Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) - Market Survey cum Detailed Techno Economic Feasibility Project Report

Description:

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a generic term for a panelprimarily composed of lignocellulosic fibers combined with a synthetic resin orother suitable bonding system and bonded together under heat and pressure. MDFis a wood based composite. The primary constituent is a softwood that has beenbroken down into wood fibres; that is the very cells (tracheids, vessels,fibres and fibre-tracheids), which are far smaller entities than those used inparticleboard. The panels are compressed to a density of 0.50 to 0.80 andspecific gravity (31-50 lb/ft³). Additives may be introduced duringmanufacturing to improve certain properties.

Market Potential

The global potential demand for panel boards is estimated at 250million m³ per year and the potential market for MDF alone is 100million m³. The gap of 150 million m³ can be diverted toparticleboard, plywood & OSB. Bulk of the industrial round wood in India isutilized by the saw milling industry, consisting of more than 23,000 units. Theprojected demand for MDF is 6,70,000 tons, whereas the combined capacity of 2Plants operating in India (Delhi & Calcutta) is only 1,17,000 cubic meters(88,000 tons). Some shortage is covered by MDF imports of around 3,00,000 tons.
