Backing Panel

Backing panel MDF is a versatile and affordable material that can be used for a variety of applications. It is commonly used as a backing board for cabinets. This type of MDF is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, which are then combined with wax and a resin binder. The mixture is formed into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood and is stronger and denser than particle board. The density is typically between 500 and 1,000 kg/m³. The characteristics of backing panel MDF can vary based on factors like the size, color, and thickness. It’s known for its high internal bond strength, enhanced modulus of rupture, thickness, and elasticity. It has a smooth surface, free from knots and kinks, making it easy to cut or carve. It’s commonly used in interior or exterior construction projects, cabinetry, furniture-making, and similar applications. Despite some health-related concerns associated with MDF, these do not apply when it’s used as a construction material.
