A process for the preparation of a a molded door panel made of wood composite material, resulting therefrom of door panel, and thus produced door

摘要

A method of manufacturing a door skin (16) includes the steps of providing a wood composite flat blank (10). The blank (10) is placed between the platens of a heated press, the platens being heated to a temperature sufficient to soften the resins in the blank (10) and to thereby soften the blank (10). Sufficient pressure is applied to close the platens and thereafter the pressure is cyclically applied to increase pressure levels for thereby causing the blank (10) to be deformed into a molded shape determined by the configuration of the platens. The molded blank (10) is then removed from between the platens.
