MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard)
MDF is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, combining them with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. It offers a smooth, uniform surface that’s ideal for painting, veneering, and detailed CNC work. MDF is widely used in furniture, cabinetry, and interior paneling due to its affordability and versatility. Jain Plywood Company offers one of the largest varieties of MDF in India, available in multiple sizes, thicknesses, and densities to suit every application need.
