MDF

    MDF is useful in many applications, particularly where particleboard was previously used. It is not useful for outdoor use because it will swell upon contact with water; nonetheless, it has better moisture tolerance than particleboard.

    Because MDF is fiber-based, it has a remarkably consistent structure. This quality makes it easy to machine or employ in woodworking applications.  MDF is often used with melamine or wood veneers MDF is a good material for cabinetry, particularly including acoustic enclosures such as loudspeakers or subwoofers due to its high sound insular properties.
