EPD: Medium density fiberboard (MDF), 600-730 kg/m3, moisture content 4-8% (Unilin Group)

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is a wood based panel that is produced from wood fibres. The board consists of a mix of wood fibres of different species that are bonded together by a thermohardening glue. The board is a single layer product with a homogeneous, fine core and surface layers that are densified to get the right surface quality. MDF is often used as a base material in the furniture industry (kitchen, bathroom furniture, interior finishing) and for internal decoration. The surface allows many different types of coatings and surface finishes to be applied. The board is especially suited for applications where a fine core structure is needed.
