Wet-process fiberboards can be made in a range of densities. At one end is the low-density insulation board panel that requires some 15 % of a binder, usually starch, to reach a useful level of strength properties. In the middle are the medium-density fiberboards (around 0.7 relative density) that require about 8-10% resin ....At the high end of the density scale are the wet-process hardboards (strictly speaking, hard-pressed fiberboards) that use as little as 0.5 % of an added phenol-formaldehyde resin binder. 1, record 2, English, - hard%2Dpressed%20fiberboard

fiberboard; fibreboard: A sheet of material made from fibers of wood or other lignocellulosic material and manufactured by an interfelting of the fibers followed by compacting between rools or in a platen press .... [They] are classified according to their density and their method of manufacture. 5, record 2, English, - hard%2Dpressed%20fiberboard

Les panneaux de fibres (...) sont fabriqués à partir de bois réduit en fibres, sous une forme pâteuse qui rappelle la pâte à papier. Ils sont rendus cohérents grâce à la liaison naturelle des fibres sous l’influence de l’humidité, de la pression et de la chaleur. 2, record 2, French, - panneau%20de%20fibres%20dur%20produit%20par%20voie%20humide

La résistance mécanique du panneau de fibres produit par voie humide dépend en grande partie de l'adhésion des fibres les unes aux autres par les phénomènes physico-chimiques(analogues à ceux du papier) qui se produisent lors de l'évaporation de l'eau(...) Les panneaux de fibres fabriqués par voie humide peuvent être plus ou moins denses. Au bas de la gamme se trouve le panneau isolant à faible densité qui nécessite environ 15 % de liant, habituellement de l'amidon, pour atteindre un niveau de résistance mécanique acceptable(...) Au centre de cette gamme se trouvent les panneaux de fibres de densité moyenne(environ 0, 7) qui nécessitent 8 à 10 % de liant(...) A l'extrémité supérieure se situent les panneaux de fibres durs produits par voie humide(à proprement parler, panneaux de fibres densifiés) contenant aussi peu que 0, 5 % de liant phénolique. 1, record 2, French, - panneau%20de%20fibres%20dur%20produit%20par%20voie%20humide
