Water DAMAGE on Kitchen Cabinets? (Plywood / MDF Ultra / MDF / Particleboard)

We decide to run a water resistance test on this 4 materials used on cabinet manufacturing.
(Plywood / MDF Ultra / MDF / Particleboard)
We left all samples into a 5mm water plate, simulating a leak under the sink for example.
After 2 hours we can see the results and how each material behaved.
The materials used, had no finish on the edges. We can assume that when a finish is applied to the edges, all materials, will last longer.
Disclaimer:
Please remember that no matter how good is the material, if you have a leaking for too long, none of these materials will resist the water damage. Not even solid wood.

Thanks for doing this so i can see the result without actually doing this. Truly

[@silochi_industrial]

thank you Ghani!

very educational, it just whicks it up like a sponge! maybe whick is a good name for a disposable cloth. :)

The green MDF is specifically designed as water-resistant - and marketed as such (well, here in the UK it is).
So I'd be surprised if it _weren't_ water-resistant!

[@silochi_industrial]

it is indeed. But if exposed to TOO much water, for too much time, it will damage for sure.

When the cabinet door has expanded due to kettle steam is there a way to flatten it back? Material is mdf like the middle materials in your video. Thanks

[@silochi_industrial]

Not really my friend. After it expands, there is no way back.

[@emieldebruijn4804]

Thankfully with humans there is a way back when they expand.

[@VidarrKerr]

OSB is one of the best. You should include it.

[@silochi_industrial]

Maybe in the next one! thanks for the feedback

[@DSP_2.0]

Can the water damage continue even after the water source is removed?

[@silochi_industrial]

It will not continue expanding, but for sure the piece will loose it´s mechanical / strenght property.
