MDF, HDF
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a versatile wood-based board with good machinability. MDF has a consistent structure and density and a very smooth surface. This makes it suitable for milled, lacquered and painted finishes.
During the production of MDF, wood chips are ground into fibers and bonded with synthetic resin under heat and pressure. MDF is mainly used for the furniture industry, skirting boards, architraves, packaging material, in the door industry and in everything from book covers to shoes.
High-density fiberboard (HDF) contains more wood fibers per cubic meter than MDF board. HDF is mainly used as a core material for laminate floors.
High Density Fiberboard (HDF) is a fabricated board that is made from resin bonded wood fibers under high pressure and heat. HDF is a non-load-bearing product for indoor use in dry conditions. Due to its very fine surface, HDF is suitable for various coatings - veneering, laminating, painting and lacquering. Kronospan HDF is available in different thicknesses and with a sanded surface on one or both sides.
