Willow Bark Willows all have abundant watery bark sap, which is heavily charged with salicylic acid, soft, usually pliant, tough wood, slender branches, and large, fibrous, often stoloniferous roots. The roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to life, and roots readily grow from aerial parts of the plant. Leaves are simple, feather-veined, and typically linear-lanceolate. In color, the leaves show a great variety of greens, ranging from yellowish to bluish.
Wedding Dress A sculptural oversized wedding dress in plated tulle photographed by Regina Relang in 1950 for French Vouge magazine. The dress is worn by the famous American model Jean Patchett. Regina Reland was a self taught photographer from Munich, Germany. She began working for Vogue in 1938, and became one of the leading fashion photographers in the fifties and sixties.
Melamine Melamine resin or melamine formaldehyde is a hard, thermosetting plastic material made from melamine and formaldehyde by polymerization. It is then used to cross-link with alkyd, epoxy, acrylic, and polyester resins and used in surface coatings. There are many types, varying from very slow to very fast curing. It was initially discovered by William F. Talbot. Melamine resin is the main constituent of high-pressure laminates, such as Formica and Arborite, and of laminate flooring. Melamine-resin tile wall panels can also be used as whiteboards.
Chevron A chevron is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags. The chevron occurs in early art including designs on pottery and rock carvings. Examples can be found approximately 1800 BC in archaeological recovery of pottery designs from the palace of Knossos on Crete in the modern day country of Greece.
Pine wood Pines are native to most of the Northern Hemisphere, and have been introduced throughout most temperate and subtropical regions of the world, where they are grown as timber and cultivated as ornamental plants in parks and gardens. The bark of most pines is thick and scaly. The branches are produced in regular "pseudo whorls", actually a very tight spiral but appearing like a ring of branches arising from the same point. Cone scales are arranged in Fibonacci number ratios.

The panels obtained are then put through cutting, sanding and test stages then it is stored in the warehouse as a final product awaiting delivery.
Decorative Paper Rolls
This machine produces decorative paper. which is gives the laminate its unique and realistic look.
High-pressure laminate consists of several layers of core and decorative paper. The paper layers are impregnated with phenol and melamine resins and then compressed under heat.
During the pressing stage, the product is inserted between two steel sheets that determine the final result of the HPL sheet, the combination of pressure (≼ 5 MPa) and temperature (≼ 120°C) are used to obtain the polycondensation of the thermosetting resin within the sheets.
