Description
18mm Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) sheets come with varying dimensions and physical properties, offering manufacturers an opportunity to design different end products depending on their specific needs.
MDF 18mm is a composite sheet material product usually engineered from cellulosic fibres combined with synthetic resin and strongly bonded under high temperature and pressure.

The end product is typically smooth, flat, dense, uniform, and free of knots sheets with beautiful grain patterns. The 18mm MDF board’s consistent profile allows for convoluted and accurate machining and finishing methods for polished MDF 18mm panel.
