Particleboard

Particleboard is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood chips, sawmill shavings, or sawdust.  It is then bonded with a resin and formed under heat and pressure. Less expensive, denser and more uniform than conventional wood and plywood, particleboard is substituted for them when appearance and strength are less important than cost. Several grades and brands of the best particleboard available are always in stock to meet your needs.

MDF: Medium Density Fiberboard

MDF is fabricated from a wood fiber–resin combination that is formed into a homogenous mat of random fiber orientation, then hot pressed and finished. (Unlike particleboard, which is made using wood chips, etc., MDF is fabricated using a homogenous mixture of wood fibers, resulting in a much finer finish.) The resulting smooth surface is comparable to wood and has excellent machining characteristics that yield clean, sharp edges in cutting and drilling operations. MDF provides a superior surface for high-tech finishes, including lacquers, foils and thin-paper laminates.

Because of the manner in which it is manufactured, MDF is available in a variety of panels for specialized applications. For example, fire and moisture-resistant panels, super-refined and Ultralight panels are all fabricated and readily available to meet your requirements.  he fabricators' websites noted below will help you with detailed information.
