average length of about 2 to 6 inches and average width of about 0 25 to 3 inches and an average thickness of about 0 005 to about 0 05 inches strands which are about 1 5 inches wide and 12 inches long can be used to make laminated strand lumber while strands about 0 12 inches thick and 9 8 inches long can be used to make parallel strand lumber the lignocellulosic particles can be further milled prior to use in the process of the invention if such is desired to produce a size more suitable for producing the desired article for example hammer wing beater and toothed disk mills may be used in the subject invention the lignocellulosic particles are present in an amount of from about 75 to 99 5 parts by dry weight based on 100 parts by weight of the composite material preferably from about 80 to 99 5 parts by dry weight based on 100 parts by weight of the composite material and most preferably 85 to 99 5 parts by dry weight based on 100 parts by weight of the composite material the binder resin includes a polyisocyanate and at least one of an insecticide and a fungicide the binder resin is present in an amount of from 0 5 to 25 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the composite material whereby the remainder is the lignocellulosic particles however it is to be appreciated that other additives may be.
