Mdf vs plywood...
Medium-density fibreboard
Engineered wood product
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) 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.[1] MDF is generally denser than plywood.
Mdf properties
It is made up of separated fibre but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and denser than particle board.[2]
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.[3]
Over time, the term "MDF" has become a generic name for any dry-process fibreboard.
Physical properties
[edit]MDF is typically made up of 82% wood fibre, 9% urea-formaldehyde resin glue, 8% water, and 1% paraffin wax.[4] The density is typically between 500 and 1,000 kg/m3 (31 and 62 lb/cu ft).[5] The range of density and classification as lig
