EcoPlus MR50

West Fraser’s year-long rebuilding and updating of the WestPine mill in Quesnel, B.C. is complete and production has returned to  normal operating levels. With this significant milestone behind the company, WestPine has re-introduced its moisture resistant MDF. EcoPlus MR50 is available through all Hardwoods Distribution – Hardwoods Specialty Products and Frank Paxton Lumber distribution locations nationwide.

In addition to the smoothness and stability of EcoPlus MR50, the moisture resistant MDF is formulated to endure humid conditions. This makes it a perfect substrate for commercial applications in food service industries, institutional buildings and healthcare establishments. EcoPlus MR50 is also well suited for residential interiors such as, kitchen and bath cabinetry and interior storage systems. Mouldings and millwork also benefit from its moisture resistant qualities.

EcoPlus MR50 is composed of 100 percent western white softwoods that have a consistent light sandy color. The purity and long fibers associated with this material allow for deep, detailed profiling and precise machining and finishing techniques for superior finished products. EcoPlus MR50 is ideal for use with decorative surfaces including reconstituted or natural wood veneers, TFL, and HPL. The panels are available in ½-in., 5/8-in. and ¾-in. thicknesses. Product samples are available upon request.

EcoPlus MR50 panels are FSC controlled, and can contribute to LEED points for environmentally friendly construction. The panels contain no added urea-formaldehyde, and are rated CARB-exempt and compliant. EcoPlus MR50 meets the thickness swell and bond integrity as defined in ANSI 208.2 for the MR50 designation.
