FIELDS OF APPLICATION | ||||||||
The RAWCELL® Wood - MDF panel is used in the field of interior fittings, transportation (motor homes, trains, yachts) and design (furniture, doors, wings); Worthy of note are two particular applications: the production of loudspeakers and that of large overhead doors, with fine finishes. |
STORAGE | ||||||||
The RAWCELL® Wood - MDF panel is a product in the “semi-finished products” category and therefore is subject to further processing; we recommend storing the panels horizontally in a closed and dry environment, possibly away from heat sources and to support them along their edges. |
