A fibreboard (4) formed by dry forming of a fibrous tissue (2) in a forming box (6) with subsequent heat treatment in an oven, wherein the fibres are selected from synthetic fibres, natural fibres or a mixture thereof, and wherein the fibreboard (4) is provided with rupture zones (30). The invention also relates to a forming box (6) for use in the manufacture of fibreboards (4), wherein the forming box (6) is arranged above a forming wire (14) which extends across a vacuum box (20). The object of the invention is to introduce rupture zones (30) in fibreboards (4) which are formed directly in the forming process, and that the gap (36) of the rupture zone is formed without the use of cutting tools. Hereby, fibreboards (4) can easily be adapted in width and length without the use of tools, while separation of the fibreboard (4) provides a regular rupture face ensuring that no thermal bridge is created at joints. The forming box (6) may be provided with vertical partitions (12) longitudinally of the forming wire (4) and sets of vertical partitions (13) transversely to the forming wire (14). The purpose of the partitions (12, 13) is to enable production of fibreboards (4) with incorporated rupture zones (30) or fibreboards (4) in independent webs/sections (58, 60).
A fibreboard formed of a fibrous tissue by dry forming in a forming box and with subsequent fixing of fibres by heat treatment in an oven, the fibres are selected from synthetic fibres, natural fibres or a mixture thereof, the fibreboard is comprised of at least one layer of said fibres, the thickness of the fibreboard and the density are adaptable, and the fibreboard has rupture zones perpendicular to the surface of the fibreboard, the rupture zones extend in at least one direction, the rupture zones are comprised of a rupture zone gap having a height of between 10% and 100% of the thickness of the fiberboard, the forming of the fibreboard of a fibrous tissue by dry forming directly provides rupture zones which do not have through-going fibres in the gap of the rupture zone, thereby forming a rupture zone gap without the use of cutting tools, the rupture zone gap further including two sides being bonded to each other to close the gap.
