Properties:
Properties:
Hardboard is made of sawmill or forestry remainders. Using steam and heat, the wood is mechanically broken down into fibres.
Wet manufacturing process (The Mason Method ) The pulp is pressed into panels under high pressure. The natural wood resin serves as an adhesive.
In the dry production process - The fibres are first dried and then pressed together using additional resin adhesives to form a panel.
high density and high strength
Hardboard cannot be used outside because it absorbs water
stable form, light weight, resilience and low cost.
The panel has a dark brown colouring.
homogeneous with no grain

Interior furnishings
Automotive industries
Packaging
Poster backing and panelling
flooring, cladding, fencing, boats and outdoor decks.
Hardwood can be used for indoor or outdoor application.
Sustainability:
Sustainability:
Hardboard is sometimes just compressed wood fibres when processed using the mason method – that can be composted. However sometimes it includes resin as a binding agent.
Hardboard has become less popular in the construction industry in recent years due to new environmental targets[10] to procure more sustainable temporary protection materials.
