RAW MDF & HDF

HDF (high-density fiberboard) or MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are composite boards that are used in woodworking to make cabinetry, wall panels, shelving, and furniture. They can be pasted with veneers or laminates on one or both sides or can be finished with paint. Standard forms of MDF have densities as follows: Average density: 700 – 800kg/m3 Core density: 600 – 700kg/m3 Face density: 1000 – 1100kg/m3 These are now considered to be part of a wide range of dry-process fibreboards with the following densities. HDF: Above 800kg/m3 LDF: Below 650kg/m3 ULDF: Below 550kg/m3 Due to variation between brands, the weight of MDF is not constantly proportional to thickness. Typical weights, based on standard MDF with average density 750kg/m3.
