Plain MDF

Plain MDF, or Medium-Density Fiberboard, is an engineered wood product. It’s made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, which are then combined with wax and a resin binder. This mixture is formed into panels by applying high temperature and pressure.

MDF is generally denser than plywood and is stronger and denser than particle board. It’s typically composed of 82% wood fiber, 9% urea-formaldehyde resin glue, 8% water, and 1% paraffin wax. The density is typically between 500 and 1,000 kg/m.

Plain MDF is known for its high internal bond strength, enhanced modulus of rupture, thickness, and elasticity. It has a smooth surface, free from knots and kinks, making it easy to cut or carve. It’s commonly used in interior or exterior construction projects, cabinetry, furniture-making, and similar applications.
