Ideal for applications where high speed profiling and machining for industrial use may be required. Developed at MEDITE’s world class MDF facility in Clonmel, MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR broadens the range of the MEDITE family of high performance MDF products.
Applications
Designed to maximise the sophisticated finishing processes and fine machining required for end user applications. MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR is successfully used for architectural mouldings, skirting boards, architraves, window boards, high quality furniture, flooring, bathroom and kitchen panels. MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR is suitable for interior humid conditions and is manufactured in accordance with EN 622-5. MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR is not suitable for external applications. MEDITE Industrial MR must be sealed, primed and painted on all surfaces prior to installation. Boards of this type are suitable for use in Hazard Class 1 and 2 environments of EN 335-3 provided an appropriate coating system is used.
Performance
The test methods used for moisture resistant MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR includes a specialized cyclic test (EN 321) in which test pieces, after conditioning, are immersed in water at 20°C for 72 hours, frozen in air at -12°C for 24 hours, and heated in an air-circulated oven at 70°C for 72 hours. This cycle is carried out three times, followed by post conditioning and physical testing according to EN 622-5 test methods. MEDITE INDUSTRIAL MR is accepted in the UK by the NHBC for use in suitable applications.
