Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fiber, 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 fiber but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and denser than particle board.
The name derives from the distinction in densities of fibreboard. Large-scale production of MDF began in the 1980s, in both North America and Europe.[
Over time, the term "MDF" has become a generic name for any dry-process fibreboard.
MDF is typically made up 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/m3 (31 and 62 lb/cu ft). The range of density and classification as light-, standard-, or high-density board is a misnomer and confusing. The density of the board, when evaluated in relation to the density of the fiber that goes into making the panel, is important. A thick MDF panel at a density of 700-720 kg/m3 (44-45 lb/cu ft) may be considered as high density in the case of softwood fiber panels, whereas a panel of the same density made of hardwood fibers is not regarded as so. The evolution of the various types of MDF has been driven by differing needs for specific applications.
