Environmental
MDF manufactured from wood fibres mixed with resin and waxes, which are then hot pressed to the required thickness. These wood fibres sourced from environmentally friendly forest thinnings, recycled wood/pallets, and sawdust.
Safety
All dust can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. MDF dust is no exception. Correct PPE such as dust masks and goggles should be worn as a matter of routine. Workshop machines should be fitted with appropriate dust extraction equipment. If not in a workshop environment, then MDF should be worked in a well-ventilated area. The use of a respirator equipped with P2 filter units highly recommended.
