What is MDF?
Medium density fiberboard, or MDF, is a composite wood product similar to particleboard. It’s made
out of wood waste fibers glued together with resin, heat, and pressure. MDF is appropriate for many
applications, from cabinetry to moulding, because it is smooth, uniform, and won’t warp.
MDF has many advantages over plank wood, particleboard, or high density fiberboard. It’s very
smooth because the wood fibers used in its manufacture are uniform and fine. This makes it have
low "tear out," which means that when sawed, the end has a smooth cut instead of a jagged edge.
This also means that a coat of primer and a couple of coats of paint take well, leaving an attractive,
finished surface unlike other composite wood products. MDF also has a mild reaction to moisture,
meaning it won’t warp or swell in high-humidity applications like a bathroom cabinet.
Builders use MDF in many capacities, such as in furniture, shelving, laminate flooring, decorative
moulding, and doors. They value MDF for its insular qualities in sound and heat. Also, it can be nailed,
glued, screwed, stapled, or attached with dowels, making it as versatile as plank wood. Usually, people
working with MDF use a carbide saw fitted with a vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne dust.
Since MDF is strengthened with resin containing formaldehyde, those at exposure try to reduce their
risk of inhalation, or use special MDF with lower formaldehyde levels.
In our company, we usually use MDF as basic material with baking paint finish. It will make the kiosk
good high-end. And MDF is good for baking paint, it has smoothly surface.
