SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DENSITY PROFILE FOR MDF

The development of the MDF density profile is mainly influenced by the press control but also by the fibre condition (moisture. glueing). Although it was the target in the beginning of MDF manufacture to obtain a homogeneous density all over the board section. today's press control resp. technology practically allows the development of any density profile which can be optimally adapted to the individual application. Further, correlations between the density profile and some board properties are explained.
