Wood Panels
Duratex was founded in 1951,
whose shares are controlled by the
Itause Group and Companhia Ligna
de Investimentos. It is the largest
manufacturer of engineered wood
panels in the Southern Hemisphere.
With its factories in the states of
Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio
Grande do Sul, Duratex has ten
wood panel production lines and
an efficient logistics system. These
modern industrial facilities, which
are in constant technological
evolution, are divided into four
MDF production lines, three
MDP production lines, and three
hardboard production lines.

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.

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.

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.
