Hardboard
FAZERLES produces hardboards (wood-based panels) type HB, according to EN 316:1993.
Hardboard is a type of fibreboard, it is an engineered wood product.
FAZERLES manufactures hardboard in a wet process. The wet process leaves one smooth side, and the other side is a mesh-pattern.
Hardboard is a strong product – it has high density (930-1050 kg/m3) and high bending strength (35-40 Mpa).
Hardboard is used in furniture, for boxes for fruits and vegetables, automotive and construction industry.
Manufacturing:
Chips – Fibres – Sheet forming – Pressing – Cut-to-sizes
We use technological wood, which goes through the chipping process.
Wooden chips pass through screening process for separation of barks and small wooden pieces.
The separated barks and small wooden pieces are used as a fuel in our wood-waste steam boiler.
The chips go into a defibrator (a pressure vessel), where they are treated with high-temperature steam, which permits separation of unbroken-whole fibers.
From the defibrator, the pulp enters into the wet-forming machine, which evenly distributes fibres into a mat with water. The mat is cut into large sheets for a multi-opening hot press, then is compressed by heat and high pressure. Hardboard panels undergo humidification, a process that adds moisture to prevent warping.
GREEN PRODUCT
Compared to other fiberboards, such as MDF, hardboard is characterized by the next properties:
– Higher Bending strength – about 35 – 40 MPa, and higher by customer’s request
– Higher Density – about 950 kg/m3
– Wood content – about 99%
– Less chemicals – about 1 % only
– Smell – natural wood
– Smooth surface
All these properties make hardboard a natural, very ecological product, that is why it is very suitable for home furniture, and crates and boxes for fruits and vegetables.
