ArmorCore. |
|
| Panels combine the low weight and high strength advantages of veneer cored panels with the superior flatness and higher density of MDF. ArmorCore panels are stiffer, lighter and stronger than composition panels of comparable thickness, yet the MDF cross bands match the best composition surface characteristics. |
|
Improved Match Inability. |
|
| Armor Core has excellent machine ability , so router cuts leave crisp, clean edges. Because only the surface is MDF, the wear on machine tools is significantly reduced. |
|
| Eliminates Telegraphing. |
|
The MDF Cross bands eliminate the telegraphing of core imperfections common to Veneer cored panels. overlaying with low pressure laminates requires Armor Core Plus. |
|
| Stiffness. |
|
Modulus of elasticity is 50% higher than particleboard and 25% higher than MDF panels. |
|
| Superior Surface. |
|
MDF cross bands give Armor Core the surface hardness, superior density and uniform texture of a completely composite panel. |
|
| Applications. |
|
Standard Armor Core features five ply construction with MDF crossbands and is suitable for use with wood veneer or high pressure laminate overlays. Armor Core plus is constructed with higher grade center plies which are required when overlaying with thin veneers & paper Laminates. |
|
| Critical Tolerances. |
|
| ArmorCore Standard or Plus can be manufactured to meet tolerances of +/- .005 in nominal thickness above one-half inch. |
