The answer is relative. Most natural woods are tested for hardness on the Janka Scale to see if it is suitable for flooring. MDF is not typically used for that purpose and density of MDF can vary by manufacturer e.g. ultra-lite MDF. Based upon some anecdotal information it is not as hard as Maple but harder than Oak or Cherry.
To know for sure you will have to apply the Janka test to the sample you intend to use to quantify the hardness.
"MDF" are the initials of "Medium Density Fiberboard".
Not at all. MDF is a man made material from hard and soft woods. There is wax and resin in MDF, both of which could prove fatal to a hamster.
soft woods are woods like pine, hard woods are woods like oak and manufactured woods is man made like mdf hope this helps a little XD
Hard
In a typical MDF, you would find a breaking down of a soft or hardwood residues along with wax and resin blinder. When this is under high pressure and heat, the forming of the panels begin.
Soft information refers to qualitative data that is subjective and difficult to quantify, such as customer satisfaction or market trends. Hard information, on the other hand, refers to quantitative data that is objective and can be easily measured, like financial statements or production numbers. Soft information is typically more open to interpretation compared to hard information.
it is hard and sometimes soft
hard
soft you can bend and hard you can not
why metallic solids are soft to hard
It completely depends on the usage. Many projects could be best built with a combination of the two. Plywood is lighter and will not split when edge nailing. A MDF edge gives you extra options for a finished product for doors and drawers.
