Description
9mm 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 9mm is a composite sheet material product usually engineered from cellulosic fibres combined with synthetic resin and strongly bonded under high temperature and pressure.
Besides, to impart more features to the MDF sheets, more additives may be added during manufacturing. The end product is typically smooth, flat, dense, uniform, and free of knots sheets with beautiful grain patterns. The 9mm MDF board’s consistent profile allows for convoluted and accurate machining and finishing methods for polished MDF 9mm panel.
9mm MDF 2440mm x 1220mm is mostly made for internal use, and any contact with water can cause significant damage to the MDF sheets, i.e., swell or warp. It is, therefore, recommended for non-structural use in dry conditions.
Here are some key applications of 9mm MDF boards:
- Wall panelling;
- Furniture;
- Window boards;
- Toys;
- Shopfitting;
- Toys;
- Exhibition displays;
- Public buildings;
- Architraves;
