FIBERBOARD (MDF)

Medium Density Fiberboard, or MDF, is manufactured from a wood fiber/resin combination that is formed into a mat of random fiber orientation, then hot pressed and finished. Wood chips and sawdust from a variety of wood species, as well as additives introduced during the manufacturing process, are the raw materials that give MDF the flexibility to meet the performance requirements of many different end use applications. MDF provides a superior surface for today's high tech finishes including lacquers, foils, thin paper laminates and other popular coatings. It has excellent machinability characteristics resulting in clean, sharp edges in cutting and drilling operations; particularly useful in a CNC routing machine. MDF is a panel with high strength lending itself to fabrication with a wide variety of fasteners including screws and staples.

Because of the manner in which it is manufactured, MDF is available in a variety of panel sizes for specialized applications. Included in our stock are a number of sizes of moisture resistant fiberboard. While not waterproof, think about moisture resistant MDF where you have higher moisture content in your application.
