Most general purpose office furniture is made from a man made product called melamine faced chipboard or MFC. This comprises a substrate, usually chipboard, but sometime medium density fibreboard, over which, on both sides is pressed a decorative paper finish impregnated with melamine resin. This process is carried out at high temperature and pressure and is called polymerisation. The result is a cost effective, hardwearing board, which is stable and resistant to scratching and abrasion. This board is then machine cut and edged and used to make the various shapes and sizes of office desks and furniture.
