What Is a Compact Panel and Where Is It Used?
Catching the eye of the industry by offering a next-generation wood panel solution, the compact panel is an ideal option for many projects and application areas thanks to its functional features and advantages. The compact panel that is preferred in shared living spaces used by many people stands out with its advantages.
What Is a Compact Panel?
Panels with a high density of ≥1000 kg/m3 are called compact panels. The high level of durability gives the boards exceptional resistance to external factors, such as abrasion, impact and water. Thanks to its durability, it lasts much longer than traditional MDF panels. Additionally, the high density enabled by the structure of compact panel boards allows for increased mechanical and physical resistance. This makes the panels much more resistant to wear and tear. Thanks to its relevant properties, this panel is recognized for its ability to deliver excellent protection against various weather conditions and harsh environmental conditions.
Homogeneous Black Fiber Distribution
The homogeneous black fiber distribution in a compact panel enables the product to be designed without using any edge banding. So, it can be easily machined in woodworking machines such as milling and CNC machines. Additionally, no requirement for edge banding minimizes possible errors and labor costs that may occur during machining, making the production process more efficient and cost-effective. Easily machinability of the panels allows even complex and detailed designs to be produced without errors.
Physical and Mechanical Resistance
Compact panel boards are highly resistant to physical and mechanical influences. Superior resistance allows the panels to provide extra protection against impact, abrasion, scratch and wear and tear. So, compact panel boards offer an effective solution even in high traffic areas, industrial applications and various indoor wet areas. Additionally, its durability minimizes maintenance and repair needs for the product. The resistance delivered by a compact panel meets the high performance expectations of users, extending the life of projects and maintaining their aesthetic appearance.
