Abstract

There are various types of fiberboard1, and unfortunately the terminology is not yet internationally standardized. Neverthelesss, one fundamental definition generally is recognized (FAO, 1958/1959, p. 4): “Fiberboard is a board generic term encompassing sheet materials of widely varying densities manufactured from refined or partially refined wood fibres or other vegetable fibres. Bonding agents and other materials may be incorporated in the manufacture of the board to increase strength, resistance to moisture, fire or decay or to improve some other property.” In the technical sense the ISO-definition is more precise:

“Sheet material generally exceeding 1.5 mm in thickness, manufactured from ligno-cellulosic fibers with the primary bond from the felting of the fibers and their inherent adhesive properties. Bonding materials and/or additives may be added”.
