What is MDF?

Density fiberboard, also known as density fiberboard, is typically made from wood or other plant fibers, bonded with a resin binder, and then pressed through heat. Density fiberboard can be categorized into three types: high-density fiberboard, medium-density fiberboard, and low-density fiberboard. Because density fiberboard has a relatively uniform core structure and a dense material, it offers impact resistance and ease of secondary processing. It is commonly used in industries such as furniture, musical instruments, and interior design.

Advantages and disadvantages of density board

1. Density board is very convenient for exterior decoration. It can be easily painted and smeared, which brings convenience to decoration.

2. The surface of the density board can be veneered, such as wood veneer, PVC, printed paper, etc., which greatly improves the appearance of the density board.

3. Density boards can be easily drilled, nailed, etc., and can also be made into sound-absorbing panels.

4. There is no dehydration reaction, the material of the density board is particularly uniform and has good physical properties.

Disadvantages of MDF

1. Density boards are generally not moisture-proof and will expand when in contact with water.

You need to paint all six sides, otherwise it will deform.

2. Although the density board is not moisture-proof, its surface is flat and smooth, it is easy to make shapes, and its performance is stable.

It avoids insect infestation and corrosion. It is also stronger than particle board in some properties, such as bending resistance and impact resistance.

The main function of density board

Because of its special properties, density board is more commonly used to strengthen door panels, wooden floors, furniture, partitions, etc. MDF is generally used to make furniture, while high-density board is generally used in audio equipment, vehicle interiors, wall panels, security doors, etc.
