Custom furniture is inseparable from these two kinds of plates. They can be used as wardrobes, cabinets, and panel furniture. Do you know what these two types of plates are? They are solid wood particle board and MDF.
Solid wood particle board is a type of particle board, which is made of wood or other lignocellulosic materials, fine wood fibers on both sides, long wood fibers in the middle, and an artificial adhesive board that is glued under heat and pressure after adhesive is applied. .
MDF is easy to re-process because of its soft and impact resistance. It is a good material for making furniture in foreign countries. However, due to the fact that the national standard for HDF is several times lower than international standards, the quality of MDF used in China is very high. Still need to improve.
Environmental protection:
In the industrial production of wood-based panels, the most commonly used adhesives are: urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, MDI (isocyanate), among which urea-formaldehyde resin has the highest formaldehyde emission. Although MDI does not contain formaldehyde, it is inherently irritating and irritates the human eye and skin.
The unit of medium density fiberboard is woody or non-woody fiber, with small units and large specific surface area. The unit of solid wood particle board is the scrap of wood shavings or non-wood materials. The unit is larger than the fiberboard, and the specific surface area is small. The amount of glue applied varies according to different structures. In theory, the solid wood particle board should be much smaller than the fiber board, but the fiber units of the fiber board can be connected by hydrogen bonds to compensate for the bonding strength. Therefore, there is not much difference between the density board and the wood particle board. Finally, we can see the level of formaldehyde emission to judge: E0 is the best, E1 is the second, and E2 is not used.
Price: The ex-factory price of the two plates is similar. Of course, there is no direct comparison between different brands due to different brand values.
Density: For example, a density board is like a cement sand combination. A solid wood particle board is like a cement stone combination. The density of a density board is higher, which means that the weight per unit volume is greater. So the weight of the same furniture MDF is even greater. Lightweight solid wood particle board is more convenient for transportation.
Moisture-proof: Because of the small size of the fiber, the MDF is more likely to swell with water, so it is not suitable for wet environments, such as toilets.
Processing: Both boards are suitable for assembly line machining and require machine edge sealing, which is not suitable for on-site carpentry production. MDF can cut arcs and create a variety of concave and convex shapes, but solid wood particle board can not.
to sum up
Solid wood particle board: light weight, moisture resistance is relatively better than the density board, holding nail force is better than the density board, can not be milling, environmental protection performance to see environmental protection level, suitable for use as cabinets, wardrobe cabinets and plate furniture.
MDF: heavy weight, afraid of the tide afraid of water, nail holding power is poor, can do any modeling, the surface can be made of veneer, do paint, suitable for European-style, rustic style doors.
