What is thick MDF

MDF is an abbreviation for medium density fiberboard. This material consists of wood chips that are pressed together tightly. This material is often used as a substitute for real wood molds, an artificial wood product that replaces solid wood. It was launched in the 1980s and is a combination of wood pellets and resin or wax binder. It is often used in cabinets or other interior applications because it does not resist moisture. MDF is not as dense as solid wood, but from the outside, it can be done very much. Therefore, once installed, most people will not know the difference between MDF molding and real wood.

The thick MDF is a modification according to the customer's usage requirements. The thin MDF and the thick MDF are used in different situations, and can be selected according to the respective applicable conditions to perform the most suitable processing.
