The main disadvantages of MDF
Jul 05, 2022
1. The biggest disadvantage of MDF is that it is not moisture-proof and swells when it sees water. When using MDF as skirting board, door cover board, and window sill board, it should be noted that all six sides are painted so that it will not be deformed.
2. The density board has a large expansion rate and large deformation when exposed to water, and the long-term load-bearing deformation is larger than that of the homogeneous solid wood particle board.
Although the moisture resistance of MDF is poor, the surface of MDF is smooth and flat, the material is fine, the performance is stable, the edge is firm, and it is easy to shape, which avoids problems such as decay and moth-eaten. In terms of bending strength and impact strength, it is superior to particleboard, and the surface of the board is very decorative, which is better than the appearance of solid wood furniture.
3. MDF has poor nail-holding power. Because the fiber of MDF is very broken, the nail-holding power of MDF is much worse than that of solid wood board and particleboard.
