MDF is a special type of board, and it is also one of the MDF. According to the shape, it can be divided into two types: long fiberboard and short fiberboard. The main raw materials used in MDF are wood fibers or other plant fibers, which are ground by machine to achieve effective separation of fiber materials, and then dried by professional equipment and then added with urea-formaldehyde resin or other suitable adhesives, and finally formed by high-temperature hot pressing. a man-made board. The density of MDF is generally 0.5 to 0.8 grams per centimeter, and the thickness is generally between 3 and 30 mm. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of MDF?
Unique advantages of MDF
1. The internal structure of MDF is very well-proportioned. Although it is a kind of MDF, its density is moderate, and it has strong stability and is not easy to be deformed and out of shape. At the same time, its physical and mechanical properties are very good.
2. The surface of the board is very smooth and has good processing performance. There is no need to worry about lace and other issues when cutting. If you want to pursue beauty, you can also paste sliced thin wood, pattern patterns and unique and beautiful decorative paper, so it is used in house decoration. It is widely used in China and is very popular among consumers. It is often used to make furniture, partitions, etc.
3. MDF is also an excellent decorative material, which can be effectively used for the middle frame and the middle clip of frameless paintings. For example, the national registered trademark Visual Life Frameless Painting uses MDF. In addition, MDF is also a board with excellent environmental performance.
4. MDF can be used for finishing without worrying about the impregnation of paint. Because of its flat and smooth surface, paint and paint can be applied evenly on the surface, so it is suitable for paint brushing.
5. MDF has strong adhesion properties, whether it is veneer, adhesive film, decorative panel, or light metal sheet of various colors, it can be easily passed on the surface of the board.
6. The MDF has a very strong nail holding force, and its sound insulation effect is very good.
Disadvantages of MDF that cannot be ignored
1. The biggest disadvantage of MDF is its moisture-proof performance. If it encounters moisture or water, it will swell. Therefore, if MDF is used to make skirting boards, door panels, and window sills, it is best to paint its surface, so as to prevent moisture and not deform.
2. In addition to the poor moisture-proof performance of MDF, its load-bearing capacity is also limited. If it bears the load for a long time, it will deform and lose its shape.
