular veneer strips or sheets, wherein the workpiece and at least one nozzle dispensing the adhesive substantially perpendicular to the narrow side of the workpiece are guided at a short distance from each other, characterized in that the adhesive is dispensed by the nozzle in the form of dosed droplets.
