GoldenEdge MDF
GoldenEdge® Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made from wood fibres, combining with wax and a resin binder, then forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. NPIL is one of the world’s largest single-site producers of medium-density fibreboard. GoldenEdge® MDF is distributed across New Zealand and exported to markets around the world.
Perfectly suited for meeting the needs of kitchen and furniture manufacturers, joinery companies and builders, GoldenEdge® MDF boards have smooth homogeneous surfaces which are ideal for lacquering and are easily machined. Using advancements in technological innovation, we produce superior quality MDF and offer an unsurpassed range of board densities and thicknesses.
GoldenEdge® MDF has high mechanical resistance and good dimensional stability against temperature variations and dampness in the environment. This is why GoldenEdge® MDF is a product with a wide range of applications for use.
All GoldenEdge® MDF products are produced from 100% locally and sustainably grown radiata pine. Every part of the log is utilised in the production process in line with our environmental policies. Burning of the manufacturing residues allows us to generate our own energy for drying the wood fibre and veneers and heating the presses. We are FSC® Chain of Custody certified meaning we can guarantee our logs are sourced from responsibly managed radiata pine plantations. All GoldenEdge® MDF production meets the ISO 9001 international quality standard and ISO 14001 international environmental management systems standard.
Our GoldenEdge® MDF Panels are available in Standard E0 and Super E0 emission standards; On request CARB P2 – EPA certification can be provided. FSC® certification is also available on request, certifying the use of responsible wood.
A world leader in environmentally responsible MDF production
Established in 1986, Nelson Pine Industries is one of the world’s largest single site producers of medium density fibreboard. GoldenEdge MDF is exported to markets around the world.
From the beginning the products of Nelson Pine Industries New Zealand have led the world in meeting the needs of kitchen and furniture manufacturers, joinery companies and builders. Using the advanced technology of the Küsters continuous press, we produce superior quality MDF and offer an unsurpassed range of board densities and thicknesses.
175,000 hectares of sustainable radiata pine forests provide Nelson Pine Industries with the superior quality raw material needed to manufacture our product range. These forests reach maturity in around 28 years compared with 200 years for tropical hardwoods.
Nelson Pine Industries takes the environment seriously with production processes in place that minimise dust, water use, effluent and noise. We have developed techniques which have reduced the amount of water required in the production process by two thirds, despite having trebled the output of GoldenEdge MDF. About 70% of the energy used on site is generated by burning wood waste in high efficiency furnaces. The remainder is from electricity. Since the mid 1980s we have been leading the way in significantly reducing formaldehyde levels of GoldenEdge MDF.
