WHAT IS MDF BLANKS?
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibreator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure,MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much denser than particle board..
