Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, often in a defibrillator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibers but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and denser than particle board.
MDF has different density, usually from 650kg/m3-800kg/m3. It can be used for furniture, packing, decoration etc.
What's the advantages of MDF?
1. MDF is very hard and dense, perfectly flat, and extremely resistant to warping. It’s also relatively inexpensive.
2. It has two super-smooth surfaces (front and back) that provide a near-perfect substrate for painting.
3. Because MDF is composed of wood byproducts, you can cut, rout and drill it using standard woodworking tools.
4. It expands and contracts less than solid wood.
5. MDF parts can be fastened together with a wide variety of nails or screws, including pocket screws.
6. MDF is an excellent substrate for wood veneer or plastic laminate.
It can be glued together with virtually any type of adhesive, including carpenter’s glue, construction adhesive and polyurethane glue.
7. MDF can be machined, routed and shaped to create decorative moldings and raised door panels—without annoying tear-out or splintering.
8. MDF is highly compatible with solid wood. For example, you can install an MDF raised panel in a cabinet-door frame cut from hardwood.
