3. MDF panels (Medium density fiberboard)
The manufacturing principle (Figures 10 and 11 ) is similar to that of other particleboards or fiberboards, but here the fiber mat is compressed under high pressure (60 bar) and the binder content is adjusted to produce dense, hard boards with an excellent surface finish (very smooth and flat), and an almost constant density throughout the thickness of the boards (Figure
