ABSTRACT
This study aimed to analyze the waterproofing MDF with different coatings. For this, a comparative study was conducted with the following coatings on MDF: Vegetable polyurethane resin on castor oil-based, acrylic lacquer and marine varnish. To carry out the research, sewed up the samples in sequence, they received the coatings, and then we performed the test water absorption. As a result, the polyurethane resin to castor oil-based coating was presented the best results, that is, lower levels of water absorption lower thickness swelling and volume. Finally, it is believed that the study of waterproofing MDF plant originated from polyurethane castor oil is beneficial because it is a renewable source of material.
