Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The instant system relates generally to systems, apparatuses and methods of manufacture in the construction arts and more specifically to creation of novel multi-use construction material which mimics the look of certain materials, but provides enhanced strength, maintenance and usage capabilities.

Description of the Related Art

Natural wood has been used in the construction of various products for both indoor and outdoor applications. Furniture, indoor cabinetry, flooring materials are typically made from wood. Because wood is a versatile product, it has versatile uses in society.

Natural wood is a highly desirable material, however wet conditions, expense, and environmental issues sometimes cause wood to be less desirable material to use especially for products that may be easily damaged because of the surrounding settings.

Therefore, faux wood has been developed using various synthetic polymers to mimic wood but be a more durable alternative. However, most faux wood products show a synthetic plastic look and are therefore less attractive compared to natural wood materials. Further, faux wood tends to lose the richness and desirable aesthetic features of natural wood.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL EMBODIMENTS

The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of presently preferred embodiments of the invention and does not represent the only forms in which the present invention may be constructed and/or utilized. The description sets forth the functions and the sequence of steps for constructing and operating the invention in connection with the illustrated embodiments.

Referring to the figures, FIG. 1 describes a Technical Overview that illustrates the instant Nextura or Nextura™ Line meets or exceeds IBC Requirements and Regulations for use in commercial and residential applications.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the Nextura™ Brand consists of a very high quality specific range of wood planking and associated materials, manufactured from a proprietary lightweight plastic formulation to replicate reclaimed wood. The Nextura™ line of products were developed to meet the need for a high quality sustainable product that looks and feels like natural wood, has all the positive attributes of natural wood, while at the same time overcoming the limitations of natural wood.

The Nextura™ Line can be used for interior and exterior wall claddings, ceilings, beam wraps, column wraps, back splashes, shower walls and much more.

The composite or polymer wood planking may be offered in a set line of textures, colors and dimensions, with the ability to offer the product in a virtually unlimited range of textures, sizes and quantities should the need arise for specific projects.

The instant system additionally possesses numerous Performance Advantages as the product can be milled, fastened and used in much the same fashion as natural reclaimed wood with the added benefit of seamless joints when required.

Moreover, the Nextura™ Line has been designed with customers and installation crews alike in mind as the system and materials comprise a construction that is simple to work. The product can be face screwed, glued, epoxy adhered, installed with hidden fastening systems or even pneumatically nailed.

Addressing the surface finishing aspects, all products under the Nextura™ Line come with a high end finish and the coloring process utilized involves the use of UV stable pigments for integral color throughout the board. In addition a hand applied topcoat provides an authentic look that is indistinguishable from natural wood. Our unique finishing techniques developed by our designers allow for the natural beauty of wood to show through by providing subtle differences from board to board. The result is the most realistic and durable look available on the market in the state of the art. Additionally, surface sealer may be applied by the end user should a high gloss finish be desirable.

The instant system further comprises a heavily filled low-density urethane casting resin and the cured plastic is lightweight and has a much lower density than other casting resin. The instant system features convenient 1A:1B volume mix ration and mixes easily (pre-mixing of parts A & B is necessary). Cured plastic is strong and can be carved, machined, drilled, sanded, etc. The instant system can be pigmented with SO-Strong® color tints prior to casting and finishing castings can be painted. And, because this product is low-density, it yields more plastic per pound/kg than other casting resins—thus the cost per casting is appreciably low.

The instant system can additionally be employed for a variety of art or industrial design related applications including reproducing sculpture, making fishing lures, prototype model making, casting doll heads and figures, etc.

Addressing processing recommendations, the below parameters may be utilized in order to ensure maximum material production and capabilities as follows:

Preparation—Store and use at room temperature (73°/23° C.). These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Environmental humidity should be as low as possible. Good room size ventilation is essential. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk.

Applying a Release Agent—A release agent is necessary to facilitate de-molding when spraying into or over most surfaces. Use a release agent made specifically for mold making (Universal Mold Release available from Smooth-On or your Smooth-On Distributor). A liberal coat of release agent should be applied onto all surfaces that will contact plastic. Most silicone rubber molds usually do not require a release agent. Using a release agent, however, will prolong the life of the mold.

One note of high import, the user should apply release agent to all surfaces that will contact rubber. To ensue thorough coverage, lightly brush the release agent with a soft brush over all surfaces of the model. Follow with a light mist coating and let the release agent dry for 15 minutes.

Mixing—Material is heavily filled and the filler will separate from the liquid during storage. When the user first opens containers, the user will see powder on top that must be thoroughly pre-mixed with liquid on the bottom. The user must stir both Part A & Part B well before using—Pre-mix both parts in their original containers before dispensing. After dispensing equal amounts of Parts A & B into mixing container and mix thoroughly.

Furthermore, the user should stir slowly and deliberately, ensuring to scrape the material from the sides and bottom of the mixing container several times to ensure proper formation, while being careful not to splash any low viscosity material out of container. The user should also be mindful that the material sets up quickly and thus no room exists for delay between mixing and pouring.

Next in line is the pouring process, wherein fumes may be visible as this product starts to “gel” and cure, will dissipate with adequate ventilation. Only use this product with room size ventilation and do not inhale/breath fumes. Casting will be extremely hot immediately following cure and may burn the skin. Let cool to room temperature before handling. For best results, pour your own mixture in a single sport at the lowest point of the containment field and let the mixture seek its level. This will help minimize air entrapment.

One important feature Shelf life of a product is reduced after opening. Remaining product should be used as soon as possible. Immediately replacing the lids on both containers after dispensing product will help prolong the shelf life of unused product. Dry Glass Blanket or some other functional equivalent will significantly prolong the shelf life of unused liquid urethane products.

The Curing Process comes next, and once again, fumes, which may be visible as this product starts to “gel” and cure will dissipate with adequate ventilation. Castings will be extremely hot immediately following cure and may burn the skin. Let cool to room temperature before handling. The material is readily for de-mold in about two hours depending on mass and mold configuration.

Following the Curing Process is naturally the post Curing Process. In Post curing a casting is not necessary but will increase physical properties and performance. The material should be allowed to cure for recommended cure time at room temperature followed by 4-6 hour at 150° F./65° C. Casting should be allowed to come to room temperature before handling.

Performance—Cured castings of the instant system are lightweight, rigid, and durable. They resist moisture, moderate heat, solvents, dilute acids, and can be machined, primed/painted or bonded to other surfaces (any release agent must be removed). If machining the cured material, wear dust mask or other apparatus to prevent inhalation of residual particles.

In numerous embodiments, the system may utilize constructions and materials such as a laminate with hemp board, cork board and Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) which is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much denser than particle board.

Furthermore, to provide a brief description of manufacturing process, the method steps may comprise the following:

• • 1. Raw Materials for our proprietary mix design are delivered and stocked.
  • 2. The Liquid resin materials are hooked up to a pump system.
  • 3. The pump system deliverers the liquid resin materials through hoses to a mixing nozzle.
  • 4. The mixing nozzle is located at the JB1000 Racking system and delivers the mixed materials to the shelves located on the racking system.
  • 5. The JB 1000 Racking system will be constructed per the figures attached herein.
  • 6. Prior to pouring the plastic mix material into the shelving molds the texture mats are set in place.
  • 7. Texture mats will be of different surface textures and sizes depending on the requirements.
  • 8. For surface color only, the required color pigment is brushed onto the texture mats prior to the liquid resin material being poured into the shelving molds.
  • 9. For integral color the color pigment is brushed onto the texture mats and also measured and mixed into the liquid resin material prior to the liquid resin material being poured into the shelving molds.
  • 10. The liquid resin material is poured into the shelving molds at ¼ inch thickness for our laminate material.
  • 11. For our ¾″ dimensional boards the liquid resin material is allowed to set up and then a backing mix of liquid resin material with filler is added on top to achieve a thickness of ¾ inch.
  • 12. After material has cured for approximately 2 hours, the user should remove the cured material from the shelving.
  • 13. The cured material undergoes QC checks and is sent down the line to shipping.
  • 14. The material is packaged and labeled for delivery to customers.

Moreover in one embodiment, creation of a Nextura™ Manufacturing Process Break Down. The creation of a Nextura™ synthetic wood board starts with the mold prep. Molds of different species and textures of wood are coated with a universal mold releasing agent. After the release agent is applied, artisans will color each mold individually using a mixture of mineral spirits and UV resistant urethane pigments. At this time parts A and B of our urethane plastic will be weighted out specific to the intended mold.

Once the color is brushed onto the molding surface, the user may mix urethane pigment color into our parts A and B of our urethane plastic. Once desired color is achieved, the user may mix parts A and B together for approximately one minute and pour the product into the mold, letting it flow against a pour plate to prevent any of the colors brushed in the mold from being washed of the mold surface due to a heavy pour.

Next, the user may fill the mold to the desired thickness (different for each mold texture) and then insert our backing while product is still wet to allow for a proper bond of the two products. Then the backer is clamped into place to make sure all air has been forced out and any excess urethane is squeezed out so the final product is at the desired thickness.

After 15 minutes, the user should unclamp and scrape any excess material from the mold frame and back of the backer while product is still not fully cured. After another 10 to 15 minutes the finished product is ready to be demolded to revile the final texture and coloring. Then the board gets a few passes through the saw to clean up the edges and bring board to final production size. After a final inspection the boards are packaged and reading for shipment.

Below is a list of Possible Backing Materials, including but not limited to the following:

Homasote

Hemp Board

MDF

PVC
