1. Product Overview
Engineered for laundry rooms and other moisture-prone spaces, the Water-Resistant PET Coated MDF Board combines a Class E0 MDF core (formaldehyde ≤0.05mg/m³, EN 717-1) with a 0.5mm PET film to deliver unmatched resistance to humidity, spills, and daily wear. Ideal for cabinetry, shelving, and utility units, this board features IPX4-rated edges, antibacterial surfaces (99.9% efficacy against E. coli and S. aureus per ISO 22196), and UV-cured scratch-resistant coatings (3H Mohs hardness). Its seamless integration of functionality and minimalist design aligns with modern interior aesthetics while addressing the unique challenges of high-humidity environments.
Core Innovations:
- HydroGuard™ Technology: Proprietary resin formulation with wax additives reduces water absorption to ≤8% (ASTM D1037).
- Precision Edge Sealing: PUR-based adhesive bonds PET film to MDF, ensuring 360° moisture protection.
- Modular Compatibility: Pre-routed slots for concealed hinges and Qi wireless charging pads (15W max).
