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.
Fiberboard (American English) or fibreboard (British English) is a type of engineered wood product that is made out of wood fibers. Types of fiberboard (in order of increasing density) include particle board or low-density fiberboard (LDF), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and hardboard or high-density fiberboard (HDF).
The density of hardboard is higher than 500 kg/m 3 (31 lb/cu ft), [4] usually about 800–1,040 kg/m 3 (50–65 lb/cu ft). [5] It differs from particle board and medium-density fiberboard in that the bonding of the wood fibers requires no additional adhesive, the original lignin in the wood fibers sufficing to bond the hardboard together, [ 6 ...
Natural fibreboard is recognized for its eco-friendly properties, playing a significant role in addressing climate change by capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2). According to the data of EPF, on average, the use of NFB in a single house can save up to 2 tons of CO2, an amount equivalent to that absorbed by a 750 m 2 forest area.

Wood fibres can be pressed into various types of flat boards, used as insulation, renderboard and sarking. Densities vary from 60Kg/m3 insulation boards to 180Kg/m3 render boards.
Veneer refers to thin slices of wood and sometimes bark that typically are glued onto core panels (typically, wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. They are also used in marquetry. Plywood consists of three or more layers of ...
