Unilinpanels Fibrabel Prime MDF Board
FIBRABEL PRIME MDF BOARD
FIBRABEL PRIME MDF BOARD
Primed, non-structural MDF board for industrial processing and interior applications, ready to paint
High quality MDF board (L-MDF according EN 622-5), primed on both sides with a white and even UV primer coating, suitable for an excellent and cost and time saving paint finish. Fibrabel Prime can be used for non-load bearing applications in dry conditions. This board has low formaldehyde emission (E1 class) and also meets the requirements set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB - phase 2) and EPA (TSCA - Title VI).
Fibrabel Prime is made from 100% recovered wood: 100% pre-consumer wood from waste flows from the wood industry or thinned wood from sustainable forestry and verge management. Fibrabel Prime is an original Spanolux product.

GENERAL PREPARATION OF PAINTWORK
Acclimatize the MDF boards prior to applying the finishing coating: place the panels in the area where they will be used and ensure that the level of humidity and the temperature match the circumstances of final use. This will help to prevent cracks and tension on the coated surface that may occur under highly fluctuating temperature or humidity. Repair any damage (e.g. around visible crews in the surface) using materials that are compatible with the subsequent paint system, for instance polyester fillers.
PRE-TREATMENT OF PANELS
Degrease Fibrabel Prime (e.g. using an ammonia solution or a traditional detergent); next, lightly sand the panel using relatively fine sandpaper (P180 to P320) and remove the sanding dust. Allow the surface to dry if necessary.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The MDF board must be applied in service class 1 (restrictions with regards to temperature and ambient humidity) and may only be used in biological hazard class 1 of EN 335-3. The boards must be protected from any direct contact with water. They must be stacked flat, on a pallet or using a sufficient number of cross members. Any contact with the floor must be avoided. The board will expand or shrink under variable humidity conditions. Make sure to use suitable sawing, milling and drilling tools.

FINISHING THE EDGES
The edges of Fibrabel Prime have a lower density than the surface and therefore will absorb paint more easily. The edges must be sanded thoroughly and filled – several times, if needed – with a suitable filling primer. After applying filling coatings to the edges the fibres may swell under humid conditions. Intermediate sanding is therefore necessary. There is a wide choice of filling primers and polyester fillings for the end grain of wooden sheet material available on the market.
FINISHING THE PANELS
-Finish Fibrabel Prime as needed with a brush, roller or spray gun depending on the chosen paint. Make sure to respect the basic rules of paint finishing to avoid overlapping paint marks, droplets, etc. Also make sure to follow the processing instructions provided with the chosen coating system. -Apply at least two final coatings for the best finishing result. Lightly sand in between coatings preferably using sandpaper > P200. -The material allows for finishing with latex paint. Because latex paint is more demanding in terms of adhesion, we recommend that you use a highly moisture-resistant and suitable primer
