Abstract

Reshapable composite material and/or articles formed from lignocellulose-containing materials and having improved strength and water resistance characteristics are made by applying about 7 to about 100 weight % of a polyisocyanate resin to fibers and/or fiber bundles of a lignocellulose-containing material. The resulting mixture or furnish is compression molded to form a composite material and/or article of the desired shape and dimensions.
