MDF is a manufactured wood panel and as such can be altered in the manufacturing process.  Resins and colours can be added to create coloured board or boards resistant to water or fire,  treatments can be applied to create boards that are primed and ready for painting or even pressed with more or less fibre to create  either a high density product (very dense and heavy) or a Low density product (light in weight).
