2. Medium-density fibreboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

   A sample of MDF. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. [1] MDF is generally denser than plywood.

   MDF is denser and more rigid than standard particle board. Compared to solid wood trim, MDF baseboard has the advantage of being consistent in thickness and profile. It resists warping, swelling, and shrinking that can occur with natural wood. [4] MDF provides a smooth, stable surface for painting that resists absorption of paint.

5. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

   Large self-supporting wooden roof built for Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, man-made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation [1] to form ...

6. Plywood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

   It is an engineered wood from the family of manufactured boards, which include plywood, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), and particle board (or chipboard). All plywoods bind resin and wood fibre sheets (cellulose cells are long, strong and thin) to form a composite material. The sheets of wood are stacked such that ...

7. Wood fibre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fibre

   In the dry-process waste timber is dried and ground up into fibres, then mixed with a synthetic glue called PMDI (polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) is a polyurethane based glue which is used in fairly small quantities (3-4% by mass). This is essentially the same glue use in OSB and MDF.
