Furniture made of MDF

MDF called fiberboard, which is at its density is inferior particleboard, chipboard or plywood. Its name, this plate is an abbreviation of the English phrases medium density fiberboard, which literally means - a plate medium density. Medium density fiberboard is made of fine wood fibers that are pre-grinding and drying. The fibers are pressed with the addition of a binder of synthetic origin. Such substance, is usually the lignin. Lignin is easily melted in the heat treatment. MDF is widely used in the furniture industry. It is a popular material used in the manufacture of furniture fronts and other furniture items. Also out of MDF make various decorative interior elements, such as wall panels (battens), coffers, ornamental rails, baseboards and millwork, such as interior doors and frames. In fact MDF is an advanced version of well-known to any Russian men Fiberboard - fibreboard. Dry method for manufacturing fiberboard received technological development, which appeared in Nature and the material called MDF. In the production of MDF used compressed mode pressing and new binders, as well as a new mechanism of interaction between the fibers. All this provides a medium density fiberboard higher, compared with fibreboard strength. One of the factors of competitiveness of price and quality characteristics of MDF is that for the production of this material is used low-grade wood and wood waste industries, such as cutting, slabs, chips, and others. Advantages of MDF. - An alternative to more expensive types of finishing materials - high quality indicators - Environmental and hygiene - Availability (as at least 50 percent less wood) - High level of sound insulation and thermal insulation - easily to any method of processing and shaping, so the details of MDF look much prettier than similar plywood or chipboard MDF Disadvantages The main drawback of MDF is that it is stronger compared to other furniture panels subjected to mechanical influences by the low level of density. This problem is solved applying durable coatings on the surface of the decorative details.
