Fire rated MDF is a type of medium density fiberboard that has been treated with special fire-retardant chemicals to improve its fire resistance properties. It is a composite wood material made from wood fibers and resin, and is widely used in construction and furniture manufacturing.

Fire rated MDF is available in a range of thicknesses and densities, which can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. In general, fire rated MDF has a higher density and thickness than standard MDF, which helps to improve its fire resistance properties.

The thickness of fire rated MDF typically ranges from 6mm to 25mm, with the most common thicknesses being 12mm and 18mm. Thicker MDF can offer better fire resistance, but it may also be more expensive and difficult to work with.

The density of fire rated MDF can range from 600 kg/m3 to 900 kg/m3, with higher densities generally providing better fire resistance. Fire rated MDF with a density of 700-750 kg/m3 is most commonly used in construction and furniture manufacturing.

It is important to note that the thickness and density of fire rated MDF can impact its weight and handling characteristics, as well as its cost. When choosing fire rated MDF, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the project and select a product that meets the necessary fire rating and performance specifications.

Application: Furniture/ Construction/Decoration/Door/Flooring/Wall

Fire rated MDF is often used in building construction for areas where fire safety is a concern, such as wall linings, partitions, and ceilings. It can also be used for furniture pieces, particularly in public buildings like schools, hospitals and offices.

The fire rating of MDF is determined by its ability to withstand fire for a specified period of time. Fire rated MDF is rated based on its performance in a fire, and is given a classification such as Class A, Class B, or Class C. The higher the classification, the better the fire resistance of the MDF.

It is important to note that fire rated MDF is not fireproof, but rather it can withstand fire for a certain amount of time, giving people a chance to evacuate the building and firefighters time to extinguish the fire. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for installation and use of fire rated MDF to ensure optimal fire resistance performance.
