摘要:
The invention relates to a surface covering system, and, more specifically, to an improved linear surface covering system. The improvement includes each plank of the system having multi-directionally cut grooves. The improvement further includes clip projections which conform substantially to a notch formed by the multi-directional grooves. The system also includes an improved splice plate for stabilizing two adjacent planks positioned in end-to-end relation.
摘要:
A plywood laminate comprises a plurality of plies. The at least one edge configuration of the plywood laminate is selected from the group consisting of a tongue edge configuration and a groove configuration, the edge configuration including a projection. The thickness of the projection is greater than the thickness of each of the plies or the projection comprises portions of at least three plies.
摘要:
The methods for making a coated thin veneer, plank or wood product in which the coated surface does not crack due to instability of the wood involve applying to a veneer, plank or wood product a composition including a hydrophilic polymer and a reactive monomer or a composition including a reactive (meth)acrylate. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is a polyalkylene glycol, such as polyethylene glycol. The composition also advantageously includes a thermally activated free radical initiator, a photoinitiator or both. The veneer is further laminated into wood product boards that are cut down to planks. In another aspect of the current invention, several solvent based resins are roll coated onto the loose and/or tight side of the thin veneer or unfinished plank wood, dried to remove solvent, and exposed to UV radiation to cure the resinous material by radical initiation of the photoinitiator that leads to polymerization. Further polymerization of the resin material within the pores or voids occurs by heat induced initiation of the organic peroxides at the time of lamination in the case of veneer or by UV radiation exposure in the case of planks.
