see below Explanation: Holz schwillt, daher würde ich sagen, Schwellung ist ok. Medium Density Fibreboard is translated with Mitteldichte Faserplatte, just like you surmised, often abbreviated the same as it is in English: MDF. As for Oriented Strand Board, it doesn't seem to be translated, rather its abbreviation and 'Platte' is used: OSB-Platte (see URL). 'Laminate 'is 'Laminat' (< http://dict.leo.org/?search=laminate&lang=en>). As for 'backward integrated panel', I don't think that's Verbundplatte as that is a very generic term (under which MDF and OSB fall, as well), my suggestion here is 'Rückseitig integrierte Platte', indicating that somehow it is integrated with the backerboard.
