HARDBOARD

HARDBOARD is made from wood fiber, which is extracted from chips and pulp. In the production process the pulp is exploded under pressure. Heat and steam is applied, leaving a fine, fluffy brown fiber. These fibers are transformed into mats, which are held together with lignin, naturally occurred from hardwood.

The mats are then pressed between steam-heated metal plates to give grain less sheets with one smooth gloss surface and one textured surface. To reduce warping or improve moisture resistance, moisture is added back in using a humidification process, where appropriate moisture content is a dded back to the board.

Features:

• Hardboard has many of the desirable esthetics character of wood, without the grain structure and knots found in natural wood products. Hardboard is an E0 product, no eyes/skin irritation for its wide range of application.

• Hardboard gives superior flexural strength and stiffness over a wide range of temperatures.

• Hardboard shows better dimensional stability than many plastic materials in typical vehicle compartment conditions.

• Hardboard provides a superb surface for painting, bonding, laminating and coating applications, and dielectric and vacuum- covering operations.

• Used in a sandwich construction with a low- density core, hardboard provides a strong, lightweight option for load bearing applications. Hardboard is a good choice for passenger area sound blocking applications. Combined with a sound absorption material, hardboard creates a first-rate acoustic package.
