Paint processing plant as a wooden post set technology, its advantages and disadvantages of the use of a direct impact on the final results. Cost is the cost of the paint while the largest part of the wooden one.

Roughly divided into the type of paint phenolic paint, alkyd, polyurethane paint, lacquer, polyester and PU paint. which phenolic alkyd paint and texture of the film and the adhesion is poor, basically out in the decoration of the extensive use of the lacquer, polyester and PU for use on high-end furniture, paint.

Nitrocellulose as the construction is relatively simple, suitable for manual operation, done by most hand-decorated with wood, but the film is thin, feel good, not ideal. Polyester paint coating relatively thick, but diluent containing radon gas in the evaporation time, and the film hardness slightly weaker. Ideally, PU coating, PU coating with polyester paint in the film not only heavy, strong adhesion and good benefits of transparent layers, while its moisture sealing are made of wood has a very important role, PU paint hardness, durability, resistance to yellowing and environmental protection is unmatched by other paint.

Due to cost (lacquer 8-15 yuan / kg, polyester 18-28 yuan / kg, PU paint 43–65 yuan / kg), processing means and equipment, at present 90% of the packages on the market doors with polyester paint, a few manufacturers to adopt PU paint. In general, polyester and PU paint color to go through to find the three sides so the end of six processes, some brands and increase the curing process applied wax.

Therefore, the choice of wooden doors, the paint is one of the factors must be considered, which directly affects the texture, feel, moisture, environmental protection, durable, resistant to yellowing and other issues.

Why wooden doors easily deformed

Doors due to the use of wood processing, while surface area, and a fixed point, therefore, I is the most prone to deformation and cracking one of the decorative wood to do. the deformation of the wooden doors lead directly to housing insulation, airtight, and handsome, understanding the deformation of the wooden doors because the former has become particularly important decorative decorative knowledge.

Natural wood in the growth process a variety of factors, resulting in uneven wood density (sunny side, the ring of density, core material and sapwood), when the timber was changed after the stress away with the balance of wood deformation and cracking.

High moisture content of wood is the main reason leading to another door deformation, with the use of the process reduces the moisture content of wood will slowly reveal the internal stress, leading to deformation and cracking.

Primary means of preventing the deformation of wood is the use of machinery and techniques to change the stress of wood, and moisture content, internal stress change the most effective and commonly used method is the pine or fir (two smaller internal stress of wood) to finger . changes in moisture content of wood is a secondary drying (natural drying and then the steam drying). Doors in the process of production is good or bad, such as the press pressure, temperature and equilibrium level, glue and other factors will directly affect whether the doors in the course of deformation and cracking.

BRIBE-TAKING among Rio Tinto’s Shanghai iron ore executives was more extensive than previously thought and may have undermined the company’s revenue, court documents show.

Judge Liu Xin’s written verdict in the trial of Australian Stern Hu and three Chinese colleagues lays out in forensic detail how they sought, received and sometimes laundered huge personal gains.

The bribery trails raise new questions about Rio Tinto’s management oversight.

The judgment from the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court, which has not been publicly released but has been seen by The Age, also implicates company management in condoning what the court deemed to be commercial espionage.

It reveals email trails and conversations that show Stern Hu instructed his staff to obtain information and documents he believed to be ”very sensitive” and would have ”a direct impact” on the company’s marketing strategy.

Hu passed that information to unnamed ”superiors” who, on at least one occasion, asked for further confirmation.

The judgment is vague about the detail of all eight instances of commercial espionage for which Hu and his three colleagues were convicted.

But the discussion of bribery is damning. Huge sums of cash were stored in third party bank accounts – with the bribe-takers given cash cards – or directly handed over in dark green plastic shopping bags and cardboard boxes.

The cash transactions took place in hotels, airports, casinos, nightclubs and even a restaurant in the office tower where Rio Tinto has its Shanghai headquarters.

It says Hu demanded a ”30 per cent commission” – disguised as a ”consultancy agreement” – in return for giving a long-term contract to a Tangshan company via a Hong Kong agent.

Hu channelled that $US798,000 commission through a friend’s bank account in Hong Kong and another in mainland China before withdrawing $US300,000 and stashing it in a safety deposit box in his Shanghai home.

Ge Minqiang and Liu Caikui both rigged Rio Tinto’s spot market tendering processes in favour of those who bribed them.

”Before every bidding Liu Caikui informed [a Hong Kong agent] of the bottom line price and also pricing from the other companies” in return for hefty kickbacks, says the verdict. Similarly, Ge Minqiang received bribes worth more than 2 million yuan for helping to land contracts for Sinochem International – a state-owned trading company – after revealing Rio’s ”bottom line”, according to court evidence.

Liu received an Omega watch valued at 150,000 yuan while ”his colleague” received one valued at 80,000 yuan, said the verdict, without specifying whether or not that colleague was a fifth Rio Tinto bribe taker.

The court verdict details how two Chinese steel billionaires, Zhang Xiangqing (at RockCheck) and Du Shuanghua (Rizhao Steel), both gave bribes to Rio Tinto salesman Wang Yong and credited him for helping to build their empires. Investigators found 99 million yuan in Yong’s bank accounts.

All of the 20 bribery transactions detailed in the verdict are supported by testimony from the bribe givers, recipients and middle men, as well as bank and company accounts statements. Eight of those 20 transactions were completed in the month after the $US19.5 billion Chinalco-Rio Tinto collapsed on June 4 last year and the Rio Tinto executives were arrested on July 5, possibly when surveillance was at its height.

It raises questions as to whether other acts of bribery occurred that were not detected or prosecuted. Rio Tinto declined to comment yesterday.

The verdict says the four convicted salesmen agreed bribes were paid as alleged but argued over whether or not ”agency fees” charged by middlemen should be included as bribes received.

One agent involved in multiple dealings is Gao Bo, a consultant and high-profile steel consultancy called Mysteel. Industry sources say such ”introduction” businesses are commonplace and that Gao has kept his job.

Earlier, Rio Tinto chairman Jan du Plessis had said at the company’s annual general meeting in London that the ”charge” – rather than convictions – ”of commercial secrets is more difficult for me to comment on because that part of the trial was held behind closed doors”.
