Asbestos in bathroom lining?

Merry Christmas All!
Just wondering if anyone knows whether old bathroom linings that look like masonite with a glossy marble type coating could contain asbestos?
The age would likely be old enough.

Could be seratone, tempered hardboard with a gloss finish.

That's the word I was looking for to describe it!
So. any seratone type products known to contain asbestos?
Or am I good to start ripping this stuff apart with furry?

As far as I know it's just oil tempered hardboard with a gloss paint finish on one side.

If it is Hardieglaze from the 80s or before it will probably have some asbestos in it.

Knowing cats as i do, I am sure your furry will NOT be keen on helping you with this ripping apart

Have to agree, I think it would far prefer to rip apart something you cherish.
