Panel containing bamboo and cedar

Abstract

Disclosed is a strand composite board comprising: lignocellulosic strands containing about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % bamboo strands, about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % cedar strands, and an isocyante binder resin.

1 . A strand composite board comprising: 
 lignocellulosic strands containing about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % bamboo strands, about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % cedar strands, and    an isocyante binder resin.    
   
   
       2 . The strand composite board according to  claim 1 , wherein the isocyante binder resin is MDI.  
   
   
       3 . The strand composite board according to  claim 1 , wherein the strand composite board is OSB.  
   
   
       4 . The strand composite board according to  claim 1 , wherein the isocyante binder resin is MDI, and the MDI is present at a concentration of about 2 wt % to about 12 wt % (based on the weight of the lignocellulosic strands).  
   
   
       5 . A strand composite board having an upper surface, a lower surface and a core layer, the upper surface and lower surface of lignocellulosic strands substantially oriented in a first direction and the core layer lignocellulosic strands oriented in a second direction, wherein the first direction is substantially different from the second direction; and wherein the lignocellulosic strands contain about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % bamboo strands, and about 25 wt % to about 75 wt % cedar strands, and wherein the strand composite board further comprises an isocyante binder resin.  
   
   
       6 . The strand composite board according to  claim 5 , wherein the isocyante binder resin is MDI.  
   
   
       7 . The strand composite board according to  claim 5 , wherein the isocyante binder resin is MDI, and the MDI is present at a concentration of about 2 wt % to about 12 wt % (based on the weight of the lignocellulosic strands).
