Medium Density Fibreboard ( IS 12406-1988) - Meenal Jain - 07-22-2014

Medium Density Fibreboard is made from fine wood particles glued together under high pressure. The board is much stronger, denser and heavier than chipboard and is used to make better quality flat packed furniture. The surface is uninteresting and it can be veneered. Again it should never be used where there is moisture. Care must be taken when machining MDF as it is believed the glue in the dust can be carcinogenic (cause cancer).
