1. Product Overview
The High-Temperature PET Laminated MDF Board is engineered for environments requiring resistance to heat, moisture, and mechanical stress. Combining a Green Core HMR MDF base (moisture-resistant, formaldehyde ≤0.05mg/m³) with a 0.5mm PET laminate, this board excels in kitchens, industrial settings, and high-humidity zones. The PET layer, reinforced with silicone-based adhesives, withstands temperatures up to 200°C (short-term) and 150°C (continuous), making it ideal for applications near ovens, HVAC systems, and laboratory cabinetry.
Key Innovations:
- ThermoGuard™ Technology: Nano-ceramic additives in the PET film enhance heat reflection and reduce thermal expansion.
- Flame-Retardant Core: Fire-rated MDF base meets Class B-s1, d0 standards (EN 13501-1).
- Modular Design: Pre-drilled slots for concealed wiring and IoT sensor integration.

3. Material Composition & Manufacturing
A. Core Material
The HMR MDF core integrates 15% hemp fibers and wax additives to reduce swelling in humid conditions (≤0.8% at 85% RH). Its fire-retardant properties derive from ammonium polyphosphate additives, achieving self-extinguishing combustion behavior.
B. PET Laminate Process
- Surface Preparation: PET film is pre-treated with plasma to enhance adhesion (Ra ≤0.6μm).
- High-Pressure Lamination: Bonded at 180°C and 15MPa using silicone adhesives, ensuring edge stability (IPX4-rated).
- Quality Control: Laser-aligned CNC trimming maintains ±0.2mm tolerance for seamless joints.
4. Performance Advantages
A. Thermal Stability
- Heat Reflection: PET's nano-ceramic layer reflects 85% of infrared radiation, reducing surface temperatures by 10-15°C.
- Low Thermal Conductivity: 0.12 W/m·K minimizes heat transfer to underlying structures.
B. Durability
- Scratch Resistance: 3H Mohs hardness withstands abrasion from steel wool (500+ cycles).
- Chemical Resistance: Inert to acids, alkalis, and solvents (pH 2-12).

9. Advanced Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
A. Precision Production Techniques
-
Material Synthesis:
- MDF Core: The HMR-grade MDF core integrates 15% hemp fibers for enhanced dimensional stability under thermal stress, reducing linear expansion to ≤0.8% at 150°C (ASTM D1037). Fire-retardant additives like ammonium polyphosphate ensure self-extinguishing properties (EN 13501-1).
- PET Laminate: A 0.5mm PET film with 30% recycled content is plasma-treated (Ra ≤0.6μm) to optimize adhesion. UV-cured silicone adhesives (VOC ≤50g/L) bond the PET layer under 15MPa pressure at 180°C.
-
Edge Stability: CNC-trimmed edges achieve ±0.2mm tolerance, while IPX4-rated PUR sealing prevents moisture ingress in steam-heavy environments like commercial kitchens.
B. Fire Safety Validation
- Flame Spread Testing: Validated via 30-minute flame spread tests, achieving Class B-s1, d0 certification (EN 13501-1).
- Total Heat Release (THR): ≤15 MJ/m², outperforming conventional ceramic-coated MDF by 40%.
