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.
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
No, MDF (medium-density fiberboard) can be harmful to hamsters if ingested as it can contain formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals. It's best to use untreated wood or hamster-safe materials like kiln-dried pine or aspen for hamster cage accessories to ensure your pet's safety.
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.
