Mjukfiberboard

Mjukfiberboard, also known as softboard or fiberboard, is a type of engineered wood product manufactured from lignocellulosic fibers, typically wood chips or plant fibers. These fibers are broken down and then reformed into a panel by using a binder or by the inherent binding properties of the lignin present in the wood. The manufacturing process involves grinding the raw material into fibers, mixing them with binders like synthetic resins or starch, and then pressing them into sheets under heat and pressure.

Mjukfiberboard is characterized by its low density and relatively soft, fibrous texture. This makes it an excellent material for acoustic insulation and thermal insulation purposes. Its porous structure allows it to absorb sound waves, reducing reverberation and noise transmission. In terms of thermal performance, its trapped air pockets provide good insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

Due to its insulating properties, mjukfiberboard is commonly used in construction as an interior lining for walls and ceilings, particularly in applications where soundproofing or thermal efficiency is desired. It can also be found as a substrate for other finishing materials. The material is generally considered easy to cut and handle, contributing to its popularity in various building applications. While it offers good insulation, it is not typically used for structural purposes as it lacks the strength and rigidity of denser wood-based panels.
