MDF vs. ECO Rubber
MDF belongs to the wood-based materials classification, while ECO rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber). There are 12 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is MDF and the bottom bar is ECO rubber.
