Now many people do not do their homework before buying cabinets, which leads to many people's conceptual misunderstandings. In order to prevent everyone from learning a lesson after mistakes appear, we can understand the correct situation. In this small series, we will list four misunderstandings about cabinet plates in advance, and friends who are ready to buy cabinets should read them carefully.

Myth 1: Are moistureproof and waterproof the same property?

In many people's minds, moistureproof and waterproof can be equated. In fact, this concept is also inaccurate. Moisture-proof function is to mix moisture-proof agent into the board substrate, and the moisture-proof agent is colorless. In order to distinguish it from ordinary plates, manufacturers add green or red colors (mostly green, more advanced red) as identification marks. The moisture-proof agent has no effect on the waterproof performance of the board itself. Practice has proved that the board with moisture-proof agent and the board without moisture-proof agent have the same expansion rate when immersed in water. The so-called moisture-proof only has an effect on the moisture in the air. Moistureproof agents are rarely used abroad because they pay more attention to surface treatment and tightness of edge sealing. Shanjia reminds you here, don't blindly believe in the performance of moisture-proof board, adding too much will affect the strength of wood-based panel.
