Product Description
Medium-density fiberboard, commonly known as MDF, is an engineered wood panel made from lignocellulosic fibers bonded together with a synthetic resin binder. It belongs to the family of dry process fiberboards and sits in density between particleboard and hardboard. The board is a composite rather than a single compound, so no molecular formula applies; its main constituents are wood fibers built from cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, together with a resin binder and small amounts of wax and other additives. It is traded as flat panels with a smooth, uniform face and a fine, homogeneous fiber structure. Because the fibers are felted without a preferred grain direction, the panel behaves in a similar way along and across its length, and its edges machine cleanly. Key properties include high density, good dimensional stability, an even surface that accepts laminates and veneers, and only moderate resistance to moisture in standard interior grades.
