MDF General Info
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is produced by thermomechanically obtaining fiber from wood or other lignocellulosic raw materials, drying such fibers to a certain degree of humidity after adding synthetic adhesives, and finally pressing (forming) a sheet at a certain temperature under pressure. • MDF stands for “medium-density fiberboard.”
MDF Usage Areas
USAGE AREAS OF MDF
• MDF is an alternative to solid wood in many applications.
• Membrane and acrylic covers are made of MDF that is suitable for milling.
• It is used as a base under decorative foil, PVC, and wood coatings.
• The product can be used in all living spaces, including kitchens and bathroom cabinets, bedrooms, and offices.
• It is suitable for use as a door panel.
• It can be used in the production of profile and drawer front parts.
• Thanks to its high surface density and low roughness, lacquered or faced (single or double side) versions can be used by manufacturers as a ready-to-use product.
MDF Advantages
ADVANTAGES OF MDF
• While the fibers are dense on the lower and upper surfaces, the density decreases in the middle. • It is suitable for machine cutting. The edges are shatter-proof.
• No gaps form among the particles. It can be processed.
• It can be cut, drilled and milled without errors with CNC machines. Its surface is homogeneous and smooth.
• It can be painted and varnished. It is also suitable for patterns and prints. The product serves as a good base for foil and wood coating
