Ecoboard is a brand name for a solide construction boad made from cellulose fibers derived from straw. Ecoboard is manufactured for 100% wheat straw and does not emit any of the organics acids found in other MDF boards. The formaldehydr-free board is produced from a water-based slurry with an formaldehyde-free (P-MDI) adhesive. The strawboard has strength comparable to other MDF boards. | Ecoboard is a brand name for a solide construction boad made from cellulose fibers derived from straw.

Ecoboard is a brand name for a solide construction boad made from cellulose fibers derived from straw. Ecoboard is manufactured for 100% wheat straw and does not emit any of the organics acids found in other MDF boards. The formaldehydr-free board is produced from a water-based slurry with an formaldehyde-free (P-MDI) adhesive. The strawboard has strength comparable to other MDF boards.
Synonyms and Related Terms
Applications
Medex® is commonly used as a structural material for pedestals, display decks, display panels and risers.
Personal Risks
Produces fine wood dust. Potential eye and respiratory irritant. Dust should be collected by suction cleaning equipment.
Medex SDS [1]
Environmental Risks
Collection Risks
| Collection Material | Risk |
|---|---|
| Pb, Zn, Cd metals | Corrosion |
| Calcium based objects (limestone, shell, coral, pearl) | Efflorescence |
| Some color photographs | Fading |
| Pb glazed ceramics | Efflorescence |
The risks of organic acids to collections can be mitigated by using barrier materials.
