Lightweight MDF

Building materials such as plywood, MDF, particle board, LVL, Parallam and laminated beams are standard building materials that have been around for years. The newest technology on the forefront of evolutionary building materials includes honeycomb composite materials, like those used in the aircraft industry.

Introducing Lightweight MDF

lightweight-mdf-sing-panelsSing Core is raising the bar for composite building materials by combining the best technology with more traditional materials resulting in super hybrids, such as lightweight plywood, lightweight MDF, lightweight particle board, honeycomb plywood, honeycomb MDF and honeycomb particle board that all have superior structural strength.

Lightweight MDF Characteristics

Available in any size; – in any length, any width, any thickness

Lighter weight. Reduce the weight of not only MDF, but any building material by replacing its core with sing Core (which weighs little more than air). 4 x8 sheets easily managed by one person

Superior strength. Inserting and fusing sing Core to MDF or any other surface material greatly increases strength and structural integrity due to the patented foam-infused vertical wood grain torsion box design

Insulated. Pre-insulated Sing Core provides benefits such as R-values starting at R3 to R6.5 and up, sound-deadening qualities

Exterior material options. While MDF is a common exterior material for effective use of sandwiching Sing Core it can be fused with nearly any building material including aluminum, concrete, FRP, plywood or stainless steel just to name a few.

Eco-friendly. Manufactured in the USA with low-energy production, no toxic waste, formaldehyde-free glue, natural wood fiber torsion box and recycled foam

Longevity. In a world when most building materials are disposable, Sing Core outperforms any other building material and the resulting products can last centuries.

Lightweight Composite Technology

lightweight-mdf-bookshelvesSing Core composite materials are many times stronger than those used by Boeing and in Air Bus and are available to you at a fraction of the price. See our comparison table.

4 x 8 sheets of MDF are very heavy and difficult to manage on the table saw in millwork environments and can be associated with on-the-job injuries due to the weight issue, as well as on the construction site if using several people to move, manipulate or install the MDF product. Sing Core’s composite MDF is lightweight and combats the problems associated with MDF’s density. While MDF is an excellent building material it is simply too heavy for large applications or widths unless fused with Sing Core making it a more structurally sound and lightweight fiber board.

Imagine the possibilities of a single person being able to work with a couple of 4×8 sheets of MDF at a time, a material with almost endless applications matching your requirements and specifications including moisture resistant, fire retardant and even bullet-proof.

Take the Google Challenge

Google search lightweight panel, lightweight door core, lightweight furniture, and you will see how this new technology is impacting the manufacture of structural materials especially in terms of lightweight, high strength and Eco-friendliness.

Sing Core is isotropic (having identical values of a property in all directions) and adds superior strength to MDF materials that is bonded with making it easier to manage and adds strength to longer spans of MDF, where an unsupported MDF might fail without the patented vertical grain torsion box structure.

Now you can use Medium Density Fiberboard with confidence when infused with Sing Core. Eco-friendly Sing Core greatly enhances the structural integrity of the MDF without adding formaldehyde and reduces the overall weight of the MDF making it an extremely effective building material.

When it comes to composite materials, Sing Core’s Lightweight MDF is head and shoulders above the rest and competitively priced to gain wide acceptance by forward-thinking plywood distributors and millworks.

Introducing Sing Core to your customers and clients will increase customer satisfaction by giving them the technological and sustainable edge that helps to make the world a better place.

Advanced Composites

Sing-composite-panel-core-torsion-box-foam-hybrid-lightweight-high-strengthSing Core technology is manifested in so many ways we’ve tried to narrow down the basics to make the possibilities easy to comprehend.

What are Sing Composites?
Sing Composites are the combining of different abundant raw materials for the greater good. Sing Composites are:

  • Stronger
  • Lightweight
  • Eco-friendly

While reducing:

  • Waste
  • Energy
  • Production costs
  • Labor costs
  • Shipping costs

To understand Sing Core technology, you must understand that in all Sing Core products the Sing Core is the actual core of the product that produces the vast number of characteristics that make up the Sing Core line.

Sing Core with two exterior skins is a Sing Sandwich Panel, adding solid edges makes a Sing Panel. Basically, all the products listed below are Sing Panels, separated into shape, size and dimensional categories and primarily feature wood exteriors, but could be available in nearly any exterior material. We do all this, and make it affordable to have the greatest impact on the world.

All Sing Core products share the same exceptional characteristics.

Best Seller, the most versatile: 2×12

There are three basic formats for demonstrating the attributes of the Sing Core material, they are:

1. Sing Plywood

Sing-composite-engineered-plywood-panels-lightweight-high-strengthSing Plywood enables you to use a lightweight, strong, wooden torsion-box panel empowering you to create anything from basic furniture, large sliding doors or to create affordable housing with unparalleled longevity.

  • available in large almost seamless oversized panels
  • as large as 12 ft wide x 48 ft in length
  • as thin as 1/2 inch
  • Can be as much as 6 inches thick

Oversize Sing Plywood will have the tightest seam that will not shift due to patented technology, making it guaranteed to maintain structural integrity and seal, unlike solid wood.

With an appearance identical to traditional plywood, the physical characteristics are nothing short of shocking in comparison, as Patented Sing Plywood
