Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a non-structural wood panel product constructed using wood residues from the production of primary wood products. MDF is produced by blending these wood residues with resin(s), resin catalyst, and wax, followed by curing under pressure and heat. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) is the most commonly used resin for MDF, however other resins such as melamine-urea formaldehyde or polymeric isocyanate resins may be used when moisture resistance is specified or a no added formaldehyde (NAF) resin is desired. This CP models a standard MDF product made with UF resin. Note that MDF intended for exterior applications may contain a fungicide.
