Abstract
Disclosed is a hardboard with a smooth, highly-consolidated, dense surface and a method for making it. The method of this invention greatly reduces the need for surface sanding after molding because release from the molding caul is improved and results in a product having a surface more free of defects. According to a preferred embodiment, a dry mat of wood particles is sprayed with from 8 to 30 grams per square foot of a surface coating of a consolidating agent comprising from 50 to 95% water, from 4 to 25% ethylene glycol and from 1 to 25% polyvinyl acetate, prior to pressing at elevated temperature. These percentages are based on the weight of the consolidating agent. The preferred products will have at least one highly-consolidated, smooth surface layer which comprises from 0.5 to 4 grams of polyhydric alcohol and from 0.5 to 4 grams of polyvinyl acetate per square foot of surface.
