Abstract
The following disclosure provides a structural mat for manufacturing a moldable structural hardboard body. The structural mat has a nucleated/coupled binder and a fibrous material. The nucleated/coupled binder material has a first binder material combined with a nucleating agent; and a second binder material combined with a coupling agent. The first binder material is combined with the nucleating agent to make a discrete nucleated/binder material. The second binder material is combined with the coupling agent to make a discrete coupled/binder material. The discrete nucleated/binder material and the discrete coupled/binder material are blended together. The fibrous material is blended with the discrete nucleated/binder material and the discrete coupled/binder material to form the structural mat.

A structural mat for manufacturing a moldable structural hardboard panel, the structural mat comprising:
- a first binder material combined with a nucleating agent;
- a second binder material combined with a coupling agent made separate from the combined first binder material and nucleating agent;
- wherein the first binder material combined with the nucleating agent forms a discrete nucleated/binder fiber material and the second binder material combined with the coupling agent forms a discrete coupled/binder fiber material;
- and
- wherein the discrete nucleated/binder material and the discrete coupled/binder material are combined together;
- and
- a fibrous material combined with the discrete nucleated/binder fiber material and the discrete coupled/binder fiber material, and formed into the structural mat.
