West Fraser’s medium density fiberboard (MDF) is made from spruce and pine sawdust, refined into a dry pulp-like material, combined with resin and manufactured into different thicknesses and densities to suit every use. At West Fraser’s Ranger Board plant, theri multi-platen press is computer managed to produce a uniform density; face to face, edge to edge, sheet after sheet. This flat density profile allows for heavy shaping, routering and turning and results in machined surfaces that laminate, paint, stain and wrap easily and consistently.
