MDF Insulation Board 6mm

Medium-density fiberboard with a density of 0.45 g/cm³, made from wood fibers bonded with resins, used primarily for sound and thermal insulation in walls. It falls under HTS 4411.94.00 due to its low density not exceeding 0.5 g/cm³ and classification as fiberboard of wood. This lightweight material is ideal for construction applications requiring minimal weight.

Low-Density Particleboard 9mm

Particleboard made from wood particles with a density of 0.42 g/cm³, bonded with urea-formaldehyde resin, used for lightweight furniture cores. Classified under HTS 4411.94.00 as fiberboard (including particleboard) of density not exceeding 0.5 g/cm³. Its low weight makes it suitable for non-structural applications.

Acoustic MDF Panel 12mm

Low-density MDF panel at 0.48 g/cm³ designed for acoustic absorption in studios and theaters, perforated for sound control. It qualifies for HTS 4411.94.00 as other fiberboard with density ≤0.5 g/cm³ made from ligneous materials. The perforations do not alter its primary fiberboard classification.
