What are the properties of MDF?

Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a wood substitute form which is made from fine wood fibres in a resin which is bonded under heat and pressure. It is manufactured by a dry process at a lower temperature than other fibreboards e.g hardboard. The natural glues and resins contained within the wood are not effective. MDF therefore uses artificial bonding agents / resins. The resin used is usually urea formaldehyde, but some fibreboard including exterior or marine quality board will use stronger glues such as phenol formaldehyde. MDF may be used instead of plywood or chipboard. It is dense, flat, stiff, has no knots and is easily machined. It is made up of fine particles and therefore does not have an easily recognisable surface grain.

Can be obtained in natural colour in various thicknesses or self coloured. Requires sealing if likelyhood of moisture ingress.

On the aftermarket, I'd say a Sherwood Molded dash kit. Not too big of a fan of their flat wood dash kits but their molded ones are truly exceptional in all aspects because they wrap around each original trim part making it look as if it was factory installed. A good place to pick one up is at LGT Automotive - www.lgtautomotive.com - 1.866.410.3274 Hope this helps. Ciao, Trevor M.
