Medium-density fibreboard(MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure... Over time, the term MDF has become a generic name for any dry process fibre board. MDF is typically made up of 82% wood fibre, 9% urea-formaldehyde resin glue, 8% water and 1% paraffin wax... 3, record 2, English, - medium%2Ddensity%20fibreboard

Rather than being sawn from a log, engineered wood is made from pieces that have been peeled, chipped or sliced, and bonded together with glue under pressure and heat. In the manufacturing process, defects in the wood bits are either removed or dispersed, making the final product stronger than the original log. Engineered wood products can typically carry nearly twice the load of an equivalent sawn piece of wood. 6, record 6, English, - engineered%20wood

Contrairement au bois de construction traditionnel qui est fabriqué à partir de grumes (rondins de bois), le bois d'ingénierie provient de l'assemblage de pièces de bois qui ont été coupées, écorcées, mises en copeaux ou en lamelles pour être ensuite collées sous pression, dans des conditions de chaleur contrôlées, ou assemblées par d'autres moyens. Au moment de la fabrication, les défauts qui se trouvent dans les morceaux de bois sont éliminés ou répartis sur toute la surface du produit, de sorte que la résistance du produit fini devient supérieure à celle de la grume qui a servi à sa fabrication. En général, les produits de sciage d'ingénierie en bois peuvent supporter près du double de la charge d'une pièce de bois débité. 3, record 6, French, - bois%20d%27ing%C3%A9nierie

The average life of a Rig Mat is 10 years, but many have continued to be active for 15-20 years.... Our rig mats consist of two continuous wood sections with laminations glued and nailed together. The glue between the wooden planks reduces weight gain caused by liquid retention. Strength is mainly provided by the steel beams, and the wood sections assisted by lateral flat bars transfer part of the load from one beam to another. 1, record 10, English, - rig%20mat
