Title: Innovations by Yasushi Sugio in Wood Laminate Materials
Introduction
Yasushi Sugio is a notable inventor based in Toyama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of wood laminate materials, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to enhancing the strength and water resistance of strand boards.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Wood laminate material and method for manufacturing same." This invention provides a strand board with improved strength and water resistance. The design prevents a reduction in productivity while allowing for the desired variation in characteristics of the strand board. The strand board is formed by stacking and laminating five strand layers, each composed of numerous strands. Notably, three of these layers are high-density strand layers, which possess a higher density than the other layers, while the remaining layers are low-density strand layers.
Another significant patent is the "Method for manufacturing high-density wood laminate material." This method enables the production of high-density strand boards using similar press pressures as those required for common density strand boards. This innovation allows for the creation of high-density strand boards without the need for specialized facilities or equipment. The manufacturing process includes a pretreatment process that involves various treatments, such as beating and chemical treatment, followed by pressing to achieve a density of 750 to 950 kg/m³.
