	Medium-density fibreboard
		Medium-density fibreboard (MDF), is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibres, combining it with wax and resin, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.
		Low density fibreboard, such as caneite, ranges in density from 160 to 450 kg/m³, while high density fibreboard, such as masonite, has a density of around 1000 kg/m³.
		Its name derives from the distinction in densities of fibreboard.

		Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a non-structural product used primarily in the furniture and cabinet industry.
		MDF is a higher grade of composite panel than particleboard due to its machinability and tight edge appearance.
		MDF is made from by-products of primary and secondary wood manufacturing plants.

	Northwest Forest Industry - Panel Manufacturing
		Medium Density Fibreboard is a construction panel which is widely used as a substitute for plywood, particleboard and solid lumber.
		MDF is made in a process where woodchips are broken down into their natural cellulose fibres and resin and wax is added.
		MDF can be made from 100% recovered fiber, thus reducing the amount of wood waste being sent to landfills, slowing deforestation and preserving natural habitats.

	PEACOCK - MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
		PEACOCK MDF is manufactured for internal applications and should not be exposed to water or high humidity environments such as bathrooms It should be kept clear of heat sources such as stoves and heaters.
		PEACOCK MDF physical properties provide natural resistance attack by the common household wood borer and provided the panel does not reach 20% moisture content for extended periods it is also resistant to fungal decay.
		PEACOCK MDF board has a good bonding strength and resistance to compression and so can be finished by a variety of secondary processes such as flooring, partitions and tabletops.

		Medium density fibreboard is used mostly for mouldings and furniture.
		The venture has been a success as Del-Tin -- which produces medium density fibreboard -- has seen a 12 to 15-per-cent increase in production, savings in glue costs, savings in fibre costs as less finishing is required, a better appearance and a more-consistent product, says Biederstadt.

	Wood Composites - Recent Publications
		Abstract: Due to the moisture and temperature gradients developed during hot pressing of medium density fibreboard (MDF), residual stresses occur within the board as it equilibrates to room conditions.
		The face density region of the density profile was further described as either a narrow density peak or a wide density peak, referring to the degree of density change within the face itself.
		The greater thickness swell in the surface layers of MDF suggests that efforts to improve dimensional stability of MDF should be focused on stabilizing the high-density surface layers.

		BIS Shrapnel Forestry Group's report, Medium Density Fibreboard in the Pacific Rim, 1999-2004, observes that the Asian economic crisis threw the industry into sharp reverse, creating a much larger over-supply than expected.
		The glut in the US$3.1 billion market for the timber substitute, medium density fibreboard (MDF), will be rapidly swallowed up as demand outstrips supply possibly as early as this year, says a new study.
		MDF, a board that can substitute for particleboard, plywood or solid timber, was first produced in the US in the 1960s.
