SHEET PRODUCTS introductory information INTRODUCTION Architectural panels with applied decorative Fire Retardant Particleboard - Some Medium surface materials are made up of a variety of core Density Industrial Particleboard has been Section 4 is the second material section. This types including: Particleboard, Medium Density treated during manufacture to carry a UL stamp section includes a wide range of SHEET goods, Fiberboard (MDF), veneer , Hardboard, Lumber, for Class I flame spread rating (Flame spread Hardwood and Softwood Veneers, High Pressure Combination and Agrifiber/Agrofiber.)

8 20, Smoke developed 450). Fire retardant Decorative Laminate, Overlays, Backers, Solid Medium Density Fiberboard is also available. Surface, Solid Phenolic, Epoxy Resin, and Natural PRIMARY CORE MATERIALS. and Manufactured Stone. This section identifies Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) - common panel cores and panel surfaces referred Industrial Grade Particleboard - Sometimes Sometimes referenced as composite core, is to in subsequent product sections. It contains referenced as composite core, is made of made of wood particles reduced to fibers in a material rules specific to all of the SHEET PRODUCTS wood particles of various sizes that are bonded moderate pressure steam vessel, combined the section covers. together with a synthetic resin or binder under with a resin, and bonded together under heat heat and pressure.

9 And pressure. Quality assurance can be achieved by adherence Medium Density Industrial Particleboard is used Due to the finer texture of the fibers used in 4. to the AWS and will provide the owner a quality in the broadest applications of Architectural manufacturing Medium Density Fiberboard product at competitive pricing. Use of a qualified Woodwork . It is especially well suited as a core (MDF) it is smoother than Medium Density Sponsor Member firm to provide your Woodwork for veneers and decorative laminates. Particleboard. The uniform texture and density will help ensure the manufacturer's understanding of the fibers create a homogenous panel that of the quality level required. Illustrations in this When used as panels without surface plies, is very useful as a core for paint, thin overlay Section are not intended to be all inclusive, other the product is referred to as particleboard.

10 Materials, veneers and decorative laminates. engineered solutions may be acceptable. In the When used as an inner core with outer wood MDF is among the most stable of the mat absence of specifications; methods of fabrication veneers, the panel is referred to as particle formed panel PRODUCTS . When used as an inner are the manufacturer's choice. The design core plywood. core with outer wood veneers, the panel is professional, by specifying compliance to the AWS. referred to as MDF core plywood. increases the probability of receiving the product quality expected. Industrial particleboard is commercially classified by density, which is measured by PLYWOOD the weight per cubic foot of the panel product. The term plywood is defined as a panel Medium Density (M series) = generally manufactured of three or more layers (plies) of between 40-50 pounds per ft3 (640-800 kg rd oa wood or wood PRODUCTS (veneers or overlays and/ per m3).)
