Product
Warranty
GoldenEdge MDF carries a 12 month warranty against faulty materials
or workmanship by the manufacturer to the extent of replacement
of the product but not including any indirect or consequential loss
subject to the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. This
warranty applies only where the product has been used in accordance
with the recommendations. Any defect must be advised to the manufacturer
within 21 days of determination or from the day such defect should
have become known. Nelson Pine Industries Ltd reserves the right
to change specifications contained in this publication without notice.
Product
Performance
GoldenEdge MDF should not be used in exterior applications, should
not be exposed to water or high humidity situations (saunas, shower
cabinets) and should be kept clear of nearby heat sources such as
solid fuel heaters and free standing fireplaces. GoldenEdge is manufactured
specifically for applications such as high quality furniture and
joinery, using urea formaldehyde resin manufactured expressly for
Nelson Pine Industries Ltd. Formaldehyde concentrations in areas
without proper ventilation are significantly reduced by sealing
all exposed surfaces and edges with two coats of paint or polyurethane.
GoldenEdge MDF used for Mouldings, Grooved Door Jambs and Stair
Stringers is manufactured using high moisture resistant MDF.
Durability
GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings and Door
Jambs will be durable for 50 years when used in dry interior environments
(i.e. not saunas, spa rooms or shower rooms). When used in wet rooms
(e.g. laundries and bathrooms) the provisions of NZBC E3 must be
complied with and an impervious coating applied to GoldenEdge. The
bottom of GoldenEdge floor level trim will swell and eventually
deteriorate if exposed to persistent or cyclic wetting.

resulting in asthma, and by skin contact resulting in dermatitis.
Wood dust is classified as a known carcinogen. Repeated inhalation
of wood dust over many years may cause nasal cancer. Formaldehyde
is classified as a probable carcinogen.
Storage

Safe
Work Practice

and AS/NZS 1716 and eye protection conforming with AS/NZS 1337 must
be worn. Offcuts, shavings and dust must be disposed of in a manner
