In 2002 the Merbok Group successfully installed and commissioned it’s first MDF production line in Horana Sri Lanka. In late 2004 Merbok commissioned it’s second production line for the production of “thin” MDF as well as a short cycle laminating line. In 2011 the company added a second short cycle laminating line increasing the production of value-added product including larger laminated panel sizes.
The skilled production team at the high technology factory produces MDF products in the range of 2.2mm to 30mm in standard and moisture resistant grades to exacting international quality standards. The factory is also capable of producing a wide range of high-density products for special applications as well as the range of GlobalArt Laminated MDF Products.1
HDF (High-Density Fibreboard/Hardboard) is like MDF in that it is a man-made composite panel product that is manufactured from compressed wood fibres. It is a stronger, harder product than MDF with a typical density of up to 900kg/m3. HDF is predominantly used in laminate flooring products where this density is required, though other uses include door skins and underlayment.
