    摘要: An integrated self-sealing joint sealing system that is incorporated into the factory edges of a sheathing panel prior to installation at a job site, eliminating the need to secondarily apply tapes or similar fluid-applied sealants, as the joints will become sealed when mated and installed next to adjacent sheathing panels. The system works with a variety of joint types, including, but not limited to, bead-and-cove joints, cove-and-cove, and cove-and-butt joints, with matching corresponding joint profiles along panel edges. A compressible sealant, adhesive or gasket material is applied to surfaces in one or both profiles at the factory during the manufacturing process. During field installation, the matching corresponding joint profiles are placed together so the sealant material is compressed, forming a complete watertight and airtight joint.

    摘要: A multi-layer panel for use as structural sheathing with a coating that is both fire resistant and water resistant. The multi-layer panel may be a wood structural panel, such as OSB or plywood. The coating provides building-code-compliant fire resistance characteristics. The coating also acts as a water resistant barrier (WRB) layer on a surface of the panel. The joint fire-resistant and water-resistant barrier (FR/WRB) coating may be applied to one or both faces of the panel at the manufacturing facility, prior to shipping or installation at a job site. The coating may also be applied to panel edges.

    摘要: A method and system for removing material build-up, including, but not limited to, boric acid or boric acid-based material, on a press platen. A thermosetting resin is deposited on the upper surface of a manufactured wood chip or strand mat, which is then subjected to heat and pressure in a press. During pressing, the build-up material on the press platen(s) will soften and/or melt, and will adhere to the to thermosetting resin on the top of the mat. After pressing, as the formed panels are removed from the press, the boric acid build-up adhering to the thermosetting resin is pulled off the press platens and is removed with the formed panels. The panels with the buildup may then be processed for appropriate uses or dispositions.

    摘要: An improved wood or engineered wood substrate panel, with one edge of each panel forming a first joint element and the opposing edge forming a complementary second joint element, wherein the first joint element from one panel is configured to mate and form a joint with the second joint element on an adjacent panel. Each panel is provided with complementary sealants or adhesives pre-installed on each joint element, so that the first joint element is joined with the second joint element to form the joint, an adhesive bond is automatically formed by the sealants on contact, or shortly thereafter, and no adhesive need be applied during installation.

    摘要: A method or process for a wood adhesive system comprising polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) in combination with a functionalized oil. The wood adhesive system may be used in the manufacturing of engineered wood products, such as oriented-strand board, which typically are produced by various primary, and sometimes secondary, pressing processes. This combination provides an adhesive with reduced usage of pMDI while maintaining adhesive performance. The functionalized oil may be a modified vegetable oil, including, but not limited to, a soy oil chemically modified to incorporate hydroxyl groups, or amine groups, to its molecular chains.
