Quality wood products from around the world.
InterGlobal Forest OverviewHigh quality MDF board, coloured grey in the mass with a hard, fine and smoothly sanded surface. The board is subject to minimal expansion and swelling in conditions of high humidity.
MDF Fibralux MR Grey has low formaldehyde emission (E1 class). Moreover, Fibralux MR Grey meets the requirements set by the California Air Resource Board (CARB - phase 2). According to ASTM E 1333-96, formaldehyde emission is less than 0,11 ppm, which corresponds to CARB, phase 2 as set by the ACTM. Upon request, this MDF board can be supplied with PEFC or FSC Mixed Credit certificate.

MDF Fibralux MR Grey is suitable for interior decoration, industrial processing, and furniture production. The board can be lacquered or finished with paper, foil, melamine, veneer or high pressure laminate. MDF Fibralux MR Grey board can als be used for loadbearing applications in humid conditions.
MDF Fibralux MR Grey is very much appreciated in applications where MDF panels are perforated (e.g. acoustic ceilings or wall systems). As the boards are coloured grey in the mass, the perforations or grooves are also grey and give a nice contrast with the surface finishing of the panel. The same applies for the edges : further processing of the panel edges is not always necessary to have a nice esthetical finishing.
The board can be applied in service class 2 (restrictions in temperature and ambient humidity) and can be used in biological hazard classes 1 and 2 of EN 3353. During and especially after installation the boards must, wherever possible, be optimally protected from any direct contact with water. They must be stacked flat, on a pallet or using a sufficient number of cross members. Boards should not be stored vertically, unless ground contact can be avoided. The board will expand/shrink under variable humidity conditions, albeit to a lesser extent than MDF Fibralux, meaning that an expansion space must be provided for at all times. Use suitable sawing, milling and drilling tools. MDF Fibralux MR Grey can be used for structural walls, with a restriction in the load duration class. In service class 2, corrosion resistant fittings must be used, e.g., galvanised steel. Nails or screws should be kept at least 8 mm away from the edge of the board.
