★ MDF Board Medium-density fibre (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, Medium-density fibre is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, 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. Also due to its non-directional grain structure, MDF is ideal for cutting, machining and drilling without splinters or chipping. The smooth surface makes it a good choice for simple interior design pieces that will be painted, cabinets, shelving, mouldings etc. MDF is a short Acronym for MEDIUM DENSITY FIBRE. It is a high-grade composite material made out of recycled softwood and hardwood fibres compressed with wax and resin binder making it into panels by applying pressure and high temperature. ★ MDF Board Used For Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a composite product used in many home and professional projects, such as Art, Drawing, Painting, DIY Project, furniture, cabinetry, flooring and even speaker boxes due to its smooth finish, machinability, strength and consistency. Also due to its non-directional grain structure, MDF is ideal for cutting, machining and drilling without splinters or chipping. The smooth surface makes it a good choice for simple interior design pieces that will be painted, cabinets, shelving, mouldings etc. Unlike most plywoods, MDF contains no voids, and will deliver sharp edges with no tearout. MDF is well damped acoustically, thus making it a suitable material for speaker enclosures. MDF is widely used in the manufacturing of furniture, kitchen cabinets, moldings, millwork, door parts, and laminate flooring. MDF can be painted easily, however, to maintain the edges smooth you must sand the MDF board in between each step. The edges of the MDF board are more porous compared to the surface hence the first step is to seal them to make them smooth and accept the paint properly.
