MDF is engineered wood made from wood fibers combined with wax and resin. It's denser than plywood but stronger than particle board. Solid carbide double spiral flutes are recommended for MDF cutting
Wood is gaining increasing attention in construction due to sustainability concerns. Wood can be used in various stages from boards to floors. Boards are economical and functional way to incorporate wood into buildings
MDF is made from wood fibre, resin, wax and water through dry process. Typical composition includes 82% wood fibre, 9% resin, 8% water, 1% wax. Production began in 1980s in North America and Europe. Fibres are separated in defibrator and bonded with wax and resin
MDF is engineered wood made from wood fibers and adhesive under high pressure. Available in thicknesses from 1/8 to 1 inch with smooth surface. Made from softwood fibers mixed with resin and wax
HDF was invented by William Mason in 1925 as 'Hardboard'. Made from wood fibres and resin with specific ratio of 10-20g resin/80-90g fibre. Has higher density (880-1040 kg/m³) than MDF (800-880 kg/m³). Stronger, more durable and better edge holding than MDF. Not waterproof but slightly better moisture resistance than MDF
Global market size expected to reach USD 419 billion by 2032. Growing at 6.9% CAGR from 2023 to 2033. Construction segment leads with 47.6% market share in 2023
