Characteristic

1. Uniform material and smooth surface

Made by pressing fine wood fibers, without the knots or texture differences of natural wood, suitable for fine processing such as carving, pasting, and painting.

High surface flatness, commonly used for furniture, door panels, etc. that require smooth finishes.

2. Easy to process, strong plasticity

It can be cut, drilled, and carved with ordinary woodworking tools, and is not prone to edge breakage, suitable for complex shapes such as European lines and hollow designs.

Can be coated with PVC film, solid wood veneer, or directly sprayed with paint, with strong decorative properties.

3. Good stability, not easily deformed

The fiber structure is uniform, less affected by temperature and humidity, and less prone to cracking or warping than natural wood (but still requires moisture-proof treatment in humid environments).

4. Environmental friendliness (depending on the adhesive)

Ordinary MDF uses urea formaldehyde adhesive, which may release formaldehyde (choosing E0/E1 environmental standards can reduce risks).

Some high-end products use MDI glue (formaldehyde free glue), which is more environmentally friendly.

5. Moderate price

Cheaper than solid wooden boards, slightly more expensive than particleboard, with high cost-effectiveness, suitable for large-scale production.

6. Disadvantages

Not waterproof: prone to swelling when in contact with water, requiring special treatment (such as moisture-proof MDF or surface edge sealing).

Weak nail grip: The screw is prone to loosening after repeated disassembly. It is recommended to use pre drilled holes or specialized fasteners.

Heavy weight: high density, more labor-intensive to transport and install than solid wood.
