Particleboard and MDF have different physical properties. Relatively speaking, the whole board has the same properties. It has good plasticity and can be engraved into various linear shapes. However, the interlayer bonding force of the MDF is relatively poor. Holes are punched at the ends, and the layer is easy to crack when punching.

Compared with particleboard, the surface layer of the board has a higher density and a smaller middle layer. The strength is mainly in the surface layer and cannot damage the surface layer, so the plasticity is basically not there, but the combination of particleboard The force is better, and the nail holding force is also good. It is suitable for flat right-angle plate parts, commonly known as panel furniture. The following will introduce to you in detail which particleboard and MDF are better.

Which is better, particleboard or MDF?

1. Particleboard VS MDF: Structure

Particleboard is a multi-layered structure with a surface that is equivalent to MDF and has a good degree of compactness; the interior is a layered wood chip that retains the fiber structure, and maintains the layered structure by a specific process, which is very close to the structure of natural solid wood boards.

2. Particleboard VS MDF: timber

MDF uses sawdust at the end of the forestry industry, and the material itself has no fiber structure at all. The laminated wood chips used in particle board retain the fiber structure, and are specially processed by unprocessed tree branches instead of scraps.

3. Particleboard VS MDF: Processing Technology

Because the raw materials of MDF are close to powder, the surface area of ​​the same volume of material is much larger than the lamellar wood chips used in particleboard. The adhesive consumed by the board bonding molding also far exceeds the particleboard, which determines the price, density (specific gravity), and formaldehyde content of the MDF are higher than the particleboard. It can be seen that the high price of MDF is due to high cost rather than high performance.

The modern particleboard production process uses aerial atomized spray adhesive and layering process, which makes the amount of adhesive lower, the structure of the board more reasonable, and therefore the quality is better. The plate used by our company is produced by this process.

4. Particleboard VS MDF: Application

MDF is widely used in the furniture industry to replace wood processing lines and carving products, such as European-style furniture door panels, hats, decorative columns, etc. due to its uniform and delicate internal structure. Particleboard is widely used in the panel furniture industry because it is not easy to bend and deform, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, good nail holding force, and low formaldehyde content. Most of the international custom wardrobe brands and well-known domestic companies choose high-quality particleboard.
