Description
A process for forming hardboards patented by Masonite Corporation in 1928 (see also Masonite®). In the wet process, wood fibers are broken apart and distributed with steam and water baths. The fibers are compressed on a screen then heated to form a very dense, rigid sheet. The natural Lignin from the wood fibers acts as a cement to give the board sufficient strength with no additional adhesives. Hardboards range from a dark brown to a light tan in color and have one very smooth surface; the reverse side has a wire screen impression.
