What are the two types of hardboard?
HARDBOARD GRADES
Standard grade hardboard is a medium brown panel, smooth one side with a rough crosshatch pattern on the other. Tempered grade hardboard is impregnated under heat with linseed oil, making it tougher than Standard grade and rendering it more moisture resistant.Jun 8, 2018

What is tempered hardboard used for?
Hardboard is also used to make puzzles, game boards, and other toys. Tempered hardboard is hardboard that has been coated with a thin film of linseed oil and then baked; this gives it more water resistance, impact resistance, hardness, rigidity and tensile strength.
How do I know if my hardboard is tempered?

What is tempered hardboard?
Tempered hardboard, or high-density fiberboard, is an engineered wood board that, unlike particleboard, is made with ground-up wood fibers and held together with resins.
What is the common name for tempered hardboard?
Masonite is a type of hardboard, a kind of engineered wood, which is made of steam-cooked and pressure-molded wood fibers in a process patented by William H. Mason. It is also called Quartrboard, Isorel, hernit, karlit, torex, treetex, and pressboard.
Is tempered hardboard the same as MDF?
Hardboard is a fiberboard like MDF but it is made out of EXPLODED wood fibers! This allows it to be much denser and therefore much stronger than MDF.May 2, 2017
