MR10 Moisture Resistant Medium Density Fiberboard Panel

MR10 Medium Density Fiberboard is a reliable substrate with the added benefit of moisture-resistance. It is often used in kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, embossing, trim moulding, wall and floor paneling, and furniture. Though dense, it is very easy to work, and it is utilized for projects that require detailed machining. The stable quality of MDF allows it to hold ornate shapes for precise and elegant craftsmanship that elevates interior designs.

Benefits of MR10 Moisture Resistant Medium Density Fiberboard:

• Moisture-resistant
• Smooth, strong and hard
• Easily cut and machined
• Reliable substrate for veneer and decorative laminates
• Great choice for laminated flooring & wall panels, cabinetry, moulding and millwork with occasional moisture exposure

Moisture Resistance:

Moisture Resistant Medium Density Fiberboard Panels are an ANSI MR10 rated product for use in interior locations with occasional moisture exposure.

According to the ANSI Standard, MR10 requires that swelling after a soak test not exceed 5.5%.

Fabrication

MDF panels are created using fine wood particles reduced to fibers through steam, then combined with a resin and bonded together under heat and pressure. The texture is smooth and close-grained, creating a smoother surface than Particle Board cores. This uniform texture creates homogenous panels that are ideal for paint, veneers, or decorative laminates.

Workability

MDF is incredibly stable because of its unique close-binding fabrication. The surface is flat and smooth without knots, allowing tools to easily cut through and work the panel. Precise machining and finishing are easily performed. The surface is easily painted, and it is a stable core for decorative overlays.

Standards

The American National Standard Institute (ANSI) created a standard for Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). It is the North American industry’s voluntary standard that classifies MDF by physical and mechanical properties and identifies product grades. Specifications identified in the Standard include physical and mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and formaldehyde emission limits. Also, various overlays and surface treatments have been shown to reduce product emissions significantly.

Sustainability

Regulations by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establish formaldehyde emissions limits for MDF. To meet the needs of the market, many MDF manufacturers have voluntarily developed no-added formaldehyde (NAF) and ultra-low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) prodcuts.
