Masonite is a hardboard type, another type of engineered wood, made of steam-fed and pressurized wood fiber with patented pressure by William H. Mason. This product is also known as Quartboard , Isorel , hernit, karlit, torex, treetex, or pressboard.

History
A product that resembles masonite (hardboard) was first made in England in 1898 by a waste heat pressing paper. Masonite was patented in 1924 in Laurel, Mississippi, by William H. Mason, who was a friend and protà ©  © gÃÆ'  © inventor Thomas Edison. Mass production began in 1929. In the 1930s and 1940s, Masonite was used for many applications including doors, roofs, walls, desktops, and canoes. It is sometimes used to side with the house.
A similar "tempered hardboard" is now a generic product made by many forest product companies. The Masonite Corporation entered the door business as a facings supplier in 1972, and purchased in 2001 by Premdor Corporation, door maker, from its parent company, International Paper; it no longer supplies generic hardboard.

Production
Masonite is formed using the Mason method, where wood chips are destroyed by saturating them with 100-pound-per-square-inch (690 kPa) steam, then increasing vapor or air pressure up to 400 pounds per square inch (2,800 kPa) and suddenly releasing them through the hole to atmospheric pressure. Shaping fiber into a board on the screen, the board is then pressed and heated to form the finished product with a shiny finishing finish. (Then a dry process with two glazed surfaces is also used.) The original lignin in wood serves to bind fibers without additional adhesives. The long fibers give the Masonite high bending strength, tensile strength, density, and stability. Unlike other composite wood panels, no formaldehyde-based resins are used to bind fibers in Masonite.
Use
Artists often use it as support for painting, and in artistic media such as linocut printing. The smooth surface of the Masonite makes it a suitable material for table tennis and skateboard ramps.
Masonite is used by moving companies. Among others, they use it to protect the walls of the buildings where they work, and put them on the floor to allow the smooth roll of goods laden with goods.
Masonite is widely used in construction, especially in high-end renovations where floors are finished before other work and require protection. The 1 / 8 -or- 1 / 4 -inch (3.2 or 6.4 mm) Masonite is usually placed on red rosin paper on the finished floor to protect it. The Masonite sheets are affixed together with tape to prevent shifting and to keep the substance from leaking.
Masonite is also used extensively in construction sets for theater and film and television. It is very common in theaters as a matte black, painted stage.
It is also regarded as one of the best ingredients in the manufacture of rocking board music.
Masonite 4-by-8-foot (1.2 by 2.4 m) panels are sometimes purchased and sawed into 4-inch (100 mm) tall with 8-foot long strips. This 4-inch high strip is used by concrete workers to form the perimeter or outer edge of the sidewalk where the curved curb is desired when the concrete is poured into shape.
Masonite is also a popular choice for cake boards for professional cake decorators, as it becomes a natural product and powerful enough to support a variety of tiered creations, such as wedding cakes.
To a lesser extent, Masonite is used in the body of the guitar, especially by Danelectro.
Due to its low cost and flexibility, Masonite is widely used as a curved surfaces of skateboard ramps.
Masonite is also a popular protective supporter for wood stereo consoles and television cabinets, from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Due to its versatility, masonit is a common material used by railway model enthusiasts for their layout as a fascia, to help mask building materials used for layout.
Deterioration
Masonites swell and decompose over time when exposed to the elements, and can deteriorate prematurely when used as a side exterior. In 1996, International Paper (IP) lost a class action suit brought by a proprietor of a house in favor of the Masonite has deteriorated. The jury found that the IP Masonite side was damaged.
