Homasote is a brand name associated with the product generically known as cellulose-based fiber wall board, which is similar in composition to papier-mâché, made from recycled paper that is compressed under high temperature and pressure.

It is held together by the surface tension between the paper fibers, a process that is augmented by hydrogen bonding and the presence of a wax binder (2% volume).

[4] By 1925, car manufacturers switched to canvas tops and Agasote lost sales, so the company heavily promoted Homasote for its versatility and insulation properties.

Homasote is found in studio spaces and featured in many art institutions as a wall covering and doubling as a type of cork board.

[11] The Homasote base reduces the incidence of impact injuries such as shin splints caused by dancing on the concrete floor.
