Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is widely used in the manufacturing of furniture, kitchen cabinets, door parts, mouldings, millwork and laminate flooring
MDF is a composite panel product typically consisting of cellulosic fibers combined with a synthetic resin or other suitable bonding system and joined together under heat and pressure - additives may be introduced during manufacturing to impart additional characteristics
The surface of MDF is flat, smooth, uniform, and dense
The homogeneous density profile of MDF allows intricate and precise machining and finishing techniques for superior finished products
Stability and strength are important assets of MDF, which can be machined into complex patterns that require precise tolerances
The American National Standard for Medium Density Fiberboard (ANSI A208.2) is the North American industry voluntary standard - It classifies MDF by physical and mechanical properties and identifies product grades
Specifications identified in the Standard include physical and mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances and formaldehyde emission limits
