Hardboard Fabricators

Search for information on hardboard fabricators in Australia under this Yellow™ heading. Hardboard, also called high-density fibreboard, is a type of fibreboard, which is an engineered wood product. It is similar to particleboard and medium-density fibreboard, but is denser and much stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibres that have been highly compressed. It has a wide variety of uses and thus is a commodity which is in constant demand. Yellow™ simplifies your search for hardboard fabricators in all states in Australia.

There are three basic types of hardboard are available - standard, medium and oil-tempered. Oil tempered boards are impregnated with oil making them stiffer, harder and more resistant to scratches and moisture. A number of special hardboards are available for specific purposes. These may have embossed, perforated, plastic-faced or veneer surfaces.

Hardboards are a cheaper option than plywood where strength is not required. Hardboard made from wood fibre is extracted from chips and pulped wood waste. In the production process the pulp is exploded under pressure. Heat and steam is applied to leave fine, fluffy brown fibres. These fibres are transformed into mats, which are held together with lignum and other glues. The mats are then 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. Yellow™ can help you find a wide range of hardboard fabricators in all states of Australia.
