Product type
MDF, or Medium Density Fiberboard, is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers, wax, and resin that are compressed and heated to create dense sheets. It is known for its smooth surface, making it ideal for painting and veneering. MDF is commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, and decorative moldings due to its versatility and ease of machining.
| Thickness range | 3 mm to 30 mm |
| Density | 600 to 800 kg/m┬│ |
| Standard sizes | 1220 mm x 2440 mm |
| Moisture content | 8% to 12% |
| Surface finish | Smooth or textured |
When selecting MDF, consider the thickness and density that best suits your project requirements. Specify if you need moisture-resistant MDF for areas with high humidity. It's also important to indicate the desired surface finish and any specific machining requirements. Request certifications for formaldehyde emissions if needed, especially for indoor applications.
