Medium Density Fiberboard is manufactured from pressure-cooked wood chips which are broken down into fibers and combined with resin and wax and pressed into panels. The compressed fibers make it very dense. It is an inexpensive alternative to plywood, used in many applications ie. cabinets, shelving, substrate for laminate and for interior use only. However, it is much heavier than plywood (95lbs for 3⁄4” 4' x 8' panels) and has inferior screw holding capabilities compared to standard veneer core plywood. If it gets wet it may swell. The MDF core plywood has outstanding surface smoothness that prevents grain telegraphing. It is true to size. Edges can be routed into many different profiles. (For exterior fiberboard see Medex).
