MDF (medium-density fiberboard) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibers, but can be used as a building material similar to plywood. It is stronger and much denser than regular particle board. Grain and color may vary from sheet to sheet.
