The product 'fibreboard hard' also called hardboard is an engineered wood product in conformity with the standard EN 622-1. Hardboard is similar to medium density fibreboard but is denser much stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibres that have been highly compressed. Consequently the density of hardboard is usually about 800-1040 kg/m³. Typical thickness is in a range from 2.2-4.0 mm. It differs from MDF in that the bonding of the wood fibres usually requires no additional materials although resin is often added. Hard fibreboard is characterised by high dimensional stability. Hard fibreboard is produced in either the wet or dry process. The wet process leaves only one smooth side while the dry processed hardboard is smooth on both sides. Raw and lacquered hardboard panels are used e. g. for construction packaging furniture upholstery door skins toys automobile and caravan interiors. Hard fibreboard is also used for packaging of fruits vegetables and mineral water bottles. It is also used for specialized applications like perforated boards for moulding.
