MDF Wood and Its Types
MDF board has become increasingly popular in recent years. MDF stands for Medium Density Fibreboard in its entire form. Because of its low cost, it has become a viable alternative to wood. The varieties, qualities, and manufacturing technique of MDF are explained in length in this article.
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
Medium Density Fibreboard, or MDF wood, is an engineered composite wood product created from hardwood and softwood leftovers glued together with wax and resin under tremendous pressure and pressure.
Properties of MDF
Plants was once used as the raw material for MDF in fully equipped pilot facilities. MDF binders are used to make higher-quality products. As a binder, chemicals such as urea melamine formaldehyde and urea melamine formaldehyde adhesive combination are utilised. MDF of various qualities required varied amounts of resin and different types of wheat straw, and the resulting MDF was dubbed Straw Medium Density Fibreboard (SMDF).
The properties analyzed of MDF
- Internal bond strength
- Modulus of rupture
- Modulus of elasticity
- Thickness
- Elasticity
- Water absorption
- Swelling
Manufacture Procedure of MDF
MDF's production method has evolved significantly over time. Now, sophisticated technology has improved the quality of production while also saving time and money. As a result, it is now a lucrative enterprise. It includes some procedures, such as:-
- Collection
- Wood preparation
- Resin recipes
- Press technology
- Panel sanding technique
- Finishing
Types of MDF
Different kinds of MDF are found which may be labeled by color. Followings are the main type of MDF board:
- Ultra-light MDF plate (ULDF)
