MDF MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD WITH HIGH MACHINABILITY, WHICH ALLOWS FOR ROUNDED FINISHES WITH A SPECIAL TOUCH OF BEAUTY AND DESIGN. MADEFIBRA MADEFIBRA ultra MADEFIBRA BP MADEFIBRA BP ultra MADEFIBRA PD 6
Enhanced resistance, easier execution, and guaranteed origin. MDF Medium Density Fiberboard - is produced by Duratex under the brand name MaDeFibra. This type of fiberboard is made from selected reforestation of pine and eucalyptus wood fibers. These fibers, which are bonded with a synthetic thermosetting resin, are consolidated by heat and pressure into a solid, highly-resistant fiberboard panel with smooth surfaces. Uncoated MaDeFibra is an extraordinary product due to its high machinability, a feature that distinguishes this Duratex product from the other wood panels. It can be undercut and turned on lathe, thus allowing for different finish possibilities. In the uncoated fiberboard category, Duratex also offers MaDeFibra Ultra with double protection - against humidity and termites and its exclusive green core which allows for easy identification of the product. Easy execution of finishes is a great differentiating feature of MaDeFibra fiberboard. Thus its surfaces, without final finish, behave in a way that is similar to or better than that of massive wood, thus eliminating prior surface preparation. MaDeFibra fiberboard surfaces make an excellent substrate for all types of painting and coating. MaDeFibra is also available with coating MaDeFibra BP with melamine laminates on one or both sides. When coated on both sides MaDeFibra fiberboard becomes an even more advantageous product, since it does not require additional finishing, and its use eliminates production steps and saves time. MaDeFibra BP s quality is taken so seriously that each fiberboard panel is individually identified, and bears its product name, the name of the place where it was made, and the date and time of sanding, thus allowing for it to be traced and providing total product reliability. MaDeFibra PD, in its turn, is MDF for doors, partition walls, and furniture, mainly for use for cabinet and drawer dividers, backs and bottoms. When used for these purposes, it is available in neutral colored patterns allowing harmonious combinations with the other patterns available in the Duratex fiberboard product line. Another option in coated fiberboard is MaDeFibra BP Ultra. It features protection against humidity, termites and bacteria, and can be identified by its exclusive green core. All variants of this Duratex fiberboard are the result of a careful production process carried out in technologically advanced facilities, this allows the company to provide the market with quality products of guaranteed origin and excellence. 7
MADEFIBRA BP is MADEFIBRA fiberboard coated with low-pressure melamine laminate. Owing to hot-pressing, the laminate fuses to the surface of the board, thus forming a solid, inseparable panel.

Easier workability with quality assurance. MDP stands for Medium Density Particleboard. It is a new generation of engineered wood panels manufactured by Duratex with the world s most advanced technologies, which allow for obtaining a homogeneous particleboard of great stability and with flat, smooth surfaces. MaDePan s excellence begins with the raw-materials, which are made from eucalyptus trees carefully grown by Duratex. Like all products manufactured by the company, MDP is made at manufacturing plants that excel in their use of technology, under strict international quality-control standards. This ensures the product s features: great tensile and bending strength, low water absorption and less warping. In addition, it is a fiberboard of high superficial density, which allows for excellent finish in painting and coating. MaDePlac BP s quality is taken so seriously that each fiberboard is individually identified, and bears its product name, the name of the place where it was made, and the date and time of sanding, thus allowing for it to be traced and providing total product reliability. MaDePlac FF, in its turn, is coated with finish foil-like cellulosic film especially treated with varnish, which allows for different gloss levels or prepares for later varnishing. Each one of these panels is designed for specific uses, and provides benefit that important due to its feature and excellence. Duratex s MDP is also available with coating in two variants: MaDePlac BP with melamine laminate coating on one or both sides. When coated on both sides MaDeFibra fiberboard becomes an even more advantageous product in the furniture industry, since it does not require additional finishing, and its use eliminates production steps and saves time. 13

HARDBOARD HIGH-DENSITY FIBERBOARDS MADE OF REFORESTATION EUCALYPTUS WOOD. DURATREE DURAPLAC duraplac bp 18
VERSATILITY, DIVERSITY OF PATTERNS AND INTERNATIONAL QUALITY CONTROL. Hardboard is a high-density fiberboard manufactured by Duratex from reforestation eucalyptus wood. This wood, which is previously selected and certified, is turned into fibers, which, upon processing, arrange themselves into a flat structure and, under heat and pressure, are consolidated without the addition of synthetic resins. Denser and more uniform than conventional wood, the product is widely used in the furniture, automobile and civil construction industries, in addition to other uses, such as packaging manufacture. The countless possibilities offered by this type of panel, which can be printed on, painted, coated with lacquer or other coating materials, contribute to its versatility. Owing to its finishing, Duraplac targeted to be used for doors, partition walls and furniture, mainly as cabinet and drawer dividers and bottoms. For such a purpose, it is available in tens of colors allowing harmonious combinations with MaDeFibra BP and MaDePlac and FF patterns. Duratex also offers Duraplac BP, the main face of which is coated in melamine laminate. It is available in neutral colored patterns allowing harmonious combinations with the different patterns available in the other Duratex panel product lines. Duratree, Duraplac and Duraplac BP are panels made from quality-assured raw-materials with technologies that make them products that meet the strictest international quality control Standards. Duratex offers two variants of the product which fully meet the needs of consumers. Duratree is the uncoated hardboard that takes different types of finishes. Duraplac is the hardboard the main face of which is painted in wood and one-color patterns, and has a semi-matte or glossy finish. 19
