MDF (Medium-density fiberboard) and chipboard are engineered wood products composed of wood fibers, chips, or particles bonded with resins and shaped into sheets through heat and pressure. These materials serve as cost-effective alternatives to solid wood, offering consistent quality and tailored characteristics for diverse applications in construction, furniture manufacturing, and interior design.

The primary product categories of MDF and chipboard include medium-density fiberboard, chipboard, and edgeband. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is created by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, often mixed with resin and wax, and then compressed into panels under high heat and pressure. These versatile materials find use in various applications such as cabinetry, flooring, molding, doors, millwork, packaging systems, and more, serving residential, commercial, and institutional sectors.
