Medium density overlay panel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medium density overlay panel, or MDO panel, is a paintable surface made of plywood.
[edit] Development
Originally developed for sign painting and concrete formwork industries, MDO is also used for other applications as a paintable surface.
It is a plywood product, with a paper face overlaid on the plywood substrate with an exterior grade (usually) phenolic adhesive. MDO is designed to have a smooth paint receptive surface. One or both faces can be faced with paper, and is found in 4' x 8' sheets from 3/8" to over an inch in thickness.
