It's a type of fibre board made from the dregs of the pulp mill process and is composed mainly of bark and other by-prodeucts that are finely ground. It comes in a deep brown colour (Bark mulch) and is normally 3/16ths" in thickness. It can also come with small holes in it spaced at 1 inch intervals and is refered to as peg board which is used for hanging pegs in it so people can hang tools and other things in it. <br />It is a dense medium with less strength than plywood of similiar thickness. <br /> <br />Uses: I've seen it used on ships decks during refits to protect vinyl and other flooring materials. I've used it for a work bench cover as it is cheap and can be easily replaced. Iv'e seen it used as valences as it is relatively pliable but will snap with little or no warning. Also found as a backing material on inexpensive furniture.
