    摘要: Systems for producing M yarns, wherein M≥1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a thermoplastic polymer having a color, hue, and/or dyability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces one yarn comprising at least one bundle of filaments. Each spin station comprises at least one spinneret through which filaments are spun from at least two molten thermoplastic polymer streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the spinneret for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in each M yarn.

    摘要: A flooring board having a plurality of layers may have a sufficiently high modified Janka hardness rating for use in general flooring applications. The flooring board may comprise a fiberboard core layer having a thin veneer layer of a natural wood species adhered to a surface of the core layer. The veneer layer may be a gymnosperm (softwood) or angiosperm (hardwood) having a low Janka hardness rating. Surprisingly, the flooring board has a high modified Janka hardness rating significantly higher than the Janka hardness rating of the natural wood species and sufficient for use in general flooring applications when the veneer layer is sufficiently thin.
