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.
