HARD BOARD
HISTORY
A product resembling hardboard
was first made in England in 1898
by hot pressing waste paper.
These fibres are transformed into mats, which are held together
with lignum and other glues.
The mats are than pressed between steam-heated metal plates
to give grainless sheets with one smooth, glossy surface and one
textured surface.
To prevent warping, moisture is added in a humidification
chamber.
TYPES OF HARDBOARD
Standard hardboard is light brown in color and has a fairly hard, smooth
surface on one side and a screened impression on the other. It is flexible and
easy to bend. It is suitable for interior use only and where it is not subject to
moisture.
Panel hardboard is somewhat denser than the Standard but not as
dense as Tempered.
Dark in color
Slower growth rate
Higher density
Heavy in weight
More fire resistant than soft wood
Generally 4’ wide and 8’ long, though presses from 5’ x
16’ and larger exist. New technology 4’-8’ wide
Thickness can vary from as thin as 1/10” to as
thick as 7/16”.
Moisture content may vary between 2% and 9%, but
the variance may not be more than 3% within any one
shipment.
Applications Of Hardboard
Furniture manufacturing
Construction
Interior furnishings
Automotive industries
Packaging
Poster backing and panelling
Properties of Hardboard
The physical properties of any hardboard are primarily
dependent upon the wood furnished, the degree and
uniformity of defiberation, the ability to properly form the
wet mat at economical production speeds, the density to
which the mat can be consolidated in the hot press and the
degree of heat treatment after consolidation.
