EPD: Melamine-coated MDF, 1.8-70 mm, 700 kg/m3 (Finsa)

Medium density fibreboards (MDF) are products manufactured from lignocellulose fibres obtained from carefully selected wood, bonded together with synthetic resins under pressure at high temperatures. The result is a reliable product which is used as raw material for the furniture and construction industry. Plain MDF boards and melamine-coated MDF boards comply with standards EN 622-1, EN 622-5 and EN 14322. For a neat finishing, they can be easily coated with decorative papers, impregnated with melamine, using simple technologies. These MDF boards are classified into different types according to the requirements set forth under standard EN 622-5, both according to their use (structural or non structural), and according to the type of environment where they are used (dry and humid).
