M.D.F. (MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD)

DESCRIPTION

FIBERBOARDS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM WOOD FIBERS BY A MECHANICAL REFINING DRY PROCESS CARRIED OUT AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. BONDED WITH SYNTHETIC RESINS WHICH POLYMERIZE UNDER PRESSURE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE RESULTING BOARD OFFERS IDEAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR ITS USE IN THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY.
PROPERTIES

HOMOGENEITY.– THE GOOD DISTRIBUTION OF FINE WOOD FIBERS THROUGHOUT THE BOARD MAKES ITS EDGES SUITABLE FOR MOULDING AND MACHINING, WHILE MAINTAINING A UNIFORM FINISH.

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY.– THE BOARDS USUALLY HAVE VERY GOOD DIMENSIONAL STABILITY, RESISTING HUMIDITY CHANGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

UNIFORM SURFACE.– ITS SMOOTH COMPACT AND HOMOGENOUS SURFACE ALLOWS ITS OVERLAY WITH VARNISH, LACQUER, PLYWOOD PVC, VENEER, IMPREGNATED PAPER, FOIL AND FINISH FOIL, PRINTS, ETC...

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.– HIGH SCREW AND STAPLE RETENTION STRENGTH BOTH IN SURFACE AND EDGES.

ADVANTAGES

THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF M.D.F. MAKES IT AN ESSENTIAL RAW MATERIAL FOR THE FURNITURE AND INTERIOR DECORATION INDUSTRY. WIDE RANGE OF MOULDING, COVERING AND FINISH POSSIBILITIES IMPLY AN IMPROVEMENT OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT, BETTER WORK RATIONALIZATION AND COST REDUCTIONS. THE AVAILABILITY OF BOARDS IN A WIDE RANGE OF SHEET SIZES AND THICKNESSES ALLOWS ECONOMICAL CUTTING OF THE COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF FURNITURE.

APPLICATIONS

WRAPPED M.D.F. MOULDINGS ARE NOW REPLACING SOLID WOOD PIECES IN FURNITURE AND BUILDING INDUSTRIES. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE PANEL DOOR FRAMES, DECORATIVE TRIM MIRROR SURROUNDS, FINGER PULLS, ARCHITRAVES, CORNICES AND SKIRTING. ALSO THE HIGH STRENGTH AND STABILITY OF M.D.F. MAKES IT IDEAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE AND OTHER TYPES OF CONTRACT FURNITURE SUBJECTED TO HEAVY DUTY USE.

M.D.F. MOISTURE RESISTANT (H)

IT IS MANUFACTURED BY UPGRADING THE NORMALLY USED UREA FORMALDEHYDE RESIN BINDER GIVING A HIGHER LEVEL OF STRENGTH RETENTION AND LESS SWELLING WHEN USED IN EXTREME INTERIOR CONDITIONS.
