Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
MDF panels are widely used in the manufacture of furniture, kitchen cabinets, door parts, mouldings, millwork and panelling. They are manufactured in a variety of dimensions and densities, providing the opportunity to design end product with the specific MDF needed.
MDF Grades available include Industrial, Shop, Fire Retardant, Moisture Resistant and Powder Coating Grade.
Cabinet manufacturers use MDF when they require a smooth, defect-free panel, shelf, or other printed or wrapped surface. MDF is a premier substrate for high quality veneer, thin vinyls, hot transfer foils, low pressure and resin saturated papers, powder coatings and other direct finishes. MDF's smooth surface edge-finishing qualities, workability, dimensional stability, flatness, strength, screw-holding, resistance to compression and warp, and lack of grain-telegraphing have also contributed to it's wide acceptance.
N&C stocks industrial grade MDF panels ranging from 1/4" to 1-1/2" thickness and sizes are 4' and 5' wide by 8' to 12' in length. MDF panels up to 2" thickness and 18' lengths are available on a special order basis.
