MDF cut to size Wembley – Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) has become a generic name for any dry process fibreboard. Made from hardwood or softwood shavings, it is an engineered wood product that has been turned into wood fibres. When combined with wax and resin binder and placed under high temperatures and pressure, these fibres are shaped into panels.
Typically formed from a blend of 82% wood fibre, 9% formaldehyde resin glue, 8% water, and 1% paraffin wax, MDF has been produced in large scale since the 1980s. Well known as a great building material, MDF is typically denser than plywood and particleboard and boasts great cutting and drilling qualities. Its surface is smooth making it easy to paint.
