Which is Better, MDF VS Particle Board?

MDF is the abbreviation of medium density fiberboard. Density board (English: High Density Board (wod)), also known as fiberboard, is made of wood, tree branches and other objects soaked in water and then heated, paved, and hot pressed. It is made of wood fiber or other plant fibers. Raw materials, artificial boards made of urea-formaldehyde resin or other suitable adhesives.

Which is Better, MDF VS Particle Board?

Medium density fiberboard is good, because medium density fiberboard has high plane tensile strength and good elasticity. It has good hygroscopicity and water absorption performance, thick and smooth surface.

  1. The solid wood particle board is made by crushing logs and processed under high temperature and high pressure. The middle layer is made of long wood fibers, and the two sides are finely organized wood fibers, which are pressed into boards.
  2. Medium density fiberboard, referred to as medium density fiberboard, is a kind of man-made board made of wood fiber or other plant fiber as raw material, after crushing, fiber separation, drying, adding urea-formaldehyde resin or other adhesives, and then hot pressing .
  3. The molecular structure of the solid wood particle board is tight, the bending strength is high, and it is not easy to open. It is mainly used to make furniture. This kind of board has a high density and retains more of the essence of natural wood.
  4. The internal structure of medium density fiberboard is uniform, the surface is flat, its material is relatively thin, it is not easy to open glue, and different shapes and patterns can be pasted on the surface.

Advantages of MDF:

  1. The internal organizational structure is uniform, the performance is stable, and the physical index does not change much under different environments, so it is not easy to deform.
  2. The surface is smooth and delicate, which is convenient for finishing and saves paint, and the bonding strength is high, which is convenient for pasting other patterns.
  3. Appropriate hardness and density, convenient for drilling and modification during processing and decoration.
  4. Good heat insulation performance, not easy to aging, and long service life.
  5. Environmental protection: non-toxic, tasteless, no radiation, good air permeability, low formaldehyde content.

Disadvantages of MDF:

  1. Hygroscopicity, water absorption performance, thickness expansion rate are low, waterproof performance is not high, and it is easy to swell and deform in a humid environment.
  2. There are extremely high requirements for processing precision and craftsmanship. Poor nail holding power, not easy to fix with nails.

Advantages of solid wood particle board:

  1. The solid wood particle board has good nail holding power, can be nailed with round nails and screws, and its processing performance is obviously better than that of density board.
  2. Solid wood particle board has the essence of natural wood, and the content of adhesive used is generally less than 5%, which is better in environmental protection.
  3. The solid wood particle board has good stability and high strength, and it is not easy to bend when hanging heavy clothes.

Disadvantages of solid wood particle board:

The flatness of solid wood particle board is worse than that of density board, and it is more difficult to make radians and shapes.
