Fiberboard is a panel made of resin, wax and finely separated wood fibers. There are two types of fiberboard, both of which are manufactured at Clarion Boards: MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and HDF (High Density Fiberboard).
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
MDF is a composite panel product consisting of cellulose fibers combined with a synthetic resin or other suitable bonding system and joined together under heat and pressure. The surface of MDF is flat, smooth, uniform, dense and free of knots and grain patterns, all of which make finishing operations easier and more consistent, especially for demanding users such as direct printing and thin laminates. The homogeneous density profile of MDF allows intricate and precise machining and finishing techniques for superior finished products.
MDF is widely used in the manufacture of furniture, cabinets, door parts, moldings, millwork and laminate flooring. MDF panels are manufactured in a variety of dimensions and densities, providing the opportunity to design the end product with the specific MDF needed.
HDF (High Density Fiberboard)
High Density Fiberboard (HDF) is hard and dense and considered the most stable of engineered wood products. HDF consists of dry wood fibers that are mixed with polymer resin and bonded together using heat and high pressure. Unlike solid wood, HDF is very homogeneous with no grain. A wood veneer can be glued onto it to give the appearance of solid wood.
HDF has many substrate users and is typically utilized in applications that require a hard surface and high resistance to impact such as in flooring, construction, furniture, appliances, automobiles, and cabinetry applications.
