Provided is a method for determining the adhesive penetration into at least one porous coating material which is pressed with at least one carrier plate and at least one adhesive layer arranged on the carrier plate. The adhesive penetrates or rises into the at least one porous coating material during the pressing process.

Provided is a method for determining the resin penetration into at least one porous coating material which is pressed with at least one carrier board and at least one resin layer arranged on the carrier board. During the pressing process the resin penetrates or rises into the at least one porous coating material.

Provided is a method for the simultaneous determination of parameters, in particular, of at least two, three, or four parameters, of at least one resin layer applied to at least one carrier material by recording and evaluating at least one Near Infra Red (NIR) spectrum in a wavelength range between 500 nm and 2500 nm, preferably between 700 nm and 2000 nm, more preferably between 900 nm and 1700 nm, and particularly advantageously between 1450 nm and 1550 nm, using at least one NIR measuring head, in particular at least one NIR multimeter head.

A method for determining the amount of at least one biodegradable powdery binder in a mixture with wood particles. The method comprises the steps of: providing mixtures of at least one powdery binder and wood particles as reference samples, wherein the at least one powdery binder and wood particles are present in the mixtures in quantitatively defined mixing ratios in each case, recording of at least one NIR spectrum of the reference samples, providing a mixture to be measured consisting of at least one powdery binder and wood particles, recording of at least one NIR spectrum of the mixture of the at least one powdery binder with wood particles, and determining the quantitative amount of powdery binder in the mixture of powdery binder and wood particles by comparison with the NIR spectra recorded for the reference samples.

A method for producing a veneered board having a veneer and a carrier board, to provide a veneered board having improved use properties. The method includes: providing a veneer having an upper face and a lower face, applying an additive onto the lower face of the veneer, applying a binder onto the lower face of the veneer, heating the binder, producing a stack of materials to be pressed, having a carrier board and a veneer provided with an additive and a binder on its lower face, wherein the lower face of the veneer lies on the carrier board, pressing the stack of materials to be pressed in order to form a veneered board.

Provided is a method for determining the resin penetration into at least one porous coating material which is pressed with at least one carrier board and at least one resin layer arranged on the carrier board. During the pressing process the resin penetrates or rises into the at least one porous coating material.

Provided is a method for the simultaneous determination of parameters, in particular of at least two, three or four parameters, of at least one resin layer applied to at least one carrier material by recording and evaluating at least one NIR spectrum in a wavelength range between 500 nm and 2500 nm, preferably between 700 nm and 2000 nm, more preferably between 900 nm and 1700 nm, and particularly advantageously between 1450 nm and 1550 nm, using at least one NIR measuring head, in particular at least one NIR multimeter head.

The invention relates to a method for producing a wooden material having a supporting plate and at least one first, non-external veneer and a second veneer on a first surface of the supporting plate, wherein the supporting plate, the first and the at least second veneer are connected to one another by synthetic resin. In order to create a cost-effective wooden material board with a veneered surface, a liquid synthetic resin is applied, in excess, in relation to the quantity required for gluing purposes, to the supporting plate and/or to the first veneer and/or the at least second veneer, the synthetic resin applied in excess is dried but not cured, a stack of material to be pressed comprising the supporting plate, the first, non-external veneer and the at least second veneer is assembled, and the stack of material to be pressed is compressed in a high-pressure press to form a wooden material.

A method for producing a veneered board having a veneer and a carrier board having improved use properties includes the steps of providing a veneer and a carrier board, providing a sheet of paper impregnated with binder, the sheet of paper being arranged in a stack of materials to be pressed between an upper face of the carrier board and a lower face of the veneer, and pressing the stack of materials to be pressed. The sheet of paper is impregnated with a binder, the sheet of paper impregnated with binder is pre-dried so that it is still sticky, at least one additive is applied onto the pre-dried, still sticky binder, and the sheet of paper which is impregnated with binder and provided with an additive is dried to a residual moisture content of up to 8%.

Provided is a hard floor panel having a top side and a bottom side and having side edges along the panel sides for floating installation to form a floor panel composite. At least two floor panels are joined together in each case, the opposite side edges being provided with tongue-and-groove profiles, a tongue and a joining surface is provided in a first side edge and a groove and a joining surface is provided in a second opposite side edge. The tongue of the first side edge has an upper side and a lower side. A projection with a contact surface is provided on the lower side of the tongue. The joining surface of the first side edge extends from the upper side of the floor panel towards the upper tongue side and the joining surface is beveled.
