Yes, you can definitely use edgebanding on MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). Edgebanding is a great way to finish the edges of MDF, both aesthetically and practically.
Why use MDF edgebanding?
The main reason to use MDF edgebanding is to seal the end fibers of the board in preparation for painting or finishing. MDF has a smooth surface that is ideal for painting, but the edges are porous and will absorb moisture, causing it to swell or warp. Edgebanding covers these fibers, providing a smooth edge that is ready for painting, and protects the MDF from moisture and wear.
