The differences between medium density and high density fiberboard (mdf and hdf) do vary slightly between manufactures. These are some general facts. MDF is a product of soft woods that are broken down by a defibrator, added to wax and resin, and formed from heat and pressure. The majority of the wood comes from saw dust. It is moderately resistant to termites and mold. It can be quite moisture sensitive. HDF is made in a similar process as MDF, but is much more dense and made from exploded wood fibers and quite a bit more pressure. HDF is highly resistant to mold and infestation and not nearly as sensitive to moisture as MDF.

Is medium density fiber board is a wood?
There are three kinds of fiberboard--low-density, medium-density and high-density. All three are made by mixing powdered wood fiber and adhesive, then pressing them in a hydraulic press. Low-density fiberboard is made by compressing a foot-thick pile of fiber to 1/2" thickness. Medium-density fiberboard compresses a foot of fiber to 1/4" thickness, and high-density fiberboard compresses a foot of fiber to 1/8" thickness. Low-density fiberboard is usually coated with asphalt on one side and used as cheap sheathing under siding on houses. Medium-density fiberboard is used for a multitude of purposes, and high-density fiberboard is used for laminate flooring.
