3 me 04:15pm Monday 22nd July 2013 EST Report Abuse MDF is a type of board used for backing. MDF stands for Medium-density fiberboard. Mediumdensity fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much denser than particle board.
