2 The surface can be painted toachieve a high quality finish and provides a uniform substratefor overlaying. GoldenEdge Superlite has a light colour andis most suitable for any light, white or pale colour papersor foil for laminating. The colour is reduction in density of GoldenEdge Superlite ensuresthat machine tools will last many times longer and so reducesdown time. Its lighter weight makes it easier to work, withconsequent increased Tolerances (mm)Thickness and Width (maximum difference between diagonals)Straightness (maximum deviation from line)DescriptionGoldenEdge Liteboard is 20% lighter in weight than regularMDF but maintains the excellent strength quality, surfacesmoothness and stability. The surface can be painted toachieve a high quality finish and provides a uniform substratefor overlaying.

3 GoldenEdge Liteboard has a lighter tonethan other MDF and is most suitable for any light, white orpale colour papers or foil for laminating. The colour reduction in density of GoldenEdge Liteboard ensuresthat machine tools will last four times longer and so reducesdown time.
