Masisa Ultralight MDF from Timber Products is a medium density fiberboard that weighs about 30% less than standard MDF. Manufactured in Chile from 100% radiata pine, it features an even density profile and a smooth, flawless surface. Thanks to the wide range of available options (12-30mm, 4x8 through 5x10), Masisa MDF is incredibly versatile.

Timber Products manufactures both fir and pine particle board substrates. We produce all grades to fit your needs, including underlayment, door core, commercial, industrial, and specialty. It is also available in many thicknesses, widths and lengths that are not available in plywood.

When it comes to value, what really counts is not how much the MDF costs, but how much it costs to use. Not all MDF panels are alike and may differ by wood species, fiber size, binders, density and consistency. All of these factors have a significant impact on key elements of your processing costs, including:

• Cutting-tool life
• Machine center throughput speed and amp load
• Machined profile quality as it relates to the need for sanding, filling and other steps prior to finishing
• Amount/thickness of coating or laminating material required for adequate coverage
• Defect rates
• Labor
