Medium density fiberboard, or MDF, is a premier substrate. MDF's workability, good dimensional stability, flatness, close tolerances, dent-resistance and lack of grain-telegraphing have contributed to its wide acceptance. Good bond strength, screw-holding, and resistance to compression and warp make MDF an ideal substrate.
Melamine is a slick plastic-like material used to cover a substrate of particleboard or MDF. This material is popular because it is durable and easy to clean. Melamine is a chemically fused paper which is sealed and pressed onto engineered board. This solid-coloured laminate material is popular because it is durable and easy to clean. It is stain and mark-resistant and also heat-tolerant.
