Description
18mm Egger U604 ST9 Reed Green Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in the UK by Egger, part of the Green Unicolours range within Eggerโs wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and surface
Reed Green is a green with plenty of grey in it, so it stays quiet even on large doors and wall panels. The result feels natural and restrained rather than bright or playful. ST9 Smoothtouch Matt feels smooth and even to the touch.
Egger tests how well its decorative boards cope with staining substances, and they score 3 or higher (EN 14323). They need no special care. Spills such as tea, coffee and wine should still be cleared up straight away.
Construction and performance
The chipboard core is faced on both sides with resin-impregnated decorative paper pressed into a durable melamine surface, finished with a square cut edge ready for banding. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. The panel can be cut, drilled and machined using suitable woodworking equipment, with exposed edges finished using matching U604 ST9 ABS edging. It is intended for dry interior applications. It can be used for kitchen cabinets and furniture, but should not be installed where the board or exposed edges will be subject to persistent moisture, standing water or direct wetting.
Where to use it
18mm Egger board U604 ST9 Reed Green MFC suits a wide range of interior fit-out work:
- Kitchen cabinet fronts and carcasses in dry areas.
- Fitted wardrobe doors.
- Office storage units and partition panels.

- Built-in cupboards and alcove units.
Reed Green is also available as a matching U604 ST9 ABS edging tape, unglued and supplied in 0.8mm and 2mm thicknesses for hot melt edgebanding machines.
