WestPine Gold by West Fraser

General Description

WestPine Gold MDF is also a western based softwood panel. As a result of its light color, WestPine MDF is a widely accepted panel that excels in laminating, painting and machining applications. Equipped with a 10' continuous press, WestPine offers a large variety of panel sizes in thicknesses ranging from 3mm (1/8") to 3/4".

Spruce and pine sawdust is refined to a dry pulp-material and combined with resin in the manufacture of MDF.
