Moisture Resistant Medium Density Fiberboard

APPI MDF Moisture Resistant is our most eco-friendly moisture resistant solution created with a high-quality, NAF medium-density fibreboard. APPI MDF Moisture Resistant is ideal for all interior, non-structural applications where periodic humidity exposure is a factor. This environmentally friendly product contains 100% recycled and recovered wood pre-consumer fiber.

APPI MDF Moisture Resistant is available in North American standard sizes and five thicknesses and is designed with the same specifications as the Excel+ grade MDF with the same quality and uniform density that has become synonymous with Uniboard standards of excellence. It features a smooth surface ideal for shaping, machining, laminating, and painting or lacquering. APPI MDF Moisture Resistant panels are sanded to 150 grits.

APPI MDF Moisture Resistant is manufactured at our world-class MDF mill located in Mont-Laurier, Quebec.
