What are MDF, PVC, and HDF?
MDF Medium Density Fiberboard Definition MDF is a general term for a board made of fibers mixed with synthetic resins or other suitable adhesives under heat and pressure. To improve performance, additives can be added during the production process. MDF can be produced from waste wood and recycled wood, making the best use of forest resources. Performance The surface is smooth, uniform, and dense, without knots, easy to paint, especially suitable for direct printing and thin veneer. MDF paint can be used for advanced decoration products, such as stereo speakers, load-bearing files, and molded parts. Dimensional stability and good strength are also the main advantages of MDF. MDF has less precision tolerance in machining and can replace solid wood for interior and other new applications. Standard Product Standard ANSI 208.2 Industry Standard for Medium Density Fiberboard. This standard is classified by density and use (9 indoor or outdoor) and identifies four product grades. Properties identified in the standard include physical properties, machinability, dimensional tolerances, and aldehyde release limits. Application 1. As a board---MDF can be used as a core board, a surface veneer, a printing board, a polyvinyl chloride, or a low-voltage veneer. MDF is flat, stable, smooth,
