The activity generating the emissions is medium density fibreboard production, uncoated. The Reference Product is medium density fibreboard. The product medium density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product according to the standard EN 622-5. MDF typically has a density between 500 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3. Standard boards are available in Europe with thicknesses in the range of 1.8 to 60 mm. MDF is formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. Standard MDF is being used for the manufacture of tabletops, door panels and drawer fronts with moulded edges or profiled surfaces. The smooth and stable surfaces of MDF provide an excellent substrate for painting or the application of decorative foils or wood veneers. The inherent stability, good machinability, and high strength of MDF creates opportunities for it to be used as an alternative to solid wood for applications such as drawer sides, cabinet rails, mirror surrounds and mouldings. Although primarily developed for use in furniture, standard MDF is being used increasingly for shop fitments, exhibition displays, wall panelling, architectural mouldings and many other applications where its good machining and finishing characteristics are used to advantage. MDF product types are available for the use in more demanding situations like for moisture resistant, flame retardant, high density and exterior grades of MDF. Moisture resistant boards are being used for bathroom fitments, doors, window boards and other interior building applications where resistance to damp conditions or intermittent wetting are important requirements. Flame retardant boards are being used increasingly for fitted furniture, doors and panelling in public buildings and other areas which have to conform to national fire regulations. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
