Laminated chipboard

Laminated chipboard (MFC – Melamine Faced Chipboard) is produced on the basis of sanded chipboard. Chipboard lamination means covering chipboards with paper-based films saturated with melamine resins. Under high temperature (up to 240 degrees) and pressure (up to 30 kg/cm2) the resin melts and squeezes out of the film. During this process the film is glued to the chipboard surface and the polymerized resin gives the surface the properties of thermosetting plastic, which is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical effects.

Areas of use: Laminated chipboard are used in the production of cabinet and office furniture, furniture sets for the home, in the manufacture of shelves, racks, partitions, packaging, temporary fences, and are also used for decorative purposes and finishes, due to the original surface texture. Quality, environmental friendliness, presentable appearance, durability, a wide colors range and decent prices – that is why laminated chipboards have become the main material for furniture production. In addition to a wide colors range, the products are presented in different decor options. The most common and frequently used in the production of furniture are decors of the wood group.
