WHAT DOES HARDBOARD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hardboard

Hardboard

Hardboard, also called high-density fiberboard, is a type of fiberboard, which is an engineered wood product. This product is also known under Isorel or Masonite brand names. It is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser and much stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibers that have been highly compressed. Consequently, the density of hardboard is 31 lbs or more per cubic foot and is usually about 50-65 lbs per cubic foot. It differs from particle board in that the bonding of the wood fibers requires no additional materials, although resin is often added. Unlike particle board, it will not split or crack. It is used in construction and furniture. Hardboard is produced in either a wet or dry process. The wet process, known as the Mason Method, leaves only one smooth side while the dry processed hardboard is smooth on both sides. Masonite is produced using the wet process only.

Definition of hardboard in the English dictionary

The definition of hardboard in the dictionary is a thin stiff sheet made of compressed sawdust and wood pulp bound together with plastic adhesive or resin under heat and pressure.
