  2. Medium-density fibreboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

    Medium-density fibreboard. Medium-density fibreboard ( MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. [1] MDF is generally denser than plywood.

  3. Fiberboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberboard

    Fiberboard ( American English) or fibreboard ( British English) is a type of engineered wood product that is made out of wood fibers. Types of fiberboard (in order of increasing density) include particle board or low-density fiberboard (LDF), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and hardboard or high-density fiberboard (HDF).

  4. Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

    AC contactor for pump application. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.

  5. Redox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox

    Sodium "gives" one outer electron to fluorine, bonding them to form sodium fluoride. The sodium atom is oxidized, and the fluorine is reduced. When a few drops of glycerol (mild reducing agent) are added to powdered potassium permanganate (strong oxidizing agent), a violent redox reaction accompanied by self-ignition starts.

  6. Quadratic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_form

    A quadratic form over a field K is a map q : V → K from a finite-dimensional K-vector space to K such that q(av) = a 2 q(v) for all a ∈ K, v ∈ V and the function q(u + v) − q(u) − q(v) is bilinear. More concretely, an n-ary quadratic form over a field K is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 2 in n variables with coefficients in K:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

    Engineered wood. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, human-made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation [1] to form composite ...

  9. Urea-formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea-formaldehyde

    Urea-formaldehyde ( UF ), also known as urea-methanal, so named for its common synthesis pathway and overall structure, [1] is a nontransparent thermosetting resin or polymer. It is produced from urea and formaldehyde. These resins are used in adhesives, plywood, particle board, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and molded objects.
