A <a href="/wiki/Urea-formaldehyde" title="Urea-formaldehyde">urea-formaldehyde</a> resin is then injected as the main bonding agent. The wax improves moisture resistance and the resin initially helps reduce clumping.

The mat is precompressed and either sent straight to a continuous hot press or cut into large sheets for a multiple-opening hot press. The hot press activates the bonding resin and sets the strength and density profile. The pressing cycle operates in stages, with the mat thickness being first compressed to around 1.5 times the finished board thickness, then compressed further in stages and held for a short period. This gives a board profile with zones of increased density, thus mechanical strength, near the two faces of the board and a less dense core.<sup id="cite_ref-ANU,_MDF_manufacture_9-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ANU,_MDF_manufacture-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After pressing, MDF is cooled in a star dryer or cooling carousel, trimmed, and sanded.
