What is this material, and where can it be purchased?

[Troberg]

I have bought some countertops from IKEA. They come packaged with protective boards that resemble masonite but are glossy on both sides. They are about 3 mm thick.

These boards are exactly what I would need in other contexts, but I don't know what they are called or who sells them. IKEA had no idea.

Does anyone know?

Could it be MDF?

Boardskiva or fiberboard 3mm

The board is rarely blank on both sides.

Could it be MDF?

No, it feels more like masonite, both in texture and weight. MDF also seems a bit too expensive to use as packaging material.

Someone at IKEA must know.

You're describing exactly the product we got from ceos. It was supposed to be 4 mm hdf but was closer to 3 mm, brown and super shiny.

There is masonite (board) that is shiny on both sides, I also receive it as packaging from Germany.
