| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document applies to Kronospan MDF, which is composed of wood shavings, mixed with a resin (melamine urea formaldehyde – MUF). The declared unit weight is 716.7 kg/m3. LCA data were compiled using foreground data collected based on billing documents and material balances for the period between October 2020 and March 2022. The declaration holder is responsible for the underlying data and its verification. System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle-to-grave (with options) The system boundaries of the EPD follow the modular construction system as described by EN 15804. The LCA considers the following modules: A1-A3: Manufacturing of pre-products, packaging, ancillary materials, transport to the factory and production, with the associated energy supply and waste handling A4: Transport to the construction site A5: Installation into the building including disposal of packaging C1: Deconstruction (screws disposal and electricity from the screwdriver)· C2: Transport to disposal sites C3: Final product waste disposal for reuse, recycling and energy recovery C4: Waste disposal, namely incineration and landfill D: Potential for reuse, recovery and/or recycling including benefits for product incineration from module C4 | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Due to their homogeneous structure, MDF boards can be milled three-dimensionally and then painted, foil wrapped or faced with a paper decor in a membrane press. The main applications of MDF include interior design, furniture components, decorative features, cladding, partitions, areas that require protection from moisture, skirting boards / architrave and window boards / sills. | ||

| General comment on data set | MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is engineered wood products that consist of panels made from a combination of wood fibres and resin. They are applicable particularly in furniture such as doors, construction such as mouldings and indoor products. It is especially suitable for further finishing (routing, milling, lacquering, laminating and foiling) and a good substitute for solid wood. The Kronobuild® product line includes, as well as standard MDF, boards with specialist application properties moisture resistant MR MDF, Light MDF and Ultra Light MDF, Flame Retardant MDF, Deep Router MDF. | ||

| Technology description including background system | First, the wood logs go through a hacker. The obtained shavings are refined and dried. The materials are then blended with the resin and pressed to obtain panels. A finishing process is finally done to cut and pack the products. Technical data: Technical product groups covered in this EPD are MDF Light, Standard MDF, Moisture Resistant MDF, Deep Router MDF, Flame Retardant, Ultra Light MDF. Technical specification accounts for thicknesses of boards within the range of 5,5 - 38mm. Declared unit: This declaration applies to 1 m3 of Kronospan MDF panel, with a declared unit weight of 716.7 kg/m3. | ||
