UltraStock Premium MDF combines super-refined fiber resources and proven production processes to produce defect-free panels with the machinability and finishing characteristics you need for maximum efficiency.
Thanks to its high-quality fiber furnish and consistent density, UltraStock Premium cuts and routs cleanly. Decorative edge profiles and intricate contours deep in the core are also easily produced.
UltraStock Premium can also be painted, printed, stained, veneered or laminated with excellent results. Machined edges are smooth and perform equally well for either wet or dry film edge finishing.
