​I dunno, but I can say I have hung many a cabinet doors (melamine) a full
3/4" thick 24" wide by 7' high (think pantry cabinets) and used three
European type hinges (Blum Compact 33's) and they are just fine.

Now, ​MDF _may_ be a bit heavier per sq. ft. but if so, not much.

That's all I got to say 'bout that.
