Hello there. I came across your query regarding whether is MDF waterproof when painted. The answer is no, painting the MDF doesn't make it waterproof. When you apply paint over MDF, it creates a film on the surface that has the ability to resist a bit of moisture. So, it can prevent water damage up to a certain extent, but it doesn’t mean that the MDF can go through extreme levels of damage. There are some things you can do to waterproof MDF. I am sharing them below.

How to Waterproof MDF?
Here are some ways through which you can waterproof MDF:
You can paint the MDF with moisture-resistant wood sealant or varnish.
You can also use manufactured moisture-resistant MDF, which is a bit more expensive than standard MDF but will do the job.
These two methods will work well to counter water damage. But, if the exposure to moisture is prolonged, MDF will get damaged even though you’ve applied a lot of protection.
Although painting MDF is a good way to prevent mould and dampness. This will turn out to be really helpful if you are keeping the MDF in high-moisture rooms. This is all about is painted MDF waterproof. I hope this helps.
