Did masonite ever contain asbestos

Answer 1

Masonite, a type of hardboard made from wood fibers, was not typically manufactured with asbestos. However, some older building materials and products from the mid-20th century might have contained asbestos for fireproofing or insulation purposes, although this was not standard for Masonite itself. It’s essential to check specific product details or construction records if you have concerns about asbestos in older materials. Always consult with a professional for testing and removal if asbestos is suspected.
