Conventional chipboard first appeared in 1918. With the advancement in many years, materials have become better, more reliable, today already available moisture-proof laminated boards for the manufacture of various products. There are many types of board, made of wood. These include the MDF and chipboard with different characteristics and their own features.
To the choice of material for their own cabinet or chest of drawers was meaningful, it is necessary to know the advantages and disadvantages of furniture materials.
Laminated chipboard based on thermosetting polymers - is the main, and often used Bulk material for the production of elements of the situation in the industry, as it is widely used in construction. These boards are quite stable to mechanical and chemical influences (benzine, acetone, water, solvents, alcohol, acid, coffee and other substances). From this we can conclude that the chipboard - the perfect raw material for the production of medical, laboratory, educational, household and office furniture.
Due to its low cost and excellent construction properties DSP - the widely used material for furniture economy class.
Chipboard - a representative of the old well-known chipboard (DSP) in a more polished form.
Chipboard - a material that is made on the basis of natural wood. This is the same particle board, but whiter polished, the surface of which film is resistant melamine. That is the main difference between them - coating. When it is pressed into the very structure of the board - making it more moisture resistant and much more durable. This "loose" raw materials, the cost budget, the design due to films and coatings can be achieved by a variety of colors, including a pattern of natural wood. It is widely used in the manufacture of cabinets for the kitchen, office, home and other interior items home as the main material. From it are made booths for exhibitions, furniture for interiors of shops, pharmacies and supermarkets. Since MDF is the same, but are more expensive boards.
Most of the office furniture is made of chipboard.
Chipboard lamination is made in different colors and different textures:
Vector fantasy decorations;
- geometry;
- ornaments;
- plain paper;
- drawings and imitation wood.
However, there is this material and its minuses - it is harmful formaldehyde emissions.
Decorative film cladding is impregnated with a resin, it is made of special decorative paper 60-90 g / m2.
Lamination - the process of applying a decorative coating by the pressure and temperature effects.
Lamination takes place in the press. In the process of pressing the paper becomes denser on the properties it on a par with the plastic. Top heavy glossy film is formed, below the same, but another structure - the adhesive. Coating laminated boards strong enough, is formed by spreading the resin over the entire surface of the particle board at a pressure of 25-28 MPa and a temperature of 140-210 ° C. For the production of their width can not be less than 10 mm but not more than 22 mm. When laminating of chipboard aldehyde pair are not allocated, which are harmful to the environment.
Lamination is considered more reliable and expensive way of manufacturing chipboard.
She pressed into the plate structure, making it more durable and moisture-resistant.

Types of chipboard for furniture
Manufacturers in many ways mark the structure of chipboard, but usually as follows:
- BS - this office;
- SE - tree with surface pores;
- SM - smooth surface;
- MAT - mat smooth surface;
- PR - porous structure;
- PE - «orange peel".
Regardless of the application method is called chipboard particle board coated with melamine.
BS and SE: For the production of the first two are most commonly used. PR - is also popular, but is used less often, SM is used in the manufacture of interior partitions. other markings may occur.
Widely used for furniture, filling door coupe type and other edementov decor.
Advantages and disadvantages of laminated chipboard for furniture
To choose a good raw material for a specific furniture needs to know its features, including the pros and cons. Any material of particleboard made from sawdust and wood chips impregnated formaldehyde resin as a binder. Particleboard emit formaldehyde, which is bad for the environment and human health, but the protective film is laminated chip - the laminated layer, which prevents the substance evaporated from the boards.
The variety of colors and textures, imitation texture wood.
This is not a plastic, not iron, but all the same familiar to all wood.
To manufacture the laminated film using paper a certain texture and pattern. It is impregnated with melamine resin, so that the latter becomes a certain level of rigidity and more friable. Then under the pressure surface of the board is connected to the film - is formed as a laminated sheet of standard thickness.
Resistance to mechanical damage.
Chipboard material sufficiently resistant to mechanical and thermal stresses with a large variety of textures and colors. It can be developed in the form of valuable wood. Due to resistance to high temperatures on this countertop material you can put hot dishes.
Resistance to thermal stresses (the hot coffee pots and pans).
Chipboard - a material made from natural wood.
The disadvantages include the inability to cost fine processing and the presence of formaldehyde resins consisting of chipboard, and advantages in high mechanical and chemical stability.
Chipboard - a representative of the old well-known chipboard (DSP) in a more polished form.
Furniture from MDF - what is it?
MDF - improved production technology materials chipboard. Board consists of small fractions of compacted sawdust. Due to this bonding method of high strength material is obtained, uniform and harmless to health. With these figures it can be used for the production of any furniture, including for children's rooms. its price is slightly higher.
The main difference from the particle board chipboard - this coating it is pressed into the plate structure, making it more durable and moisture-resistant.
The main advantages is the high strength boards, uniformity, ease of processing, moisture resistance, Antideformation ability wide range and beautiful design.
MDF quite dense material - this makes it indispensable in the production of furniture requires vytachivaniya fine lines, roundness and others.
Cons: high price, the board afraid of mechanical damage and shocks, are easily ignited.
MDF is environmentally friendly material, and has no limitation on the application.
How to choose a chipboard?
Today, there are a considerable number of CPD for different purposes. Their differences are the thickness, composition, durability, density. These features are associated with different areas in board production. There is a stereotype plate density. It is believed than it is denser, the better. But it is not so. Plus these boards - in the budget materials (low-grade wood). It includes "thinners", croaker, reiki. The main thing is that these materials meet the following standards.
- chip fractions shall not be small.
- The cross section of the chip needs to be square, and the shape of petal. If these requirements disrupt the physico-chemical properties of the finished board will deteriorate (suffer bending and resistance).
Chipboard has a wide color gamut that is widely used in the manufacture of furniture.
Consumers often wonder: what kind of material for a bed - MDF? What is different from chipboard MDF for furniture? Consider these nuances in detail.
The film is a paper impregnated with melamine resins, it is therefore often possible to meet and such term as "melamine".
Advantages of chipboard:
- low price;
- It does not crack, not separate, not moldy;
- due to chemical additives in the plate do not live bugs;
- Operating for more than 10 years.
Benefits of MDF:
- reasonable price for consumers with average incomes;
- strength;
- moisture resistance;
- It includes all of the above advantages chipboard.
Chipboard can be washed and cleaned - it is moisture-proof.
The choice of material depends on what is to be manufactured. Chipboard can be used in the manufacture of furniture designed for office, home, shop, supermarket. MDF is better to opt for baby furniture.
High temperatures are not afraid of him.
fibreboard production allows to produce products at affordable prices for a variety of interiors. Due to the MDF and chipboard furniture each house will be filled with comfort, warmth and comfort.
His dignity, in addition to all of the above, it is considered a great opportunity to simulate different textures, mostly - imitation wood texture.
Pay attention to the formaldehyde content standards in furniture.
