A New Hardboard

"Wcnderboard," a new hardboard that is obtained bv biending wood shavings, chips and ground wood with an artificial bonding agent, urea formaldehyde resin solution, by compressing the material in hot presses, rvill be marketed nation-wide under a program announced by the Wonderr'r'ood Corporation of Corona del Mar, Calif., at a two day conference in San Francisco on August 29 and 30.

The Bechtel Corporation, construction engineers, which is allied with the Wonderwood Corporation, has developed plans for the building of plants in the United States. The Irlaskon Division of Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co. has also supplied research assistance.

Fred Fahrni, an engineer of Zurich, Switzerland, developed the product from waste wood in 1940' Five plants are now producing the product under the name of Novopan in Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Belgium and Spain.

Wonderu'ood Corporation holds the exclrrsive rights to manufacture "Wonderboard" in the United States, Canada, South America, France, England and Italy, and negotiations are pending for other countries.

Particles contained in the board are so formed as to permit an interlacing which gives strength and yet is a sound and heat insulator. The hard surface of the board resists compression, is flexible, and permits working it into curved shapes for furniture.

It will be manufactured in standard 4 x 8' sheets, varying in thickness from tf" to ls/s", and will be made in plants u'ith one ton, two and one-half ton and five ton per hour production.

"\\ronderboard" is suitable for use in the manufacture of table tops, cupboards, u'ardrobes, rvalls, doors, cabinets, Iurniture, partitions, ceilings, facings, linings, and for interior decorations in halls, lounges, offices, cafes, restaurants, theatres, chapels and churches.
