    Study Notes

    Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)

    • MDF is a modern industrial wood product, commonly referred to as M.D.F, representing medium density compressed sheets.
    • Features flame-retardant properties that can be enhanced with additional fire-resistant materials.
    • Applications of flame-retardant MDF include:
      • Wall coverings
      • Office partitions
      • Office furniture
      • Interior design for shops
      • Exhibition displays

    Adhesives and Surface Treatment

    • MDF requires specific adhesives for proper bonding, with preferred options being urea formaldehyde (UF) and polyvinyl acetate (P.V.AC).
    • MDF sheets can be covered with PVC cladding, providing a wood-like appearance and acting as a protective barrier against moisture and water.
    • This cladding serves as a final finish, eliminating the need for additional paints or varnishes, unlike traditional wood veneer finishes.
    • Surfaces can be enhanced using pigmented lacquer or polyester resin, further improving aesthetics.

    Applications and Advantages

    • Molded shapes made of MDF are increasingly replacing solid wood in the furniture industry and interior design, allowing for versatile and cost-effective solutions.
